Hello everyone,i have managed to get myself a pre facelift 1984 E30 323i in dolphin grey,manual box,cloth recaro interior,81,000 miles.

Needs a little TLC though,but should keep me busy for a while,want to bring it up to original standard.

Has been standing a while,i collect it hopefully in the next week.

I have had a few BM's in the past,my first being a 1988 316 carb model,in black,reg number-E415 LLO,anyone know of it?
Also had a E34 525i 24V in granite and more recently a E39 528i.

I have a Mondeo for work now :cry: and needed to satisfy my BMW urges! winkeye

I will post up pic's when i get her home.

Cheers for the warm welcome. :wink:

Lots of info on here.

I am hoping to collect the car sometime next week.the car has only 81k on the clock and has loads of history with it,it has only done 60 miles since last years MOT,which it had new pads,discs,brake pipes,viscous fan,new coolant,new brake fluid and new oil filter etc...
So shouldnt need anything engine wise.The owner also has 2 brand new BMW chrome bumpers still in there wrappers which he never fitted so will be fitting those.these are included with the car.

My plans are to get the bodywork up to scratch and then maybe a few little tweaks here and there.Body wise it needs a good clean and polish,the passenger wing has had a little knock so may fit a new one,or repair the damage,depending on the condition when i get it.

As soon as i have it in my hands i will post up some pics of it.

Cheers
Jamie :)
