air sus for the e30 is not highly available in the uk. i am also in the uk and have air ride cars before. most air'd e30s are in the usa.

the problem with airing an e30 is the front struts being one piece/including the hubs (the same as getting a good set of coilovers)

the best way to get air is to find a set of 'aerosport' 'bag over coil' front bags to use on standard front legs (with modified lower spring plates)

search around google for aired e30s there are a few usa build threads out there
