E30 Zone got a mention on the Autoalex v2 channel. Does anyone here recognise the car?

I loved the look on their faces when the bidding went up, 8O mind you I think it might have been the previous owner trying to get it back.

He is looking for another E30 so that will put prices up for a while :D

Hmm, multi-fit alpina reps, DTM backbox, gaffer tape around the sunroof, and that's just a cursory glance. No thanks.

Straight from the video
"...the first thing i noticed is has got a few questionable modifications...

And yes, the look on their faces = priceless

Alex did one of his first magazine write ups for The German Show (happy days gone by), he has a style of his own in both writing and presenting. Fundamentally a marmite guy, his street cred has not gone up after that vid.

He's just bought himself a 325i Touring, and so has his mate.

Two 325i Tourings? YouTube revenues must be good this month.

I totally agree Dan. My two penny worth is that a Coupe is a pillarless machine, a shell without a B pillar per se. I (not mine but whilst in car sales) used to drive the oldJags which were in my opinion Coupes ! The terminology of 2 door seems to bypass the masses !

I doubt they will ever restore these cars. It will be a couple of videos having a poke around, detailing some bs plans, and maybe bolt on some aftermarket parts. All for the views I'm afraid. Hopefully they prove me wrong.....

Much better off putting your time into videos from Spanner Rash, Driftworks, M539 etc

I've been banging this drum for years but it doesn't sink in! I guess coupe just sounds cool.

M539 is awesome. Autoalex is good brainless filler though.
