This car cost the original owner serious money to build! Something silly like 50 grand back in the 80's!

Ask Pacerpete, he knows the car well.
Yeah I'd well believe it. It has some serious Hartge Morsels on it.

I don't know what to do with it now though, I'm thinking I might just throw in an M20B25 to get it going, or possibly an M42 due to the Irish tax and insurance problems.

It's much further down the road though, for now getting the S50 into the sport is top priority. :D

@rav, yeah I think it's koenig alright.

Oh and does anyone have anyidea where I'd get some 345/35 R15 Tires ? 8O :eek: :eek: :eek:
Anyone who knows of an S50 B32/B30 E30 for sale, please let me know.

Ha Ha, that's actually what I heard too. Apparently the only ones that'll fit are off a Lamborghini Countach ! 8O

There's Pirelli Cinturato's on there at the moment I think. :D

Hey Alex, I can recomment the "Aeroflat" wiper blades that you can get on eBay for less than a tenner.

They're a VAST improvement over the standard items and have no steel on them so no rust issues in the future. :D

Not far short Stuart, hit those dogs on August Bank Hol 2007 and it was rarely used until the MOT failure a couple of months later. Our lass was at work the other day and got her eye on it. She's not against me spending money, but she can't see the point of spending money you're not going to get back. I've tried to explain that money doesn't come into it but she's not convinced......

My daily driver, a 325i touring.

Owned since 2004, bought as a stop gap when the head cracked on my first 325i sport, and still got the damn thing. Still overfuelling, drinks water, but it just won't give up..

Image


H27 based on a 1989 325i sport. Owned for 2 years, been off the road for 6 years.

Long term project, that will take as long as it takes. Read more about it in the gallery section.
