E30 Zone

With Chrissie fast approaching the inevitable question arises - what are you buying your E30 for Christmas this year?
For me - leccy windows

Some pressed german number plates, smoked front indicators and side repeaters and possibley an alarm

Sod all, it gets enough all year round.

A new m30 heart.

Some 3 in 1 oil for the heater fan, new dash bulbs all round, new front discs and pads, new hub cap emblems, new centre seat belt clip on the parcel shelf, a stereo and new aerial and a flashing LED for the alarm system so the local toe rags see that it does REALLY have an alarm fitted

Should be a good Xmas for my car really !

Exactly, the ungrateful fu**er just doesn't appreciate all the time and money I spend on it.

.. a mint glacier blue bonnet and sunroof, one of those cambelt service stickers and some nice underbonnet sound deadening Still looking for the glacier blue bits though

Im being serious....Im sure my car is Herbie!! Its had a bit of a misfire for the last 8 weeks on and off....most of the usual parts were already new so thought it was fuel......drove up to the local factors to get new plugs as a last ditch attempt and the second I paid for them and stuck them in the glovebox it stopped the silly games and hasnt missed since.

Keskin KT4s with some fresh rubbers ;)

a headgasket, cambelt change, annual and inspection service

and my e30 will give me a good long drive to scotland without crapping out on boxing day hopefully

New front footwells and a new battery tray for mine - loads of welding (thanks to Any at A-Tech!).

Would much rather spend the cash on something more exciting, but my feet were getting cold and wet, and it's MOT time

It's always worth it though. Whatever car I have, be it the old 2000 Touring or the 318is it will always cripple me financially. But it's worth it for the smile I get when everything works as it should. Oh, and I would sell a kidney to have your M3. It looks stunning!

I should be getting some goodies for Christmas which will be going on the car as soon as possible: strut brace, set of Philips Xtreme power headlight bulbs, stereo with AUX connection. After Christmas I'll be on the hunt for new wheels too: 14" BBS are just too small!

Some original mats that Ive bought from Spadge. Not sure whether to give them now or give it as a surprise in the garage on Xmas morning. Will make its smilies light up!

Alloy strut brace, stainless cat back exhaust, stainless extractors and stainless resonators or hotdogs. Might be also getting all the parts to build it a new motor too.

Spoiled bastard it is.
