Focussing on springs... Any 4-cylinder springs will give the stated drop on any 4-cylinder E30 as the 4-pot engines are all the same weight (give or take a couple of kg). You shouldn't see springs advertised for 318/320/325 as the latter two have a heavier engine and will give a different drop. As K...

I've seen a couple of 2.5 cabs on K plates. I've seen two L-plated cabs in total, both 4 pots so you may well be right about the cat Simon (that's the possibility of a 2.5 conversion for me out the window then!?). IMO a standard late 2.5 cab with that mileage is worth well over £4k. What I noticed...

What drop do you have? Are the wheels 16s or 17s? Looks a good stance from side-on.

Kit is effort as it needs to be sourced, painted, have holes drilled in the doors for the side pods etc. I'd say not worth it really. iS front lip as you have, a pair of sideskirts (or even painted sills) and the bottom (black) part of the rear valance colour-coded white makes the car look less bare...

Sell the leather.

You only need it in a convertible when if you don't have it you look poor.

Cloth is generally a lot more comfortable and of course is much better at soaking up the sweat from your arsecrack on a hot day.

Leather takes a lot of maintenance to keep supple as well.

This may not help, but surely your sat nav can display your speed anyway?

It will display less than the speedo does as the speedo overreads, but it's accurate to within 1km/h I believe?

The 1.8 cab has a 4.27 diff meaning it's more than quick enough around town, though if you're using it for higher speed trips it'll start to annoy you, not least due to the fact the engine is at silly revs on the motorway (and economy also suffers). what utter rubbish... oh sorry I came over all 'Z...

Re: wheels

when BMW brought out the 318 iS 15" wheels were available ie the 325i sport and to fit these to he 318 iS would have been of next to no cost to BMW. In fact probably no cost at all as the contract with BBS was massive and the moulds were already there so again it was down to chassis engineers it do...

Who is "Jason in Walsall"?

I've heard this name pop up a few times as he's apparently a specialist in E30 electric hoods.

Anyone have any contact details? And if anyone's used him, what is his service like? It's a long drive considering the cab does about 50 miles a week :lol:
