Hi,

You guys no what is an acceptable engine mileage on old E30? What sort of mileage have yours done?

Looking for a very cheep non-road legal track car...

Does my sig show? Any ideas on how to get it the right size and without the label at the bottom?

Cheers

Mileage isnt important, as long as its been looked after 1/2 competently 200k is no issue

try this without the spaces

Hey there,

Yeah your sig does show, you can resize the image in Paint or something then resave it. To host pictures I use

www.imageshack.us - quite good and you dont get the nasty banner at the bottom.

Acceptable Mileage!? Well that depends.. as many people would say Id rather have a car thats done 150K with FSH rather than a car that's done 50K with a sketchy history. E30's need to be driven, otherwise they dont go as they should. I have FSH and Im on 98K at the moment, just rolled over today infact! Hope that helps!

212800 miles with plenty of oil changes tells me the Bavarian honey pot is one robust piece of kit! :cool:
