^^^^^ beat you to it

I'll start it off:

E30 320i SE 4 door in white...
No log book, nor tax or MOT!
Headgasket had gone.
Hardly any rust.
Interior was clean.
Broke the bonnet handle within 30 seconds of owning it lol!

£50

AND...having an E30 given to you or you being paid to take an E30 doesn't count!

Well I thought I'd be the first to post on my thread...

The first was a green on green 316 c reg,
The second was the touring i'm in now. Although in o/e form.

And the 2 tone tech 2 origanly I paid 50 notes. most of the kit was missing, the interior was fubar'd and the dash was wrecked. But it did sport some o/e alpina wheel's a couple of months mot and the engine was good.

Well the gutting thing was that ALL the Hartge's were buckled!

But i managed to claw back the money by breaking it.

The funny thing was, i sold the beige comfort leather for £100, tidy but in need of a clean to someone on here (no names mentioned) and he cleaned it up and tried to knock it out for £300 the joker!

I didn't see it sell from the two ad's at different times he had on here!

£110 ....

WITH!

7 Months MOT

No tax

Full BMW service history!

2 minor dents but passed every MOT since with my friend's sister owning it...

Now living on the Isle of Man

but frowns upon the p!sstaker

I baught a 87 316 facelift 6 months tax & test lady owned for 14 years 10 of wich was in france very clean at the time £100 still got it now

ive had a few for free but been told they dont count.. so cheapest one was a red 320 4 door i bought it as a non runner 4 month tax and 10 month mot full tank of petrol sport cloth and a kenwood cd player and horrible aftermarket 17" alloys... bought it for £30 boy even sat the tow in it to get it to my house.. put a fresh battery on it by passed the imobiliser and it fired up stuck a set of 15" bbs on it and sold the 17" for £100 on ebay

Got a fairly mint 316i with a weeks mot and tax for 40 notes a couple of years ago. The front wing were gone at the bottom and the floor plugs at the back were scunnered but rest was sound. It is now sitting stripped out waiting on the right engine to turn up and it's getting a roll cage over the winter. No rust anywhere else which was fairly tempting for a re shell for my 325i as i had most of floor and back arches lying on the work shop floor in the form of rust at the time

My old 325 "betty" cost me £250 and a 5 year old laptop, ran it for about 9 months and moved it on for a small profit



My touring cost me £130, but probably got the wrong side of a grand in it now

£150 for a 1983 318i chromie but it was far too rotten to save, the floor was none existant and it was like a swimming pool insude after a bit of rain

got another chromie for 350 quid which was sound and immaculate could have done with the arches tidying up tho

best bargin tho is my IS for £500 quid Best condition e30 i have owned

Bought a 318iS for £80, saw it sat for ages so left a note on it and the guy rang me back! Also got given an E21 316, wish i never sold it as it was completely rust free just needed a few bits tidying up!

Could do with another find sometime soon

My 1st E30 , £300 years MOt and tax. 2 door 318i with bottle tops in Alpine White. I did 20,000 miles in it. Failed the next MOT so gave it to a mechanic and he stripped it out and reaced it for a year or so.

My 320i was about £600.

first e30 was a 320 4 door in royal blue metallic, 3 months mot and 1 months tax. £215
Current car was 316 lux H plate, 11 months mot no tax £230
Don't ask me how much I've spent on them though!

316i coupe 1990 in alpine white had a couple of body work issues (after a fight with a corsa). £130

1990 320i SE 4 door Auto. Minor electical problems (back passenger side window doesn't work, sunroof jammed, and the electrics have a mind of their own, maybe first ever AI made...well done BMW) it had 2 little rust holes under the windscreen/bonnet. 54k genuine on the clock, 14" BBS and pretty much perfect nick, very clean...

£500. Good buy for me.

The first E30 I owned was a very early 318 (on a Y plate) that was £50 with tax and test but with a dodgy rad and a duff dizzy.

Fixed, used for a bit, then passed on to a friend for cost...

My 325 cost £750 with 12mths MoT, but no tax, around 4 years ago...known history and high spec

My M3 cost £3900 with 8mths MoT, no tax also about 4 years ago...It isn't (and wasn't) perfect, but is largely rot-free and has a fairly meagre mileage...Belonged to a customer of my (BMW mechanic) mate.

Bought the 320 Touring from an acquaintance who was having issues selling it for £210 without any tax or test and a flat battery...spent £200 ish on a tyre, clutch slave cylinder and a few niggly bits and it has just passed it's second test with me...Only needed a brake pipe and a headlight adjuster to do so...This is probably the best (cheap) bargain of the E30s as there is virtually no rust on the car

bought a 318 is, immaculate for £125 locally, needed a diff, had that done, MOTed it and sold her on

£150 318i alpine white , non runner , came with 15" black steel's, driver seat ripped nad dirty as hell

The 320i 4 door that now houses my 2.7 cost me £185 via ebay,just do not tell the wife what I have spent since folly cost me £150,M50 engine surounded by scruffy E34 £350,once again do not even hint to 'er indoors the cost so far

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

Bought for £50 after spending 4 years in a barn. A bit of TLC and some mild spanner work for it's MOT - served on Ebay for £560

my old option meister £250 £50 get through the MOT 10 months trouble free motoring until someone wrote it off for me

325iSE auto 4dr with LSD,BBS,m-tech suspension,heated sports seats,cruise,A/C, rear blind 10CD changer heated door locks,mirrors and washer jets, 13 OBC and more! It fragged rather well. I'd still be cruising around in that!

325i auto touring also for £200 that had a years ticket too

I got the white 318i 2 door free, paid 150 for the red 2 door 318i, 220 for the grey 316M10, 350 for the black 325i touring, 800 for the black 320se 2 door and 450 for the red 4 door 318, 100 for the current 325i 4 door without mot. 100 for the red 320 touring.

My first was an M10 facelift bought for 20 quid,cost about £70 to get through MOT.
2nd was a 316i that cost £100 off Ebay with 8 months MOT and bit of Tax.
3rd was Mtec1 kitted 318i complete with 16" Hartges for £166 with 10 months MOT.
4th was a 318is that I swapped for the 318i above minus the Hartges.
5th was 320iSE chromie bought from the zone for £600 then converted to M50.
6th Vulcan Grey 316i also bought from on here for £400.
7th is the one in my sig.316 non sunroof bought for its rotfree shell for £330.
