Get the pics up mate and congratulations!

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

thanks guys, not sure how to do this but hopefully this will work :/ :/

[Ajsingh]

Mine looked exactly like that!!

Best colour n door combo!!!!

Well done!

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

ah thanks, i'm really pleased with it, took me about 3hours to get home and i didnt want to get out, it drove like a dream!

cant wait to drive to work tomorrow lol

[Kemix]

looks mint. good man!

[Felix79]

Looks a nice clean example.

I remember when I got my first 6 pot e30 , there is nothing better than the exhuast note on a 6 pot BMW engine.

Happy driving.

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

Yeh it is clean, my plan in the begining was a tech 2 kit lowered on alpina's

... but having seen how original it is i dont know if i want to now... some old lady had it for 14 years its got all the original books radio, tool kit, first aid kit everything, and the interior is immaculate, dont know if i want to mess about with it now...?

[bss325i]

Leave the tech 2 kit off of it and just fit an iS front lip spoiler.

Genuine Alpinas would be nice though.

[Kemix]

if it were mine i would lower it 60/40 and that would be pretty much it. tech2 kits do look good though, tough one! nice find

[Kemix]

oh and i would probably fit shadowline trim to

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

Yeh i'm definatly up for the shadowline trim, dont know where to get it though? any idea's?

and yes its definatly getting lowered 60 40 and i quite fancy sport or recaro black leather's too

[Kemix]

there is some shadowline in the parts section now mate, sport interior would look nice imo, how u finding the 2.5? iam doing a conversion on my 318i soon!

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

ah right cool, i'll take a look

my be a pay day thing though lol, spent out now haha

yeh its awesome, was effortless on the motorway, i had the cruise control on to was great. but its definatly thirsty

[Tommek]

It looks very good, clean and original. Best luck owning it. Good job

[Rav335uk]

Where's the 3rd door
Welcome BTW, looks nice,
2 door is it?

[Blitz]

Looks great. These some so right about a standard facelift 325i. Proper executive.

[HJG-E30]

Good find there mate, well done. Hope you don't have to post in the Technical Help section too much !

[aeberbach]

It's a beaut, congratulations. Looks very original too!

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

ah thanks guys appriciate that!

HJG-E30 - i been looking at you signature for a while now, i really like yours, my plan was to find one similar! is yours a 325i sport?

[godinman]

Very nice car man

[capri_rob]

Brings back memories - thats just like the best E30 I had a few years ago

[HJG-E30]

ah thanks guys appriciate that!

HJG-E30 - i been looking at you signature for a while now, i really like yours, my plan was to find one similar! is yours a 325i sport?

Yes mate it is. Found mine by complete chance, and the owner had no idea of the value of a sport - so it was a bargain

I've never seen another Dolphin Grey E30 on the road - it's great to see there's another one about now, and a v.nice one at that. Maybe i'll see you about seeing as your location is Cardiff and i'm currently in Swansea =)

[/// KAMI]

welcome to the zone nice car

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

Yeh i love the dolphin grey, always have, ah yeh definatly, i want to go to a few meets and stuff now

[Blue318i]

Very nice, welcome to the Zone.

[sh55123]

Looks so nice. Makes me want a 2 door. I too love the dolphin grey, and your car looks so original.

Not jealous at all! How many miles has she done?

[J_A_C_K_Y_D]

yeh it is totally original, i couldnt believe it when i saw it, its been garaged its whole life as well

done 130,000 miles, and its a 1990

[sh55123]

It does not look like it has done 130k-wow! Mine 'only' has 107k, and did not look like that before I got to work on it!!

Well done - great find. More pics would be great, especially of the interior.

[Duke137]
