If so, and you were collecting a PC from an industrial unit in Guilford yesterday, nice motor!
I was the bloke giving it admiring looks whilst talking to my 'David Brent-a-like boss

Anybody else catch 5th gear last night. Quality sideways action in the new M5. What an engine

Sam, do you have a relative called Fred?

Mate if ever you need to break the ice with the German fraulines use one of the following lines. Works everytime for me when I'm out there: Blasen Mir Meine liebling or the winner every time line Haben sie etwas gegan durschfall meine liebling. Whether your trying to feed a pony or trying to get an...

Working in Geremany this week and, jesus have I spotted some decent E30's. Spotted a touring yesterday in a kind of mauve/purple. Anybody else ever seen one this colour. It was completely standard so I didn't think it had been re-sprayed this colour?? On a non-E30 note, I pulled up next to a gloriou...

I've got a 1990 316i Lux that tries to stall if it gets warm, in traffic etc. I had it tuned a while ago which seemed to help, but not solve the problem.
Its now getting bad again and I wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem.

Cheers

I keep meaning to take some pics and post them on here. I work away a lot (typing this from a vets in Germany!) so I just need to make the time when I'm home. I'm sure that Lagoon green is rare on 2/4 door E30's. I've never seen another 2 door in this colour! Mines just gone over 70k and I love it t...

Where abouts are you from? I see a lagoon green 4-door driving near me (S/W London) sometimes. Cant remember the reg tho. Always notice it as I have a lagoon green 2-door lux!

Mine cured themselves in the same way. I was just contemplating a strip down ansd clean when they seemed to 'wear' themselves in.
Sweet

I've got 2 areas, 1 on each rear wing, where the laquer seems to be flaking off. Its slowly getting worse and I really need to sort it out. Has anybody else encountered this? My car is the metalic laggon green colour which, I would imagine, will be a pain in the arse to try to anything with myself. ...

New tyre, cracked number plate and 2 bulbs.
Don't you just hate that 'what are they going to uncover' feeling when your waiting but love that 'E30 build quality' feeling when it passes!
She's just coming up to the 70K milestone too

WTF is going on here? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 71208&rd=1

Sweet. I'm thinking of going for the 4th one down from the top. I've always wanted a pic-nic table for a rear bumper. Going to top it all off with a full set of the persian floor mats too!!

Be interesting to see how many bids this gets. Ridiculous starting price if you ask me.

I got exactly the same today. AOL suck!!

Looks the same colour as my 1990 316i Lux. Its listed in my paperwork as Lagoon green.
Is it the same colour as is often found on the later touring's?

Spotted it on the back of a transport this morning going through Esher.
Looked like a drivers side shunt

.
If I wasn't late for work, I would have chased after it to see if it was getting scrapped!

Anyone thought of drilling & tapping the wheel and screwing through the cap?[/quote] I've been planning to try exactly that. I was just going to drill a small clearance hole into the cap then spot-thro onto the wheel. You can then drill and tap to suit maybe an M4 grub-screw or similar. The bonus is...

How much do you want for the is

I'd like some too please!

Any idea of costs etc?

There used to be a small garage near Walton-on-Thames that I used. The owner races E30 M3's in his spare time. When I first got my 316i Lux, he did a full service inc. cambelt (he had the car for 1 1/2 days and pulled it to bits to check everything for me) for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£250. I'm not sure if he is still...

Cheers Luke.
I've heard the colour called emerald green before too. Its similar to the Boston green common to the E36. Its also quite popular on the later model Tourings and Cabs.
It is basicaly a dark metalic green.

Hello all. Stumbled across this excellent forum while bored at home with a sore neck! I've got a 2-door 1990 316i Lux in Lagoon green. I've had it for about a year now and am still as happy with it now as the day I bought it (for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1400). Its just covered 68K and I must have done the last 10k o...
