What E30's do YOU own?

[SUMPCRACKER]

You wont find a PI with injection, but a 2500s is always an option.

[andyclient]

1988 M3 pretty much standard really

[Bob_S]

one of each.., 316, 318is, 320 with m52, 325i sport - to be molested and an m3

[StuBeeDoo]

You wont find a PI with injection, but a 2500s is always an option.

Eh?? All PIs had injection. The 2500s had twin Stromberg carbs.

[oakey]

I've got my tech1 and that's the only car I own now.
Tempted to get another 325i strip it and superdupercharge it with the rotrex I have in my bedroom actually fuk it...... I will.

I think he meant I wouldn't find a PI for similar money to the other cars I mentioned - probably right! I'd be prepared to spend more on a pukka classic i reckon - every chance it might appreciate, so it ain't money down the toilet. I might start a thread on this in pub talk to save spamming this one up!

[hennabm]

Just the two - the 323 I have had for 22+years and the 320i bought 2 1/2 years ago for £70.

[Rav335uk]

Always liked your car Rav, but what's goin on with the gearknob? Isn't it horribly cold on yer mits?

No mate, g/knobs ok, never too cold TBH.

Rav, always loved the car. How did you do the grills in the bonnet?

Personnaly, I'd get rid of that chrom gear knob...
Colour code your spoiler.
Get some deep dish wheels. Genuine aplinas are nice.... but yours deserves some dish. Borbet b's if you could find some would be perfect

Bonnet was done by "Cool Louvres" down by Bournmouth, spoiler is colourcoded, and no way, Alpinas are staying, the ?Deep dish BBS's are for the E21

[Rav335uk]

I reckon Rav took those pictures where he works at the garden center, as that's where he grows his favourite pansies!

Close Dan, but alas no.
Those were taken at a guys place who's a BMW specialists .He used to "Race" Bmw's back in the day, 2002's E21 with the bodykits, single seaters, etc..etc...
He's been servicing my cars since 1991.
Next time i'm there i'll take some pics of the cars he's still got, plus some of the parts still hanging around.

[da4x4turbo]

Black 325i Sport.

Serious work done to it... Huge Plans afoot !







Then This.... I don't know what the f**k I was thinking!

[Rav335uk]

Oh shit, you bought it, i saw that advertised on the E30owners site.
Needs tidying from that i read.
What BBS's are you running on the black sport???Da4x4turbo??

[ImysE30]

^^^ How much did you pay for the beast?

Just the cabby below for me

[Joe-318i]

just the two for me

daily- J-reg 316i tourer, not much planed for this, maybe when iv got the money ill lower it, and finaly get round to fitting the side-skirts





and the project, 1987 M10 D-reg chromie. works finaly started as some of you know, may be slow but its finaly moving at last cant wait till this 1s back on the road

when i first got it



and now

[da4x4turbo]

Hey Rav, I'm running BBS RS's. They're only 7J though with ET25. On 205/40s

So I got it hugely wrong....

I'm going widening the rears to 9j and I'm Widening the fronts to 8J. Then I'll change the tires to 205/45's on the front and and 215/45s on the rear. Maybe 225's on the rear. Should look much better then.

They look lost in the arches at the moment. and they're 16" with a 35mm drop !

[Rav335uk]

Nope , they look ok, coul do with a bit more of a drop, but dependant on what the roads are like round there.
I thought they were RS's, but thought they were 15"s

[sweep]

A pre facelift 320i and a facelift 325i.

[da4x4turbo]

Nope , they look ok,

Yeah that's the problem... They only look ok! BBS RS's look AWESOME when they're done right. So I won't be happy till they're perfect!

I'm aiming for a replica of this car, but with a bit less width on the wheels. So I need to get my centres painted silver too.

(Oh but without the eyebrows and the E36 M3 Mirrors!)



I've just bought smoked Hellas for the front of it and a set of MHW's for the rear. It's a never ending cycle!!!

Also, In Ireland. 40mm is the absolute most you can lower an e30. Otherwise you'll break the sump repeatedly.

[Rav335uk]

That looks apart from the mirrors

[ross_jsy]

my 1991 325i sport track/hillclimb shlaaagg



and just bought a mk1 golf with a gti engine a couple hours ago to use as my daily

[johnl320]

D reg 316, in the beginning

And a 318is that was jon_bmw's on here

[kieran325]

Ive got 3 E30's -

My Sport -







Ive owned my Sport for 15 years, I got it when I was 18

My very tidy and trusty 316 touring -





It is now wearing a nice set of 15"BBS alloys and has now has RHR

My latest purchase 318i Convertible -







Ive not had much time with the convertible due to the weather

It may be up for sale soon due to me not being comfortable driving it, I'm 6'6" and the seat doesn't go back far enough for me

[E30Gheko]

Not to mention the E46 u git.

[spook]

Two turds for me


Daily beast, the best car ive ever owned,

[kieran325]

Not to mention the E46 u git.

I know I'm thinking about an E60 535d at the minute, keep the E46 for the gf and treat myself to a black specced up 535d Sport

[Ollie_bwoii]

Just the 316 for me!

[E30Gheko]

Not to mention the E46 u git.

I know I'm thinking about an E60 535d at the minute, keep the E46 for the gf and treat myself to a black specced up 535d Sport

U have far too much cash! Fair play though. I'm stuck with all my snotters for the forseeable! Lookin forward to getting the M30 finished though but enjoying the build too!

[kieran325]

I've got no children yet, hence the love affair with cars, but the gf wants kids next year

I started on the railway at an early age and worked hard to get where I am now, I bought my house when I was 20 and spent years doing it up, it's time to enjoy myself now before the gf screws it up.

[bss325i]

Then This.... I don't know what the f**k I was thinking!

This car cost the original owner serious money to build! Something silly like 50 grand back in the 80's!

Ask Pacerpete, he knows the car well.

[Rav335uk]

Isn't that a Koenig Kit on it??

[George]

Only owned one (previous E36s...)

1986, E30 325i, Alpine White.

Totally original and it's likely to stay that way.

[baur320]

These are the only pics Ive got of my two together





84 Baur with a 2.7 and 88 325 touring. Baur's been off the road for 2 years now, I've really got to get my finger out...
