Im swaping my E36 325i M3 replica for the E30...pictured below! Cant wait to be back behind an E30 once more. The car is located in Oxford....anybody recognise it? Looks like im getting a good deal!
Firstly I will take the eyebrows off......then the Chrome Grill will be back on......the smoked lenses will be replaced with standard ones and the alpina badge will be removed!
What do you think?

Car looks OK if you're getting it cheap Stu, you change cars more often than you're underwear?!

Yeah timbob.....posted some on there a few weeks back!
The E36 is a great car......in terms of refinement and reliability.....its up there with the best! But its something about the styling of the 325i Sport which I think is hard to beat!
I hate the sound of the M20 on tickover....in comparison to the M50.....but when the M20 gets above 3500rpm...it howls!!!

Looks like it needs a bit of tidying but pretty smart.
Nice wheels too!
