Thanks and quite. Context might help. I am advertising the car for sale. I couldn't give a shit what it is. But I would like to get as much cash as possible for it.

So there is a Sport version and a Motorsport version?

Were people able to add Msport bits and pieces throughout production?

There is an ad up at the moment saying the Motorsport edition started in 1988.

My car is a 1986 and has M badging on the steering wheel, gear knob and interior door locks. It also has 15" BBS wheels. Not sure about the suspension.

What have I got?

BMW spent millions in R and D,and pretty much got things right. However,Alpina and other well respected tuners managed to get more out of the M20 with head fettling(talk to Simon13)and different exhaust systems. Stock system from the dealer will not be a cheap option,but will fit perfectly and 'sou...

Had the impression (from reading other bits of the Net) that you can run it on classic policy but you never build up/keep any no claims so therefore after a couple of years you've lost the no claims discount you've built up over the years incase you change your mind and go back to a typical car.......

I have seen a couple of DIY kits on US forums do great things to scarred and worn leather. Do any UK e30 owners here have a favourite? I hope to rub in the stuff to fill the cracks and then make the black more black, perhaps with a dye? Or is it not right to fill the crack with gunk?

Its a realy worth doing job looks so much better :D Ta for comment on car, i must say looks better on pics, but all round its in pretty good nick. Some more pics on members E30s on 1st or 2nd page just look for my sig. Looks very clean. What is its mileage? I would love to go out in someone's timew...

30 ? Cheap ! Is that for a complete front screen piece ? In sure it was more than that when I enquirerd The condition of this and all black trim/rubber on an e30 really make the difference in it being a nice car or not, they look much better when its really nice That is just the alloy strip, seal a...

Think it was about 40 quid thats with the clip at bottom. Had to get someone with the tool to fit it though. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s299/abev--01/newe30009-1.jpg That is a beauty, mate. Something for me to aspire to on mine. I totally love the colour scheme too, the black and the brown ...

Thanks for the common sense reminder! I rang them - 30 quid new from BMW is not a bad price.

Is it the same and how much was it?

I can't find a thread about sourcing new the plastic coated alloy trim that embeds in the windscreen seal. A fitter tells me the Mini trim is similar but will be slightly raised and the join cover won't go on. This sounds ok but if it is still available new I would prefer to do that. Is there a supp...

500 zloty is a hundred quid.....

500 zloty and you're on.

Update! After nearly 4 years I found one having made compromises just to get one in good nick. 1986 325i Convertible Sport with 15" BBS wheels in white with black hood and black leather, 71,000 on the clock - £3500. I have been looking nearly weekly, waiting for a really tidy one to come in at under...

I've got plastic ones and they just rattle and when I try to take them off to gob them from behind they just spin round. Do they not screw off? E30 BBS type wheels don't have all plastic caps. If E30 caps spin right around, then the catches are badly worn/chipped, and should come off easily when yo...

Not noticed any difference when filling up with mine.

a good service and thorough check for vac hose leaks is where to start . fair point....anyone work on e30s in Yorkshire on this forum? Whereabouts in Yorkshire? I use these guys: http://www.autohausdiagnostics.co.uk/ near York. Excellent service and decent rates - but they've got a two week waiting...

Hi All I finally bought my first e30 325i convertible. I'd love to show you it but i can't work out how to upload jpeg pics yet, if indeed it is possible here? I'm already looking for quick solutions to get a better exhaust tone, better throttle response and perhaps a touch more power. It seems a bi...

Does the 325is engine slot easily into a UK 325i convertible?

Auto box, no air con, not a Motorsport. Is he having a giraffe? This approaching M3 prices

Just tried to pm you but got no confirmation that it went and nothing in my sent items.

no more than 5 grand

Hmm yes I had heard the aircon is not so good on them.....but it is traffic jams in summer with hood down that are really unpleasant. It made me not remove the hood on my last cars (spitfire and x19). So, get one without aircon first and if I still feel the want for aircon, get a used one, perhaps f...

Hi All I mailed a few months ago asking for advice on a car I saw, was it good value etc? Well I still haven't found the one for me and have bought an e46 as a stopgap until I get exactly the right one. Problem is, I sometimes see one with all but one of the features I want....mostly aircon is the p...
