youre very welcome. like i said before, check the timing belt first. then you 
can nit pick through all the other things that may need replacing.  the M20 
engines in these cars are bullet proof if you maintain them well. 200K or 
more miles is not uncommon at all. ive seen a couple with over 300K on them.

www.bmpd.com  is BMPs website. i believe they have the Bentley manual on 
there for $34.95, which is the cheapest ive seen around. most places want at 
least $40 for it. definitely get one, its an extremely helpful resource. as 
for sites, try www.bmwe30.net which is the E30 network website. its loaded 
with great E30 info.

if properly cared for, this car will not disappoint. it is an absolute blast 
to drive, and it gets even more fun with every upgrade. have fun;)
