E30 Zone

I was driving home from work recently (Worthing Area) when i saw a stunning looking E30 Convertible coming in the opposite direction.... And i wondered if the car belonged to anyone here? It was eye catching, not only because it had a Tech-1 Kit - with genuine convertible skirts. But also it was fin...

Why do so many people advertise their convertibles as 'Motorsport Editions' when they are just 325i Convertibles with an M-tech Kit. I am not talking about genuine Macau/Sebring/Nogaro/Calypso/Mauritius cars, but all the other stuff I see advertised as genuine 'Motorsport Editions' This one for exam...

Could the electric (sport) seats from a late spec E24 fit into the E30? And to take the question further.... the E30 and E24 seats look identical in design... could a set of E30 (Sport) seats be converted to electric operation, if one wanted to keep the E30 trim? At this moment it is a purely hypoth...

After selling my Macau Motorsport Edition, its been a little while since i have owned anything Bavarian... But in the last couple of weeks i seem to have wound up with 2 of them. 1 needs to go, just cant decide which one..... Here is my 2001 E38 (having just fitted the 18"M-parallels)..... http://i1...

Don't worry Tony, I'm fully aware of just how good a drive and ownership experience the E30 cabs .... I'm making the most of mine whilst I still have the opportunity to drive it everyday, so much so that what should be a 20 min drive home now lasts upto an hour and a half some evenings.... Only rain...

I agree with Tony...... I think your car is one of the nicest looking cabs i have seen! Royal Blue/Tech-1/Chrome = Perfect!!! If i was not having to sell mine, due to the total lack of use it will receive after the end of the month, I'd probably be thinking of selling it to buy yours!!! And i really...

I think Chandlers Angmering must do a good rate for the older models as they quoted £100.00 (inclusive) to do the valve adjustment on my E30. Which sounds like a good price to me?

Thanks for the advice, and concern chaps...... I appreciate you guys that have worked in Renault bodyshops have probably seen some real horrors, but i have a friend who works at a vehicle recovery centre where they hold cars that have been in accidents, and anything and everything can have its entir...

They will be ok.... drive with sensible hat on when they are in the car, and if they break anything then i'll give the car to my brother for him to sort. and the thing only owes me £1500.00 with no point buying an estate or large car when we already have an E36 Touring for bigger journeys or trips a...

try classic heroes in sussex, based less than a mile from me. a chap called barney started munich legends then sold it, thats when it went down hill! the staff are now crap! id go to classic heroes as thats where the passion is. hope this helps simon read the above posts, Barney Halse was running m...

Nope, not Peckmam Dan. Worthing, West Sussex.
Jhonno, i'd never scrolled that far down the forum page before to even notice there was an "Other Marques" section

If one of the mods wants to move the thread, thats fine.....

Haha.... Days with the wife are few and far between

I appreciate that there is new ownership, and i have no experience of dealing with the new owners..... But the F@#king last ones i disliked a lot. I went there 9/10 years ago after seeing that they had a Calypso Red E30 M3 Convertible on a K-Registration, it had 1/2 Leather 1/2 M-tech cloth good mil...

So, as mentioned in an other thread, i am forced to sell my E30 Convertible, as it was originally to be my daily driver for the nice commute i do along the coast every day.... Now i will need to incorporate a drop off at the Child Minder and Nursery and have baby seats in the back and a 1yo and a 4y...

It was my day in pictures..... Really, do CR24V people not know of a world outside of getting dirt under their fingernails and having a wank over some bint in the Sunday Sport. The rabbits were there, so I took a pic. It was a picnic, so I took a pic, I was with my wife, so I took a pic, we used the...

Thanks Adit

Mabz...... Hope you are enjoying the SL, come close a few times in the distant past to buying an early R129 300-24. But never did

Haha Duke..... Boom Tish

I think he may have been genuine but lived really far away and had money burning a hole and couldn't wait For me to sell (fair play) he contacted me to say he bought a Mercedes SL320 last night.

No, not decided either way.... But I think if I advertise her she'll sell quickly (one on e-bay in wank condition with the interior missing <replaced with a normal cabby interior> No MOT and no tax or history and with an auto box just sold for £2395 within half a day of being advertised). So for the...

Thanks, that is me...... although, more 70's bloated Elvis than Brad Pitt

Yeah, i am making the most of the Sun and some Annual leave, as, in leass than a months time i'll barely get chance to drive it

But thats then, this is now, and any, and every opportunity i'm there, roof down!!

Well, in my bid to make full use of the car before things change, and i'll barely get chance to see it, never mind use it. I took a day off work, gave the car a clean in the morning, packed a picnic, put the roof down, picked up the wife from work, drove along the coast and had a picnic up in the hi...

Hi Mabz......

Sorry for the late reply, i have just PM'd you via the Cutters. If you would like to use the PM on this site, that would prob be better but not essential.

Thanks,

Richard.

Agreed, a very poor advert..... I do know though, that cars such as E30 Convertibles carry a huge price premium over in Australia.

I can also confirm that early Motorsport Editions (the first 40) were listed as so, by having the following option codes: 122 Motorsport Edition 490 Special Paint (Macau Blue) later in life 490 was an individual colour 'Santorini Blue' 9990 Special Upholsty (this is not specific to the colour silver...

Hi Mabz....

The scab is very very slight and around the aerial on the top of the rear wing.
I'll drop you a PM via 'Cutters.

Yeah, I have only just bought the car..... I have a jag, that i have had for years, and it's my real P&J but see's little use (180 miles in the last 18 months) Knowing that i have no intention of selling (I advertised her, and got cold feet the second I had a phone call from someone wanting to come ...

Well, we'll see how it goes..... IF i decide to sell i'll be sure to let the forum know. Although i think i would quite like to still have an E30 as the ownership experience is every bit as good as i remember from the 3 i had back in the mid 90's, and a nice, clean 325i Auto Touring could tick all t...

Thanks for the comments...... I see some of the later cars at 7-8k upwards and i see specialist garages selling nice condition 320i convertibles at 5-6k, then i see £1800 being a starting point for half decent NON motorsport editions convertibles, and was thinking of placing mine at about £3500.00 a...

Ok, not entirely sure i am going to sell, but it may be an option depending on how much i wind up 'not' using the car now that my wifes job had changed and i'll be using the family car for work (and to and from work is pretty much the only time i useually get to use my car).... My kids and and wife ...

Back in the early/mid 90's a friend had a Diamond Black 325i Sport (Tech-1) which had been lowered and fitted with a set of 17" Venoms and it actually looked great at the time.

Hi, the kit is a genuine M-tech 1 kit, but the sills are from a Tech-1 Sport, the previous owner (a friend of mine) had the kit fitted by a bodyshop about 4 years ago, there was no rust back then, and lots of preventative measures were taken to ensure the dreaded rot would not make an appearance (ev...

Thanks chaps...... The wheels were on the car, and with fresh tyres they'll remain for a while, whilst i decide what to change them to. They actually look much better in real life, but i know they need to go.....

having spent a few days cleaning the car, i got chance to take a few pics today...... Still plenty to be getting on with though. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n278/richard301/closeup-1.jpg http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n278/richard301/rightsideroofdown.jpg http://i114.photobucket.com/album...

Thanks for the comments chaps..... Jim, your plan sounds good for the stereo. Popped an old Blaupunkt single slot CD player in there yesterday as a stop gap. My friend had the loom done when he had the factory speakers changed for JL Audio ones, and luckily everything is all nice and tidy with an IS...

Here is the Mortorsport Edition i bought several weeks ago. Finally put her on the road as i wasn’t able to find the time to visit where she was stored..... http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n278/richard301/Picture017-1.jpg A few things to do....
