Just wanting to know, have seen a few E30s about and given the peeps a wave but no responses as of yet haha, look out for me I own a Lachs Silver 316 Reg: F36BJL! Would be nice to get to know some people from the area who are into their E30s as much as me :)

wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, am looking to do a weber carb conversion on mine to get rid of the original pierburg which is crap and causes stalling when starting from cold due to the automatic choke being knackered, i need a carb with the kickdown linkage because its an auto, any ideas where i can get one from?!?

Try formula 1 on Hollingdean Road. I know they can get rebuild kits and a weber stockist.

Brighton here, although my E30 is off the road. You'll see me mincing about in E36 328i gayness.

Someone drove past me the other day through Southwick Tunnel in a red 318i/318iS.

Is your motor black? Was it Thursday at about 17:30ish.

If so it be me!

328i's are not gay!

Yup! Sounds bang on!

I saw a red car in my mirror a long way back and thought "hmm, E30, let's get out of the way" haha! I was trying to keep the MPG as high as I could get it. :mad:

No, but E36s are more gay than E30s. :P
