E30 Zone

I used to do this on my 316,pull out choke a little,push the throttle pedal to squirt some fuel in and away you go.

My 323i is a pig in the wet,what would normally be the correct speed in the dry is not safe in the wet,many a hairy moment,just drive it in the dry now!

Good article.

That looks like it only needs a little work to be nice.

Good work ollie,another one being saved!

Good job that!

I had them on my daily Mondeo,fitted from new,they are good but very soft,only lasted 20K.

And i drive it like a grandad

most of the time

P.S sorry for the reference to a Ford

Adi,nothing wrong with a rolling project,my 323i is like that,its a little rough around the edges but will soon be sorted out,these things take time.
Your car will no doubt be a beauty when done

Rav,so is mine,i will also be after this.

Maybe the zone could charge for this service,could go towards the funds for running the zone.

£15 would be reasonable,however it could become a job in its self!

My mate has been driving a v reg 1.8 mondeo the last week or so and its a right gutless peice of shite no fun what so ever, e30's are all about the fun factor and not for mondeo man :D I have both,the mondeo is perfect for everyday driving to work and back and for family days out,the E30 is my fun ...

I will be going in my chariot,picking my mate up as his 635csi wont be ready in time.

Well someone has to lower the tone in a rusty turd

I would rather burn off my own nipples with a blow torche than go.

Air fresheners are :gay: I bladdered my E34 touring with Wynn's Cockpit Shine yesterday as part of its annual clean and it now looks and smells fantastic :D But as above, best place to start is under the carpet, if its soaked through no amount of fabreze or anything will make much difference. You n...

I had the same engine in my E39,very capable for everyday use,plenty of poke even in the 5 so i would imagine in the E46 it is even better.

Imy,i bought mine from FAB direct breakers,i didnt like the quality of the ECP ones,they seemed a bit flimsy. If it has xenon's which mine did,you will have to get xenon glass as the plastic ones will melt 8O Its a nice easy job though,took about an hour to do mine front side and back. Hope that hel...

That is going to keep you busy for a while...

Will be an epic thread though.

Keep us all updated!

No,dont do it,doesnt look that bad,you will only wish you had kept your E30!

Oh dear,not good news,maybe leave it for a week or 2 and then try again,sometimes a break from a project can do wonders.

Must be frustrating though

you were so close to having it done!

Some good advice,i think i will be following alex's advice and shampoo the carpets etc...

I do leave the sunroof tilted to air it though.

Will report back as soon as done.

Cheers!

Top job

I cant wait to see this done,like B7 said,will set a completly new benchmark.

They are from a E39,i had them on my 528i.

They look good on the E28,much better to use a BMW wheel than some gash halfords tripe.

Plus if you get fed up with them you will be able to sell them on fairly easily.

Cool video!

Chrome bumper cars are cool

As i dont use my E30 much the interior really smells like an old car(i know it is!). Is there anything i could use to get rid of this,i realise it will never smell like new but it does stink a bit! I dont really do air freshners as they can smell a bit sickly. I cant be the only one who has this pro...

Good job there ollie!

Looks to be coming along nicely.

Need to do my sills on my moredoor soon,they really tidy the car up dont they.

What do you have left to do?

I have a moredoor 323i,mine is completely standard.

Most would prefer the 325i,or so it seems,which means there a re very few on the zone,being an early car most have rusted away.

Had a try out today, Not so sure though â†“â†“â†“â†“â†“

What do you think, Stay or not ???

Not!

Looks better standard in my opinion.

With the 3.5 in there must be a real weapon!

Great looking touring that,the wheels really look good.

Is that a 3.5litre in there?

I think your on about the Silver Merc?

And nice Alpina, I love the steel wheel and chrome trim in the last picture!

So it is,i must get my eyes tested

The ultimate preface car for me,would love an Alpina,maybe one day.
The chrome really lifts the outside of the car,i can see why it has grown on you.

Stunning car and great photo's

Cant believe the mileage,looks like it has done half that!

Looks like you have a collection of BMW's.is that a preface E30 i see aswell.

Nicely specced Alpina you have,doesnt look like too much needed to finish it off.

You've got to save it, the colour is brillant, Tech1s are nice, hope theres no hidden horrors underneath those arches!Looks like it could just do with a good clean & tidy up apart from that :D If you think that will just need a good clean and tidy up then you are missguided. That will need strippin...

Adi,that will be stunning when its finished,Dolphin grey is one of the best colours of that period...totally un biased of course winkeye It looks to be mainly bodywork that needs doing,has it done many miles? I think that would have been registered in my neck of the woods too,chelmsford is AR i beli...

Also the engines were changed,525i became 24v vanos equipped and 530i became a V8,not sure on others.

Wider grill and different bonnet are the big tell tale signs of the facelift,also body coloured sills and bumpers.
