E30 Zone

Try some 303 aerospace protectant. I've just got some to put on my boat vinyl interior and canopy. I'm also going to use it on my E30 dashboard too to keep it nice.

Steve_k it would be good if we can organise a local meet/drive session. I saw on Facebook group there is still a meet on off junction 29 every first Monday of the month at the elm tree in heath village.

I'm not sure which one is the fridge but that large white bird poo on the right should be painted yellow and lifted by a flatbed...

We went gainsborough, through torksey, right at lights and over Dunham bridge and right at East Markham - grove, Rampton etc it was a good run out and nice weather to hand. That freezer really did smell! I have a few 'artistic'/'scene' shots involving it too but I'm so computer illiterate I can't re...

Cool pics matey

it was a nice run out driving aimlessly, Dunham bridge is nice, shame about the gypo dumped freezer with the hanging rotting meat inside!

Anyone?

Ps the car had a cat fitted of which I had removed so I don't know if it should have a centre muffler and I don't particularly want to carv the existing backbox up to find out what's inside it if at all possible. Cheers

Hi, I am going down the route of having a custom stainless steel exhaust built for an M30 H28, I assume the spec would 'probably' be similar to an Alpina system in terms of placement of baffles and mufflers on the system (if any). I have got a new Hartge tip to go on the end so all they will be repl...

It's good to see the prices going up on solid e30's and not the other way. That is good money for a more door

Cool dude! This year has been too hectic anyway and the e30 has only been out the garage a handful of times this year, hopefully next year I'll have a bit more spare time on my hands to mess with the car so count me in.

I've got a prefacelift hella heck blend in the loft, fortunately the mounting parts were missing so I never used it. I prefer the standard pre-facelift oem black plastic heck blend which I have on now, the reflective one is an acquired taste! It was I only approx 20 quid directly from the dealer a f...

Steve, do you know of any local regular gatherings/meets/events going on down this neck of the woods? There never seems to be any action going on around here...

Yeah me and Matt you could say are very local as in a stones' throw... unbeknown to me we bought our house and one day a supercharged 'is rolled up outside... I knew that car and as it happened we met at Thoresby classic car show a few years before and had not seen him since (small world!

)

I'm on my phone and it's hard work dude uploading to photo bucket

I took some earlier this year on my phone in clumber park and matlock bath so will get them up as soon as

^ Hey up neighbour :cool: My story goes like this, I bought my first tech 2 sport after owning a daytona violet individual e34 525i sport. The e34 got me into bmw's but after purchasing the E30 sport I soon realised the shiny 'mint' car had some serious issues! Long story short after spending a lot ...

Lol ok dude too bad, anyone else going!?

Anyone going to this bank holiday Monday? I'm not sure if there is going to be much BMW action there or not this year as not a lot has been mentioned about it... so will probably end up a 'billy'

just browsing the meets and events section and can find no real mention of this yrs gaydon show, I thought with it being the e30's 30th anniversary it would have been a big one on here... is the e30 zone doing a stand this yr? or is anyone going?

450 bleeding mile round trip, but an excellent show, beautiful location, great museum and a nice run out for the turds. Well done team zone

Received the pre-facelift cluster SI board, its absolutely spotless and batteries are now replaced so fingers crossed no more leaky battery issues for me

Hi, I received the cluster ok apart from SI board no good and one of the mounting lugs on the housing broke off in transit despite your epic attempt in packaging :cry: (they just don't care chucking peoples stuff about). Have glued it back on which seems to have set ok but it doesn't really matter a...

Beautiful! What MPG though? I think the E30 is bad enough never mind 6 bleeding litres worth! If only I had the cash, space, blah blah blah

I defo would!

Mine is a garage queen and I taxed/mot'd it from the beginning of march because of needing to get it to my new address from its storage location, so have used it on a few dry only days albeit the roads have been a bit salty :cry: When the bad weather passes the underside and arches are going to get ...

I'll go and park mine in our town centre, there's plenty of abandoned places there!

Nice colour I had an E34 525i sport (limited individual spec) in Daytona violet too.

Nice late touring there! Its good to get them back out isn't it

28k is an awful amount of money to part with, I think there are better opportunities out there for that amount of cash but still a very nice car nonetheless.

I wonder is Hartge de and Birds UK had different standards in build quality, Mine is German/LHD with plaque under bonnet. I've not really inspected a UK build under a fine tooth comb but I agree a couple of bits could have been accomplished a little better with more attention to detail but I'm a per...

Ah ok thanks for clearing that up Brian

I left mine disconnected for 1 1/2 years, never again!

Even though I really do love the E30, no matter how rich I was I just couldn't justify parting with that amount of cash for any 80's scrap, no matter how mint/rare it is. There are better ways to spend that sort of cash, saying that I don't think I would part with 100k on ANY car/money pit/liability...

Now that is interesting kedge

The term if it isn't broke don't fix it comes to mind! Why would BMW bother with that to then change it again (completely). Are those batteries defo the original spec or could it be a possible retrofit in place of the AA size batteries like on mine?

I've been looking for ages and I cannot seem to find anywhere to purchase a pair of replacement Si board batteries. They are for the early Si board with the AA size red Varta 500 rst batteries - not the latter smaller size sanyo type on the facelift cars.

Any ideas?

I had a sport that like you it looked wicked init on the outside but then you Delve deeper... unfortunately I spent a fortune on it doing bits and bobs like the rear arches, new suspension etc and full servicing getting it in really nice fettle and then I discovered the roof was full of rust when I ...

Get some pics up I do like a Baur, I can't put my finger on it why but I think they are
