if you ask me that is one very tidy e30 & iirc it was in the readers rides section of pbmw mag a few years back.

i don't know about you lot but i wouldn't say no to having the key's to that.

true but in the right up he states that he has a 5 speed box & clutch to go in.

i have to admit it would be a hell of a lot better if it was a manual.

what's with the arm rest?

i've been thinking about one of those myself lol.

i've had a look round for one but can't find one for decent money (i:e not a stupid amount) so i'm thinking of making my own.

anybody got an idea how hard it would be?
or how much it would cost to make one?

lol i clocked it ages ago mate... as it happens i did post the same link when i was selling my acs kit ( still for sale, same kit as you see in the picture... might even break it if there is enough interest... a little punt :wink: )
a very nice motor... one i would give my left nut for... or if he drove a hard bargain i would chuck in my right one too!

nothing wrong with an armrest, just that one appears to be screwed in to the rear consul...very poor installation and just not in keeping with the car, at the very least i would have used black screws

I have actually seen that car in person at our big e30 show here in Washington State. It gets around 150 e30s each year in attendance. The guy obviously cares about his car a lot, so its good to know its in caring hands.

The autotragic transmission makes it a bummer though.
