Why don't I want an '84 318i?

So, a little follow up, the car has "emissions problems", so I'm passing it up rather than trying to fight the smogotistas.

Thanks for all the info! I'm sad it didn't work out.

you poor bastards. In my state they don't even have an inspection.

That is because nobody but cows live there.

I don't mind the emissions test, I just wish they'd relax their grip with the rest of the inspection. Seriously, if I can pass the sniffer with a 429, what does it matter if it's in a Corolla?

Link to the CL ad?

318i - $500 - Petaluma

that's a funny ad.

It really is .

Limited production 4 cylinder model made in Germany.

Then cut to an underexposed photo of a banged-up E30 with some guy in a sweatshirt peering in through the window. Awesome.
