Scheiterhaufen zur Feuerbestattung: 1991 BMW 318i

I really don't know what to say about this car.  On the plus side, it IS a small bumper E30 BMW with a manual gearbox...but there's the little thing about the wheels or lackthereof...or...the use of firewood as a makeshift version of used kitchen stoves.  The best part of the firewood floor stand system is you can see the evolution -- first the blocks went under the suspension parts and Noah decided that wasn't good enough, so he put the blocks under the frame and it still wiggled around like a Trump fixer under oath and finally the outrigger flying buttress pieces were installed.  Job done.  Just, please no smoking near it. Find this 1991 BMW 318i offered for $1100 CAD ($835USD) in Richmond, B.C., Canada via craigslist. Tip from Erik202.

6-Speed V8 Swap: 1991 BMW 318i M62

The E30 generation BMW 3-series was the breakout story for BMW's mainstream domestic success -- sort of the automotive equivalent of the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night.  Sure, BMW had large scale success with the 2002 & E21 (and the Beatles with Please Please Me & With the Beatles) but the Bayerische Motoren Werke sold 2.4 million E30s from 1982 through 1993.  It was the beginning of BMWmania.  Find this 1991 BMW 318i M62 here on eBay bidding for $2,550 reserve-not-met located in Miwaukee, WI with 8 days to go.

24 Valves, 5 speeds, 4 doors: 1991 BMW 318i w/ S52 Swap

What's better than your average BMW E30? A 4-door E30 with moar power, of course. Although this car is sporting two more cylinders than it left the factory with, just like yesterday's V8-swapped 325e, I'd reckon that it's the smarter solution. It started life as a lowly 318i 4-cylinder and has now inherited two more slugs from an E36 offspring - a 3.2L M3 to be more precise. . Find this S52-swapped E30 4-door for sale in New York's Hudson Valley for $8,200 via craigslist.
