E30 Zone

Hi Guys,

I have just bought myself another E30 after being away from the cars for a year and half and i have to say its great to own one again. I used to be a regular reader (sometimes poster) until i sold my old 318is. Is it me or is the forum a little quieter these days? The for sale section seems alot quieter aswell, have you guys finally broken all the E30's?!

Anyway i look forward to contributing by asking lots of questions.

Welcome back

are you of the Heinz variety


welcome back

Ha im indeed Heinz. Thanks for the welcome.

Is it me though or does it seem quieter with less parts floating about than before or is it the time of year?

It probably is quieter, most parts seem to be on ebay now.

i've got plenty of parts in stock

Nobody sells on the zone because nobody buys anything

Welcome back! Any pics of your new E30?

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I'm sure I'll be on the hunt for some parts before long! I'll get some pictures before long it was owned by a zoner before under a private reg (d6***).

grey sport?

Dave maintained this car very well, a good buy!!!

haha yeah it a grey sportalike. everything seems rosy, it has some 24 year old car niggles but its to be expected.

I thought i recognized it from when i used to go on here. Anyone have any idea on value of the racing dynamics wheels? i want to go for 15" oem bbs really.

I've got set of those, absolutely love them - the shame is that no-one else does !

I value mine at £400 with caps and tyres but I'm sure no-one on here would pay that for them (recently powder coated, good boots and good centre caps).

Don't go losing a centre cap, the RD importers told me they're $100 each new, without badges and you can't buy original ones to fit.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but doesn anyone know if the old owner of my car still uses this forum and if so his username?

just have a few car related questions!

They keep coming back.....

His username is d6dph

Not seen him on here for a while. But he did look after the car very well, and it was probably 2 years ago when he sold it.

Cheers guys, thanks for the help.

It is my p&j at the moment, will have to try and keep it looking/working as good.... its filthy at the moment!

Sure there are more than a few who can awnser questions about this motor for you and keep you up to speed and help you keeps it as nice as it is.

welcome back bean, remember when you sold your white is ,is it still around ?

Thanks again.... I'm sure I'll rely on some parts, knowledge and help whilst I am here.

Polsta: i recognise your username as well, diamondschwartz is? My old white is was written off by the new owner after a few months driver was ok thankfully but car had an interface with a lamppost sideways.

Yes mate I did ! That's a shame ,sold my one last summer to a lad from Inverness, he posted once or twice on here then dissapeared,I wonder his the car is, I'd buy another is now if I could find the right one

Yeah i wouldnt mind another, my old one was lovely!

Hopefully yours doesnt meet the same end as my last one...

I'm still in contact with Dave, I can point him in this direction if it helps?

If you (or he!) wouldnt mind that would be appreciated. Just would like to know a tiny bit more about the car and previous work its had done etc. It all seems fine as it stands but due to weather/work i havnt had a chance to poke around it as much as i would like.

thanks
