Re: STOLEN: E30 318is H759 TRM from Reading Berkshire

I'm not too far away from Reading, will keep an eye out. Hope it gets found quickly.
Definitely contact the police to try and get some CCTV footage from the surrounding areas.

Did it have a steering lock/alarm when parked up?

Re: 2 door 325i manual chromie

Thanks for the replies.
I'm planning on going down again this weekend to have a proper look around the car to find out the extent of rust and make a final decision on whether it'll be a project I will be able to handle given that I've already got an E30!

Will report back :D

Re: 2 door 325i manual chromie

That's what I'm also thinking, a decent respray would be around 3k I'd imagine. What are 2 door manual 325i chromies worth anyway, with say 3 owners and 120k miles? Are there many of them about?

Hi, I've recently been presented with an opportunity to buy a chromie in need of some TLC and I'm looking for a bit of advice/info with regards to values. The car in question is a 3 owner 1986 chromie in Bronzit Beige, a 2 door 325i in manual. It looks fairly well specced with pop-outs and 15"bbs. I...

Re: New to the BMW game

My first E30 was a 318i and I absolutely loved the car and would have kept it for the long haul had it not ended up being rear ended. Although it was a lowly 4 door automatic which is probably the worst spec around, it was a good base to start on and it never gave me any trouble during the 2 years I...

I can't see it ever slowing down. Its not just e30s its any "good" pre 90 car. Agreed. Nothing can continue to infinitely increase without any sign of slowing in growth.

You're right, dampers do fade when they overheat, but that's dependent on the type of damper in question. The shear modulus of a spring decreases with an increase in temperature.
