E30 Zone

seen a couple of E30's kicking about locally and it reminded me of this place, locally as in back in sunny Scotland...not melbourne but ive no idea how to change that....its looking a bit slicker than the last time I was on.....

Welcome back Fuzzy, nah, you missed nothing

A lot has changed, the obvious one being the Zone has had a complete revamp ( viewtopic.php?f=1&t=277025 ) We also have a lot of new members, there are still few old skool members on here but most live on the Zone Facebook page these days.

Been bitten by the bug again yet?

welcome back fuzzy,

Welcome home to the very clean and mature E-30 zone.

G-day mate, what happened to your touring in the end?

broke it up and sold it all on....Cosworth engine and box ended up in London.

my other recent old cars.....A210 evolution with AMG pack and 2.1 litre engine......great car that handled like a gokart…..and my 3 litre turbo diesel with AMG pack , 4 pot Brembo etc and 270bhp....

I do love a C63, one of my favourite sounding cars, my mate had one for just under a year, he brought it to Oulton Park and did £500 worth of fuel and killed his brakes and tyres

an average of 16mpg is harsh ….stretched my budget to buy one but been looking at them for a couple of years.....glad I bought it I just hope nothing breaks....
had it up to 23.4mpg on a motorway cruise at 80mph /1500rpm.....almost economical....

My 540i long term average is 15.4MPG and ive covered 120,000 miles at that, the V8 soundtrack is worth it

I drive with the radio off just to hear the engine even clearer....I was always a turbo guy but now im a convert of big cc V8 naturally aspirated engines....power at any revs and any speed,,,,,
