Sold my lovely 320i to a close friend. He drove it once to see what E30's are like (previous E36 owner). He loved it. Admitedly its one of the best driving E30's Ive ever come accross.

Sold it because 2 doors was getting impractical with 2 kids + I miss having a 2.5.

Going to look at a black Touring 2.5 this afternoon. Hopefuly its nice.

If anyone has black leather recaro interior for a Touring tell me know!

I'll be putting up my other black 325i Touring up for sale soon, when i get it MoT'd and Taxed. Not quite as tidy as the one you sold me, but it's the smoothest running E30 i've heard and pulls so well. No leather though.

What interior has the black touring got at the moment, I assume fabric but colour?

The engine was surprisingly torquey for a 320i, probably due to the 325i TB upgrade and chip. One of the best E30's Ive come accross. A very good friend of mine basically nagged me to sell it to him so its still within my sight.

The Touring I bought is actualy very nice, clean car. Shame about the interior though!

Still hunting some leather down or some super clean cloth with recaro front seats which again need to be super clean.

I think I might be going turbo in the near future with this but not before I get my M5 resprayed.


Finding Touring very very handy indeed!

They are great but can be a pain if you want to put big things in the boot as you cant get them past the lights :evil:

haha......everything isnt about profit! I didnt make anything on the 320i as I put tyres on it and done other bits and pieces like a brand new exhaust. I broke even though which was good.

Interior........must be recaro!! HAve you got leather?
