    As far as I know, both are expensive to get and build up. The Bimmer will be more, though. Plus costly to maintain. Money-wise, you'd be better off with the Toyota. Later, QD.

    That is just dead wrong.

    Bimmer will be more? I know of a running e30 for 1700. 1987 325is with 170,000mi. New clutch and basic maintenance.

    The e30 will more than likely be CHEAPER to maintain and you can actually drive one till the wheels fall off. Mods are plentiful and not too costly.

    If you watch craigslist you will find sub 1,000 dollar e30s and you watch it religiously you can find one that says 'tow away this overpriced piece of shit'... Like I did. 1989 325i for free. Put a crank sensor in it and ran like a champ... Even had a BRAND NEW head on it.

    Get an e30. There is a reason they have the cult following they do


    To OP you didn't look very hard... There are literally hundreds for sale in the SE in various conditions.
