E30 Zone

Hi all I had a full detail done on my car last year. Since then I have used the 2 bucket method and various cleaning solutions to maintain the paint in good condition. I am very short of time these days and with the car sat on the street it's not looking great. The hosepipe ban is not going tp help ...

Thanks Mark and Kos. Will print and read this eve.

Hi all No longer an E30 owner, nor a BMW for that matter I am looking at getting back into the BMW fold :D with an E39 Touring. Following the birth of my son last month, I need a 'baby wagon' and have discounted the more sensible choices. I was looking at a Lexus IS 300 Sport Cross (good spec. and R...

where the hell have been sir ?

Ha ha...not wanting to hijack this thread but I have been working in various countries. Now in London for while. No E30 though.

I see you're back in the E30 fold. I'll follow this with interest

Hi all Not been on here much since selling the E30. Just clearing out all my E30 related stuff as the 325i Cab went a while ago. Can anyone tell me what the technical name for this is and how much it's worth if anything: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4903/l1050044.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.u...

Good to see you you're still cracking on with this Simon. By the way, congratulations, I hear you're getting married.

Jon

Thanks for that most comprehensive reply.

Will let you know how we get on.

Hi all

I am going with a friend this Sunday who is buying a 1998 540 Touring.

Anything he should know? Any known issues?

Cheers

Mahmood

He bought my convertible so he must be a top bloke.

Joking aside, a true professional, stood by his word, turned up, did the deal and paid up his hard-earned.

Pleasure doing business with you and hope all is well with (my

) oops...your convertible.

I bought a Cup Kit from Sal for my convertible. It was a -60/40mm setup. I later changed the springs to -30mm all round.

Great ride, over the stock set up, car felt very stable at speed and with uprated ARBs and a strut brace, felt quite a bit more sturdy. Looked great too

There will be one one for sale on Ebay soon

along with a whole host of rare E30 items.

My blue hardtop was stolen on Christmas Eve 2006 along with my stereo. It was parked outside my flat with the alarm on. It was stolen to order no doubt about it. I also live in North London. Luckily, I was able to claim on the insurance and got a black replacement one through the BMW Car Club. In fa...

I sold mine last month. It was on here, Pistonheads and Car and Classic. I had no issues with the three Ts (timewasters, test-pilots and tyre-kickers). I had loads of calls offering me money before they'd seen the car in the metal and you can tell how genuine these people are anyway. In the end, it ...

Looking good Dr.

Baz666: yes, the skirts are 100% OE MTEC I for a convertible.

Enjoy...once the snow has cleared!

I used -60/40mm H&R Cup Kit with 16" Alpinas that rubbed on the back.

I then changed to -30mm Springs with Cup Kit shocks and 15" BBS and that sorted it.

You can get the springs from the Zone Shop.

BBS RS anyday

Sold mine last week to a fellow Zoner...like you, I used to drive with the roof down even if the sun wasn't shining.

Enjoy

Knowing that lot, this car will be priced north of £15K easily. What a car though

I'm pleased the car has gone to a good home.

Ian seems like the kind of chap who will continue to look after the car as I have done for almost the past three years.

Happy motoring

Sorry to hear this. As Simon says, Design Covertibles are rare (v. limited production run) and in the future, a good example will fetch good money. I had a hardtop nicked off my cab in the middle of the night. It was no opportunist theft. Car was targetted for a blue OE hardtop. They are very vulner...

lower it slighty, improve the springs/shocks and add a front strut brace.

I sold one Fleabay last month for about £870.00

You gotta lose those running boards that act as bumpers!

Otherwise, nice car.

Well spotted...you're not asleep then

Yes, it's a 528i SE.

Thanks

Can someone give me the standard UK spec. for a 1998 E39 528i SE? I have looked around and keep coming up with the US spec. The car I am interested in is specified as follows: - Ex-demo car with 32,000 miles and full BMWSH (no issues with the M52 Block - confirmed to me by BMW UK) - 2 Former keeper...

Looking great, love the rims.

I'll call you in the next few days.

Thanks Ziggy, will give the chap a call today.

Hi all I have two dents/dings that need sorting out :cry: One is historical and been there for a while and the other has appeared recently courtesy of the local bin men me thinks. The new one is smack in the corner of the front wing (above the bumper) and next to the headlights. Has anyone used peop...

That's a very nice mod. Cliffy. Love it.

Great job Dips

Nice pics and by all accounts a good time was had by all.

One day....

Looks better after.

You like making work for yourself don't you bro'?

I'm sure it'll be a major transformation.

Until the next instalment....

Stunning

Blitz877 - who drew your car for the banner? It's great. I'd like one done. Let me know.
