Great engine and hats off to the engineering that’s gone in to it but spoilt by how it looks, it’s up there with some of the worst looking E30's ever built

It’s even got a twin exhaust with red anodized tips FFS :roll:
i did say to the owner that the styling is not to my taste, but it is all pretty much functional

after he fitted the e36 grills he says that temps had reduced. the splitters/skirts etc are funtional

re the exhuast tips, thats a reflection

he has owned the car since it was new. he bought it in 1984 as a 320i and it was fully optioned

I'm with you on this one pac, its a terrible looking E30 seriously gash.

Under the bonnet is awesome but its been cancelled out by the fact it should be more of a sleeper not an abomination of molested grp and shiny bits....

Such a shame
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Sorry Kos but that e30 is the worst I've seen in some time, I thought this sort of look had dissapeared about 10years ago and it looked bad then.

No ones doubting the engineering carried out on the powertrain is impressive but please, not a single gram of taste.

nothing to be sorry about, as i said before its not to my taste but if some one is going to knock it, pick at it properly.

the grill and rear wing dont do it for me, the rest is fine imo.
