Hi all, I'm pretty new to the forum and very new to E30 ownership.
In September of last year I bought a 2011 M3 sedan, excited about the V8 and ready for a taste of the legendary M3 badge. While the car was impressive, its limits were pretty far beyond what was achievable on public roads and I missed the raw connection to the road offered by cars like my (1971) 2002. I worked out a trade deal with a coworker for his 1988 DS and couldn't be happier. The car has 125k miles, all original body panels, and is essentially stock. There are some 'weekend projects' to get it up to date on maintenance and running smoothly but I am really enjoying the car. Please enjoy these photos, taken today after the first wash. I've already spent many hours poring over the forum and I look forward to being a part of the community.






For those curious, here's my (former) E90. Searched high and low for this configuration - 6-speed, competition package, no iDrive, cloth seats, and no sunroof.
