I nearly bought an Evo II a few years ago. Instead I spent the money on an E46 330 convertible. I recently sold the convertible for a lot less . . . . If only I had bought the E30.

Yeah I noticed when I bought my plate that the ADZ ones seemed a lot more expensive than they used to be. Maybe they aren't so easily available nowadays.

That's great, cheers. I'll have a look when I get 5 mins. Yeah I'm sure it'll take more than just a clay kit 2 get the paintwork really good again, after all, it does have 24 years of worth of exposure to the elements!

Cheers for the tip, sounds like a good idea.

Furry muff. Just have to use a bit of savvy then.

Just been looking at those Bilthamber ones you mentioned, they're a lot cheaper than I expected. I shall take your advice and give it a try. Not sure whether soft or medium would be best for my paintwork though. It's Alpine White.

Can the other kits do damage then?

Ok cheers. I'll google it and have a butchers.

Think I might just have to give it a go then. Can anybody recommenf the best one to try?

Are these clay kits really any good? And how do they work?

Gorgeous car. . . . . And I wouldn't mind that plate either!

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking, but what size wheels and tyres are these? I was thinking about fitting something similar to my four door. Also did you need to modify the arches at all and how much is it lowered by?

Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks.

Love this car!! I'm soooo jealous!! Love the M3 too. A selection we'd all be proud of.

Tried it now and it works. Cheers.

My E30 with the bonnet open during a bit of tinkering.

Nice one, thanks for your prompt replies. I shall give it a go.

The 320i may only have similar performance to a 318i, however it does have that gorgeous, smooth 6 cylinder engine, and in my book that counts for a lot! Good luck with your restoration/mods, i'm sure you will find this site invaluable. I am also a newbie to this site, however i have owned a few mor...

Hi guys,

Sorry for being thick, (i'm a bit of an amateur with this) but can anybody tell me how to upload photos onto here? There is a box with 'Img' on it which i assume is what you need to use to upload a pic but wen you click it all that comes up is [img]. I'm a bit confused!

Thanks. :S

Am I right in thinking the M52B28 is the E36 328i lump? That sounds tempting.

I would like to build my own car ideally as I can build it to my exact specification, but thanks.

Hi and Merry Christmas everyone, I am thinking of purchasing a second E30, however this time I am looking for one to use as a fast road / track day car. I think I have found the base vehicle, however I am unsure of what would be the best engine conversion. I like the idea of a 3.5 litre turbo, as I ...

Jdmfanboy and bemer-land, both fantastic pics. In the end I had to vote for jdmfanboy, but was a difficult choice. Very atmospheric pic.

That's great, cheers. I shall have a look when i get home from work.

Hi, my friend is about to lower his E30 2-dr 325i by either 40mm or 60mm. He has recently fitted a set of 17" Alpina replicas with 205/40's on the front and 215/40's on the rear. Does anybody know if 40mm or 60mm lowering springs will fit without the requirement for any modifications to the wheelarc...

That's great, thank you. It's not for my car, it's for my friend so i shall pass on the info.

Hi, does anybody know of a good place to have a set of blue leather E30 seats reconnolised/refurbished? Preferably in the Kent area. Also does anybody have a rough idea of the cost? Thanks

That looks pretty good to me. Thanks for the pics. I think i may have to invest in some. I agree, i would much rather treat it periodically rather than painting it.

Has anybody tried the Gtechniq C4 stuff for plastic renovation? I have read it's supposed to be good, but i'd be interested to hear real peoples opinions.

That's brilliant, thanks for the reply.

Hi, does anybody know if i can fit a Scorpion exhaust from an E30 325i Touring straight onto an E30 325i 3-dr? Thanks

Yeah Ad from Beadles mate. Yeah it's only a 320 but it's only covered a genuine 52k so I couldn't really let it pass me by. Gonna keep this one standard though as it is completely original.

You managed to replace yours yet?
