So... Christmas day and i was bored as hell round the in laws. I was on the old smart phone and 9pm came along, my nephew how is 2 yo was grizzly as hell so i gave him my phone, he clicked on eBay and i happened to be looking at e30 BMW's, he only clicked 'Buy it now' on this car

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251764641725

so being a good chap i've bought the car, it does look like a bit of fun. The thing is my budget was a lot higher.....what should i buy for the car? The guy that is selling it is a BMW specialist garage and i tried to buy a Quaife LSD off him and he refused to sell me it as he did it was a waist of money. So £2k.....what shall i buy

Welcome to the Zone! Looks like quite a well sorted car, judging by the pics and description. I would run it for a bit as it is before deciding what you want to change...

However, I would want to add some wheel centre caps/badges.
