Hi all.
Im new to the e30 zone.
I would just like to introduce myself.
my names Brandon im 27 and i have just got myself a 325i convertible and im loving it. I have always liked them ever since i was i kid. I recently sold my old car which was a subaru impreza. I was with out a car for a little while as i was just using my work van to get about it. But then i decided with the spare cash i had from my scoob i would try n get myself a 325 cab and so i did..

Welcome Brandon to the zone and to the 325i Convertible. What do you think of her?

I've had mine since 1998 and I wouldn't change her for anything.

She runs like an angel and she looks like one too!!

I'm keeping mine as straight as she more or less came from the factory, except for the change in the lipspoiler, rear headrests and Hartge wheels.

Any pics of her yet?

May you have plenty of hours of fun on the zone and many, many more in the cab.

Im loving it so far. its in royal blue with mtec2 kit and 17inch alpina reps With beige leather and jus had new black hood fitted last week. its a 1987 but it came with private plate. the body work and paint work is mint but the leather could do with a refurb. But im sure i will get round to doing that as i want this to be mint. I will try and post pics very soon.

Welcome brandon, have you got any pictures of your car ?

Just out of interest how did you hear of the E30Zone? I didn't find it until I had my car for a few years. Would be interesting to see how new members found it.

Welcome mate. Pretty car. I had my cab for 5 years. I think I'll always regret selling it until I can buy another one in a few years time!!

Where in Dorset was it?

I know Ferndown. Spent a couple of times there when visiting Bournemouth and surrounding areas. Nice place. A little bit quiet for someone that lives just outside of London :winkeye:
