Fair play mate, all nice and ready for a coating of Acid rain,
corrosive bearing winds, and a lovely dollop of harmful UV rays.
Though i would,nt hold your breathe on the latter.

Mon May 11, 2009 7:53 pm

well am bored now so here goes ,never had much luck with vehicles ..started with a200,000 miles volvo which i gave to an ex,then an international harvester in canada which ran like a tank but had to leave behind then a series of ldv,s starting with arotten sherpa then a convoy expost which nearly destroyed me financially just redid the head gasket etc after an incident with a flood when some old pilchard ran into the front while i was parked up righting it off which then led to a monumental insurance nightmare and few pennies to get another....now the next one threw me back out when the seat fell off on a corner leavin me with no income for 2 months and when finally well the clutch fell out!...this left me in the street goin all john cleese on it purlpe faced and grinding teeth when this angel appeared asked me what was up and then told me i could have her old touring for free!!! ran me eyes over it on a lift and it was spotless am now obsessed and overjoyed as have never driven anything so utterly beautiful before so much so i joined this group and after checkin over many posts etc feel quite at home ta

It's easy, do you use photobucket or imageshack?

On photobucket (if you use it), just copy and paste the [IMG] code on here

If you want a job done properly.... (and don't want to pay £300+)...

I'm the same when I get going on mine, white car + white polish dosen't help...

The worst part is the telephone wires that run above our drive, the car can be there for weeks when it's dirty and nothing... as soon as I put the cleaning stuff away.......

Nothing wrong with taking pride in your ride. Good on yer fella

Tue May 12, 2009 8:39 pm

I think I have seen these on late reg tourings before, worth trying your local BMW dealer for centre caps.
You might have to take one off but check for a part number on the rim and give them a call.

Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:35 pm

ooh, what colour is that?

Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:41 pm

Lagoon Green, probably my fav. E30 colour.
Have a long term project on the go, putting a M52B28 into one of those!

Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:49 pm

Brian, do you ever sell E30s? If you ever feel like letting a touring go to a good home.....

Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:51 pm

every E30 that brian has owned (apart from the the one that got hit by the flying porka) must be worth about £10k! i can't see there being a host of niggles and electrical problems on them....
