E30 Zone

just bought one of these, E30 325ix, 2.5 4WD, E Reg with private plates (included in sale), red, 52000 miles from new, 7 previous owners, hartge 16'' alloys, full stainless exhaust system, spotless interior, little bits of rust bubbling around the wings but nowhere else, small hole near accelerator pedal in floor (easy fix), no MOT and no tax, runs smooth. GRIPS VERY WELL


now guess how much i bought it for

Looking at that scuttle £300?

its only dirty lol

I'd say £1300

You was robbed.

You should just about be able to cover the cost (£7.50) of putting some standard mirrors back on her by serving those "things" up on ebay

That car has mold growing on it!!!

Can't see you paying more than £300 (if that) for a moldy car with no tax or mot!

any more pics of the car???

Going of the pic, I would say £300 because the 'for sale' advert is in the window still, was it up for £600 ?

Looks like it was found abandoned, in a forest...

Hopefully should look presentable when cleaned up.
Must say I would love to get my hands on it a give it a full detail.

If you paid more than £300 you was mugged innit

Who's the dickhead with their head jammed in the rear spoiler?

Badly faded red iX with no TnT, Chavved with mirrors and M3 spoiler. I think you're going to have to sell those Hartges judging by the way the front sticks out beyond the arch.
Did you actually get to test drive it? I hope the front wheels are still driven.
If you got it for £300 then well done you have a fun (and long) project ahead of you

PS, how much for the wheels?

i would say £300 just because it looks in a bad state

the cars not in a bad state at all, its all preserved under the moss, no rot on the skuttle ect, no dents just the usual on the front arches (only slight) 52k genuine miles damd wish i hadnt missed it

Yes, because moss preserves metal doesnt it

Nah, its not like moss is full of water or anything, nah, water doesnt cause oxidation does it!

Sorry but another bloody poll is getting stupid. Why is everyone doing polls about everything?

Clean the IX then put photographs up and then maybe people will be impressed more.

Is it f*ck!

im going for 300... thats going to need a bit more than a polish to bring that paint back. thats not an ix spoiler on the boot.




i know where the honey in the picture resides too...

I went to click the £2.50 option but it wasn't there!

Barry you crack me up!:)

Sorry to threadjack,

Why did BMW make a 4wd e30? Was it for motorsport or farmers?

for countries with snow and what not... there is a good advert for one on youtube.

1. the guys head is my mate
2. already mentioned where the rust is
3. it is moss. its been cleaned. and it seems to have preseved it believe it or not
4. yep for snowy countries, even got a ski holder in the back
5. its been converted to RHD instead of LHD
6. i test drove it and it gripped like glue round corners
7. you guys have no faith
8. it looks damn clean just from washing it, will have it polished in the new year along with new coil pack and wing and a bit of plating underneath
9. i love initial_g
10. it was £300

questions answered, and if you still dont like it wait til next year and ill show you all what its made of

FAIL

9. i love initial_g

get some bloody photos up then! If its clean. Then it may look more like a bargain!

nah, ill keep you all waiting its more exciting that way, heres a few just before i cleaned it in the daylight though... and whats with the 'FAIL' post? stupid thing to say really isnt it as it doesnt make any sense?

Quite, the wheels alone are probably worth what you paid. Good luck with the restoration

thankyou very much, probs wont sell the wheels i fancy restoring it and running it, and i could sell it for more than what i paid right now if i wanted to as its only done 52000 genuine mileage with LOADS of history. cant really complain lol

Yep, certainly looks like the sort of car that should come up a treat with some elbow grease. Nice to have such low mileage too. Any idea why it got left unused for so long?

clean and polish and then post up loads of pics. if it cleans up well and is rust free then you have done well. does look chavy with E36 M3 mirrors and that wing.

BTW is it RHD? I thought these only came in LHD?

Has it got power steering?

Serious oxidization. Judging by those pics it's going to need machine polishing to get that paintwork gleaming again.

yeah, its been converted to RHD, it has power steering aswell it was standing for a year as the guy who owned it was working in germany and used to come back at weekends, but he's now living in germany and left his wife and kids in england so he said she can sell the car to pay for court costs. oh and yes all 4 drive shafts work in 4WD
