E30 Zone

Not much of a comparison, but I regularly used to blow my buddys Lexus IS200 away off the traffic lights. The traction control kicking in on his car was almost soul destroying.

As much as it pains me to say i will be there but unfortunately without my E30 but with my mate and his audi. Be good to to be there and finally meet some of you though. I feel your pain.. I've got to pull out completely. Massively annoying as I live 2 miles from Billing. I've been nominated to go ...

Do you know Blake, who works for the Northampton branch of Euros ?

All over it Jim, only 20 mins from my house so we can have coffee and bacon rolls at mine first and convoy over? 1. Jim320i 2. bmandy68 3. Meatballs82 4.

Front wheel arches bubble on these. My 53 plate one is just starting to on both sides. Have a proper good look at the wings on this one as its a much earlier car. IF its not a pricey repair, you should have a good motor that'll go for ages. Mine's 100% reliable, and on original turbo at 165k.

I made it to Pod last year but had to bring my nippers, couldn't really get involved with the bbq and beers as I spent most of the evening keeping an eye on them. It was either take them or not go.. I've been without an E30 for about a year now, but expect to finish my M535i later this year, move it...

I've just pulled out the shitty Clarion HU from my car, that looks like a big old wirey mess that a previous owner installed. I've got a nice old Alpine TDM7545R 35x4 with an Alpine CD changer to replace it. Whilst my car is minus its interior, I thought I might as well fit an amp and sub at the sam...

I expect you've tried this already, but the bootlock might not be connected to the central locking. Have you unlocked it using the actual bootlock itself? They do get quite stiff, try pushing it right in, whilst holding the key blade. Works on mine, anyways.

we can help build your 4-berther :idea: providing all the parts are present,if there's any left over parts at the end then....you aint seen me right! :) Nice one :thumb: Have just reserved a smaller one at Argos, cos my oldest was gutted when I told him earlier camping was off. Hopefully the missus...

I've checked their website steve and can't see anything in the camping info section that says there is a time limit on arrival Read the small print http://www.bmwshow.co.uk/tickets.php It says 'day' admission is until 6pm. I was under the impression that a weekend ticket would get you in anytime, s...

Only way in after 6pm is over the fence.

There was a lady zoner who showed up at one of the Coventry meets ages ago in a very low blue cabbie, with her pet dog sitting on the passengers seat. It wasn't Rav in a wig.

Ive got two E46's one being a 2001 330i auto saloon with 94k. Its a cracking drive, much nicer than my 320d, revvier and much faster, and I love an autobox with decent horsepower. Unfortunately, I'll be moving it on soon, as owning three BMW's and having a work car is pointless for me over winter!

Yep. we got pensioners coming this.time. :mad: Looks like I'm camping, and to widen the age range, bringing my 7 and 9 year olds. Although, as I only live 15 mins from Santa Pod, we may head home if it pi$$es down.... Looking at the ticket small print, I'm showing up late afternoon on Saturday, so ...

Postage donation done. I'll be tapping on your shoulder at Pod if my paypal account gets drained by a small african dictatorship.

Yep, got my pass too.

More than happy to paypal a quid towards postage.

I'll be along in my E28. Will just hide it between a couple of tents

All E30s are taxed as private/light goods, in the higher capacity bracket.

Takes me back to a long time ago, when I had a '72 Mini registered as a '65 for Historic Vehicle class, with an '87 MG Metro engine in it....

Nice nuy, Those ~Hartges can be picked up cheap :D Yeh, I might see if anyone wants to straight swap 'em for some standard E34 alloys :mad: How about, some E34 alloys AND a set of steelies! Bargain of the century? They must be cheap as Rav has some :D I might PM him and ask if he has any touch in s...

I posted this question elsewhere on the zone - what do you guys reckon if I was to get a bmw motorsport tricolour stripe, approx 1.5 inches wide, along the swage line of the car? A bit too council, or would it look OK?

Duke137 wrote:That interior is awesome! Beige/tan has grown on me recently

When I first heard the car was white with light interior, I expected it to look effing awful. Its kindof growing on me now. Fortunately, a previous owner has removed the original interior, that was green !

Yep, the very same car. I turned up with well below asking price in my backburner !

A few zoner put up a few pics of his rather sweet E28 M535i recently http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=194754&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 so I hope it won't offend anyone if I do the same - I don't have the rimz or interior yet though ! http://i258.photobucket.com/...

My missus had a 306 1.9TD for ages, ran it upto 165k with minimal servicing over 5 years with no problems. Only replaced it after she reversed into a Range Rover. We now have a 320d facelift 150 bhp 6-speed, it now has 160k on it, and its been a great car so far....

Just got a quote £88 for both sides, fitted. That gets me a 33mm wide triclour stripe along the full length of the car.

Anyone got any idea how wide a factory stripe would normally be?

Thats what im hoping. It's proving difficult to get enough pics of a car fitted with the stripes for them to copy !
All I've found so far on ebay.de is the rolls of correct colour vinyl.
