E30 Purchase! WooHoo! Now with a sneek peek!

[Joe-318i]

that looks nice , get those other pics up soon

[Joshy]

She should make a fine first car (if you've got the insurance sorted!).

How much did she set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Also, what's the rot situation like?

[E30Gheko]

Well done mate. I'm very pleased for you! I can almost remember the excitment I felt when I got my first car.... Great feeling isn't it? I bet u can't wait til it's on ur drive!

[Ollie_bwoii]

Its got absolutely nothing, pure Poverty spec I think! Will know when I pick it up!

I may make a few upgrades if and when I can afford them and it has no other issues that need sorting!

Its got a few rust patches on the valances, arches and sills but thats it really! I will be sorting them as much as I can though!

I will have insurance sorted when I start driving! Not a bad price either!

Paid --- for the car, which is a bit much, but I don't mind!

And yep its a great feeling! Coolest thing I think i'll have ever owned!

Sunroofs are for plebs, aircon is the way

Disagree

Ideally both, but on a lovely summer day, windows down, sunroof open, hearing the sound of the engine as you are nailing some country roads....;)

[Ollie_bwoii]

I have too say I love the sunroof open on my Dad's 190E! It's only a 2.0 but sounds awesome!

But the non-sunroof thing might make this chromie more saleable if I ever sell it!

Either way - BMW as first car = WIN.

Bloody ,ell Ollie, even Spadge keeps them longer than that.

I'm keeping this as long as I can!






Well until I can afford to run a 325i!

[Alex]

No sunroof = less rust and a "stiffer" better handling shell

[josh-hocking]

looks good well done - deffo drop it -40 though and refurb them bottletops to finish it off (not that theres anything wrong with them - it just finishes a car of a treat)

great first car - im jealous as have till april till i drive

[Ollie_bwoii]

I would LIKE to do alot of things but I don't earn enough money!

Thats not too long Josh, it'll come eventually! I'm glad I waited to get a car as i originally wanted a Mini! Glad I got the E30 instead!

[The_Diddler]

[Blitz]

Well done Ollie_bwoii. I'm jealous of your car looks lovely.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks Blitz! It is cool, but then you have your cabby which is even cooler!

[E30Gheko]

Like the new avatar Ollie! Have you got a new motor then?

[Ollie_bwoii]

I will collect it within a week or so! Its just difficult at the moment because I have exams and my parents work, and its quite a long way to go and collect it!

[E30Gheko]

Where are u pickin it up from?

[M3Jim]

Sunroofs are for plebs, aircon is the way

MMM which one sucks horsey power???

Sunroof is the way

Loving the e30 as a first car, very

[Ollie_bwoii]

Where are u pickin it up from?

Stapleton near Tonbridge! 2 hour drive from me, But don't know the miles because the trip is broken in the 190E!

[Alex]

smoked indicators on the front and clear on the side

[madaboutthe30]

Happy for you Ollie, Im a purist like you, I like to keep things original if they are rare.

Hope you look after it well which Im sure you will!

I know the feeling right now, cant wait to see it again, Ive been in your shoes a couple of times in the past. The drive back home will be one of the most memorable drives of your life

[Ollie_bwoii]

Thanks! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I will keep it original! And well looked after!

Alex, No orange ftw! I actually really don't like chromies with anything other than orange indicators!

And If I was to do anything to it, which I can't because I can't afford it, I would quite like a beige comfort leather interior! Already have a Tech1 wheel!

[Blitz]

Thanks Blitz! It is cool, but then you have your cabby which is even cooler! cool

Its my mums though.

A lot has been done on it. Nearly £800 worth of work done for MOT, 15" BBS wheels bought, Hopefully picking up a new hood as well.

[E30Gheko]

omg someone who likes biege comfort leather!!


Yeah OK it would suit that car.

[Alex]

so your not going to fit a cd player, and cut a hole in the rear quarter for an ariel or wire all the wireing in

[Blitz]

Looks classy.

[Ollie_bwoii]

We have a CD Player out of our old 190, that I will probably fit, not sure what its like though! ANd would love a chrome electric arial!

[Alex]

i would have a mint comfort leather over a tatty sport interior anyday

all the best with it though ollie i bet you cannot wait

[E30Gheko]

Ditch the chrome bumpers and fit a rieger kit....

[Ollie_bwoii]

Ditch the chrome bumpers and fit a rieger kit....

Never EVER!

[E30Gheko]

Personally I'd prefer a threadbare cloth interior to any comfort leather! But hey that's just me.
