Celebs and E30s

[ah]

Apart from the likes of JK,and a very minor celeb Kim Wild who's 325i is still around, is there anymore celebs who have owned or even owning E30s in any shape or form?

Brian Harvey from East 17 owned a Reiger cab, which has since been further transformed by Bootyman.

Here are some early pics of it

It's now packing a twin turbo setup and is a stunning car to see in the flesh

Ian McShane (Lovejoy) used to have a red 325i four door, and I know that cos he lived not too far from my folks a few years back.

Have a read through the first page...

Obviously the word of the day back then was 'phat'... Ahahaha.

Adam Faith had a 325i convertible that was undergoing resto with Auto-mac.

[Gert_8]

Just had a look at the link..... TV screens in the rear headrests? WTF?

[BEERBOY123]

Barry Chuckle allegedly had a 325i Touring but I have to admit my sourcing for this 'fact' is not 100% reliable.

Shame it wasn't used in the TV programme instead of their gay Flintstones/Noddy wagon.

To you, to me.

[mabz]

christopher biggins had a 92 318i mauritious blue cab with light check cloth,tom jones had a chromie white 325i cab also oh dear

[grantfk10]

The bloke who's likely to win X craptor this year (Matt/Mark Somethingorother) allegedly has an iS.

[BEERBOY123]

Ralph McTell (Streets of London, Tickle on the Tum fame) had an early 323i in brown metallic, which I'm sure he used to drive around the streets of London (and for all I know Tickle Town too).

[bss325i]

The coronation street actor who played Des Barnes back in the early '90's had a lachs silver tech 2 325i sport which was once owner by a zoner called e36_boy.

[e21Jason]

Mike Smith the radio 1 DJ from the eighties used to race an e30 m3 in the BTCC as a privater, the car currently getting an LS1 transplant.

Andrew Ridgeley ex wham also had a go a racing e30 m3's (as well as F3 for a season) but i think he wrote the cars off.

I shit you not, we have a guy at work who used to be a roadie for the Chuckle Brothers.

I'm going to ask him when I see him.

[TPS]

I believe you, I just find it funny Imagining the chuckle brothers, driving around in a touring!

[BEERBOY123]

Peter Duncan (Blue Peter porn star and latter day Boy Scout) had a 316 (90bhp early thing) that he bought from Sarah Greene when he first went to Blue Peter. She apparently used the extra dough to move upmarket to a 944 S2 Porsche, which was featured bizzarely enough in Porsche World a couple of years back.

Bob Carolgees had a late model 325i two door, and Roger de Courcey (Nookie the bear) at one time had a Baur.

[BEERBOY123]

My other half has just reminded me that Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys had a 325i too, West End Girls era. I kid you not.

hmmmm, adds fuel to the fire of 325 Vs 318iS drivers!

[BEERBOY123]

Sorry, that's Roger de Courcey had a 'Bear', not a 'Baur'.

[suchy]

Sorry, that Roger de Courcey had a 'Bear', not a 'Baur'.

Nasty bloke Roger is/was!! I punched him on stage when I was a kid

[BEERBOY123]

Yes, by all accounts he is a bit of a tosser. And true I swear, he started off as a blue act, and Nookie was originally called Bo11ocks the Bear.

[BEERBOY123]

Hunter from (original) Gladiators had a 316i Lux but changed to a Saab Viggen when he hit the 'big time'.

[BEERBOY123]

Michael Corrigan (Irish chef bloke, looks like the crazy fella from Father Ted who wears the 'I shot JR' T-shirt "It's all me own money Father, just can't be bothered filling in all the forms" etc.).

Well, he drives a faded red 316 so there!

[BEERBOY123]

Oh yes, nearly forgot, Rob Newman (Mary Whitehouse Experience, 'that's you that is' and so on) used to have a 316i Lux Touring but part-exchanged it for a Bristol Brigand (so would I).

He then went all eco and whatever and rides a bloody bike now.

[BEERBOY123]

John Culshaw (the crap impressionist whose only good one is the bald burglar fella from the One Show, passable John Craven) once had a 525e as in the old thing with the 2.7 and the auto gearbox.

Then the burglar fella from the One Show nicked it off him and used it to rob houses with; the extra torque useful for moving swag uphill to his lair.

[BEERBOY123]

Madhur Jaffery, or however you spell that, the Asian lady cook, used to have '92 735i L (not an E30 I know) that was chauffeur driven by her cousin, who was on the payroll type thing.

She gave it to her son in the end, as a first car, but he bloody well totalled it - hit a trolley bay in Waitrose in reverse. Stoved in the rear end very badly.

To be fair it was a bit big for a first car.

[BEERBOY123]

Kate Humble (Springwatch/Autumnwatch depending on the time of year) would like an 318is and actually viewed one at Old Colonel Cars a while back but it had a few scuffs and a tear in the headlining so she walked away.

I don't blame her, she ain't poor and she can wait for the right one.

[BEERBOY123]

Henry VIII, big fat King of England type fella, used to have an M3 convertible as a sunny day runaround, but then he ditched it after he'd killed old Anne Boleyn, or however you spell her name, because he thought it was bad karma to tool about in it after she was gone (I think he used to dog her in it, and that's how Elizabeth I came about).

He traded it in for some sort of gold carriage thing with heraldry type rubbish on the doors.

[bennydotc]

Saw a video last week of Chris Waddle during his mullet days, and I'm pretty sure he was getting his sports kit out of an e30.

[BEERBOY123]

That's correct, he had an E30, prior to that he had an E21, but when he worked in the sausage factory he had a banger.

[beemerbird]

Weak. Very weak.

[e30-ryaner]

jim carey owns one, has had it in a few films aswell

[sunnyr83]

Didn't Arsenal ledgend Tony Adams have an e30? Or was it a 7 series? I know it was red.

[grantfk10]

ouch! massive sig pic, Sunny.
