E30 (1982 - 1993)
God's Chariot. The E30 was produced primarily from 1982 through 1991. The cabriolet was the one exception which was produced through 1993.

Drum to Disc brakes?

Not to familiar with braking systems, however how difficult would it be to convert the rear drum brakes on a 1984 318i to disc? Any good kits?

basically, you have to replace everything. keep the drums. save yourself the headache and money, then buy a 89-91 325

Yeah, or sell it. That's what I did. I mean sell the car. Unless if you are trying to do something absolutely outrageous. They aren't terrible. A little 1.8 can't hurt them. They don't have much use in the first place. Well aside from a minor assistance while braking and when you use the handbrake.

Sorry got to invoke this again but I was out hunting for E30s again and I spotted one with rear disc brakes. It was all powerful and stuff. So it needed some and long story short I met an E30 with 4 pots in front and 2 pots in the rear.
