Hello mates, my name is Jorge and i'm from Lisbon - Portugal, and i'm a huge fan of E30´s, my 1st e30 was a 1990 316i Edition 4door, but i trade it for a Calibra 4x4 :o: a few months late, i liked so much that bimmer than i bought a 1988 316 coupe but that coupe don´t have any power at all so at the past month i bought a 1992 316i touring with the front crashed but not much and 100% rust free :D
Now i´m repairing the touring to put in mint condition :wink:
Here some photos:

My first 316i:

My coupe 316 carburator:
When i bought:

Later with "is" look:

And my actual E30, a 316i touring with aircon, abs, 4 electric windows, electric sunroof, power-steering and some more toys:

Here it is at the day than i pick up (November 22th):
