E30 Zone

found it!

pics?

Bad luck

Hope you get it back alright.

croydon has become such a shithole. hope the ncuts burn.

sorry to hear that, used to live down that way years ago, hope you get it back

Was it took off your drive?didnt it have a alarm or imobilizer?

in the road. it was immobilised, had to have been lifted and towed.

Sorry to hear this

Not wanting to sound bad but if its been lifted then its no doubt hiding somewhere waiting to be stripped for its parts IMO.

Exactly, but that is why we all must be wary when being offered quality parts at dirt cheap prices.

I emplore you all to keep an eye out in your localities for these parts. they mey pop up in your local.

The police are useless in such scenarios, so we have to do the best we can with what weve got, which is the geographic spread of this forum, followed by our fists.

There was one stolen in Croydon no so long ago and was sticked on the zone.

Croydon seams to be going down hill since i last lived there.

Have to agree with you on that.

Thanks to the mods for making this thread a Sticky.

I'll keep my eyes peeled dude I work brixton/ southwark area fingers crossed

No probs, let us know how the search goes and we can take it down once its been found

thank you gents.

we also remain optomistic.

hope it turns up mate. I'm in Orpington/Bromley area so I'll keep my eyes open in case it comes around my way.

Fingers crossed mate.

Good luck with the search, hope it turns up

Andy

keep checking ebay......

seems like a hot spot these days

and sorry to hear whats happened, i hope its recovered unharmed

Sorry to hear about this! I live just round the corner from you and work on Brighton road. I have driven past this car many times on road test.

Croydon is turning into a shit hole, glad i'm moving away soon!

I will keep my ear to the ground as quite a few people know i'm into old BMW's so i might hear something through the grape vine.

Have the Police told you anything yet?

It really annoyes me when people steel what someone else has worked hard to get. I honestly hope you get it back mate.

thanks all - havent heard anything about it, but have put it on stolen vehicles search databases, so if its on the road, it may be spotted.

that sig is really good andy- it would be great to have that up too. Im not sure how to use it im afraid. thank you once again mate.

heres to hoping.

The E30 is easy to steal unfortunately, sorry to hear the bad news. I think a big yellow disclok should deter most theives, they're definitely not driving it away with one of those on there!

Mines only got an imobiliser on but when someone tried to pinch my Alpina last xmas they turned the key to the deadlock position and couldn't get in quick enough before the landlords dogs started barking.

....or started up by someone who knows an E30 well enough
Good luck getting it back in one piece.

Very sorry to read this thread, hope it comes back in 1 piece soon!

Only 1 things worse than people who steal private goods, its those who buy them.

got my eyes peeled fella!

dirty b@st@rds!

Diskloks are good but they can still be bypassed if not modified. You need to weld a thin metal bar on the inside (I can find details if needed) then you will not be able to get past it.

Also the Diskloks tend to wear the top part of the steering wheel so best to use a cloth over the wheel first and then the disklok.

Im over in Slough way and work in Feltham so if I do spot anything over here I will let you know although the chances of it getting that far are probably rare.

Gutted for you, eyes peeled in the hampshire area

That would be interesting, thanks

Im sure this is roaming my estate ill have a look

sorry to here this fella i also live in south croydon driven past it loads of times looked like a tasty car and all the other E30's around that road i will keep my eyes peeled makes me very wary of leaving mine at home when i am on night shift.
but mine is too loud not to get noticed and that alarm of mine will go off if you fart near it lol !!!!
i will have to stop for a chat as that M3 is well nice and the chromie is gorgeous too
regards
Ben
will be in a noisy e30 touring white with an A tech sticker on the tail gate you can't miss it LOL

Sorry to hear this. I'm in Selsdon, I'll keep an eye out for it.

it looks like you live on a quiet little road where the car wouldn't be seen by every man and his towtruck, maybe it's someone local.

keep your eyes peeled locally and your ears to the ground.

how long have you had it? last owner might still have the key.


good luck anyway
