E30 Zone

The Garage 9.00 Monday discovery channel

There is a mint black E30 in Jock's Garage, its always there along with Ferrari's and Porshe's
The Program is now running into its second series and the E30 has been there from the beggining.

Does anyone know any more ??

Watch it al the time but never seen the e30 you've mentioned!

The only one I saw was when one of his employees e36's headgasket goes in an M40 or something so they take an M40 from a E30 but the sump won't clear the crossmember, a lot of faffing and bodging later and they succesfuly fit an engine older than the car, I've never seen a less powerfull older, higher mileage engine fitted to a car before.

Mtec1 sport on ugly 5 spoke wheels!
Thats all I know though

Seen it parked outside the garage once, doesn't look that clean!

Still an E30 mind.

ugly 5 spoke wheels!

Your right about those wheels.....heres some pics

Wheels are momo arrows I believe and the windows are blacked. Jocks a big BM fan. Wouldn't be surprised if it's his. It is always there and looks mint to me. Possibly a Tech 1 if you look closely.

yep seen it 2. love the program wouldnt mind going 2 marbella to see the garage for real

Must admit I do like that show.
"I'm a dickhead, I'm a dickhead, you might not like me, but I'm a dickhead.... with an M5 hahaha"

Funny.

The e30 is a pre 88, and at first I thought it was a convertible. Still not sure.

Is there any way to download the program?

Blitz, best bet is good ol youtube still. Unless someone else knows better.

Have always wondered about the black e30 could be glens (the little foreman fella or as stated more likely jocks. Had a good laugh about the guy with the 328i cab that thought it was an m3.

Could just be the picture, but the spoke look the wrong shape for arrows. They have a concave design. I had some on my council e34 a few years back.

they look a bit like them council wheels that maxfield's dad has on his m3

I was there last week, saw the car from outside and got chatting to Glen. Sound lad, He said he used to have an E30 cab. He was working on a Merc SL with an electric roof that was stuck, didn't want to hold him up. He didn't say what sort of E30 it was, that side of the garage was closed. Didn't want to go wandering around inside the garage either. (much as I would have liked to)

Jock was just leaving on his moped as I came along.

I like that show.

It doesn't look all 'that' from the last time I was out there...

It's an M-tech 1 sport, the sunstrip with 325i Sport written on it kind of gives it away!

i genuinely laughted at that

Just mailed them see what they come back with.

Just for you, I took some more photos this evening, Mrs is'nt happy though somthing about watching a farm in Skemersdale or summat.

Well, Jock has replied. He states:

"its mines trev, its a 325 sport with a 2.7 c2 alpina engine eqivelant. 1987, had it from new. Don' use it much. Jock "

So there you go.

Well Done B7, case closed. Good to know he's an E30 fan...

Get him to sign up to the Zone...

I have. And suggested a zone road trip to Marbella for a night on the lash with them? Might be something to think about in the spring?

Did you point out all the extra business he would get when (if) we all get there, because most of the e30's here would need a service by the time the got there! Can you imagine the show...... 10 E30's lined up to have an oil change.

Sounds so exciting

I know of a place to stay in Mabella

someone organise it... i would soo be up for that, plus he would get tons of business from me, my touring would be shagged by the time i got there... he's end up going back to the scrappy and pulling another engine out for me
