How terrible of an idea is it to get an e30 as your first car? I'm interested in working on cars so I'd be willing to do any repairs I could by myself.
E30
>bad taste in clothes
but thats fire outfit
bumping for interest
Get one only if you have the money to replace every single part in it
Roughly how much should i budget for that?
about the same price of the car
After 200k integral parts like the master cylinder, steering pumps, and timing start to go bad and can be expensive

Engines are pretty bulletproof from what I'v heard, its everything else that goes bad.
I started with a 944 don't be a bitch
The engines run forever if you take care of them but a lot of the other small parts are going to have to be replaced; shocks, brakes, gaskets, etc.
I had a 91 325i Cabrio that I found a hard top for, was my first car and I still have it 7 years later. All in all, I'd say it was DEFINITELY worth it for $3400.
