1991 E30 318i Convertible 100% Original For Sale

It is with a huge degree of regret but I am having to sell my 1991 E30 convertible. I've recently accepted a job on Jersey and sadly while I cannot think of a better place to take a drive in my car, the cost/availability of storage or a garage means that my pride and joy needs to go. I've put the ca...

Re: Aftermarket aerial removal any ideas?

Thanks for your help. I have tried the nut at the top but the entire unit has either rusted into one unit or was indeed one originally. It appears the trickle on the inside is from whatever material was used to seal the unit in place. Thanks very much for the list of tools. I'll have a look and see ...

Dear All, Come across a small issue while trying to replace my car aerial. Long story short I am trying to take my E30 back to stock and remove and redress some of the decisions made over the past 30 years by previous owners. For a while I've not liked the aerial on my car which looks aftermarket an...

E30 Radio/Aerial Fitter Somerset, Wilts, Dorset?

I've owned my 1991 E30 for around a year but with lockdown etc. it's barely moved from my garage. With endless hours to kill over the past months I set about looking to source various parts for the light restoration the car needs. The car itself is 100% stock with the exception of a late 00s radio a...

Re: New E30 Owner - What to do first after I buy?

Thanks to everyone above. I cannot say how helpful all this advice is. I'll contact BMR in the new year and make arrangements. I've changed the oil; I should have mentioned that. Location wise I am down in Bruton (South Somerset) in answer to rix313 but would love an opportunity for anyone local to ...

Front Fender / Rocker Panel Rust Advice

Dear All, I have recently purchased a 1991 E30 convertible. Overall the car is in very good shape and appears to have been garaged and looked after for all of its life. My only area of concern body-wise is the driver side fender and down to the front rocker panel. It would appear that for at least a...

New E30 Owner - What to do first after I buy?

Dear E30 Zone, At the end of last summer, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a 1991 E30 318i manual convertible (102K miles). The car itself was a two-owner car from new (a doctor and I understand a lawyer) and while it has small signs of rust in one or two places I would guess it has been garag...
