A black and tan E30 would help balance out the three red ones.

Looks like a nice deal. But if (and that's the biggest "if" ever to grace the internets) I ever buy another e30 it's going to have to be an M3.

I'm not loving the black on tan cloth scheme, but it looks like a nice car.

Michelin Pilot Sport

blech to both.

bridgestones are heavy and not communicative at the limits (had the re070s on the STi and an experience with s03s on the xiT).

the pilot sports were a fad. comparing to the PS2s to the PS1s you can see how michelin learned the error of their ways. those trendy v treads give up way too much dry grip and there are other CAD-assisted ways to design treads that can spit water out of the grooves with better dry grip.
