Welcome to the Zone JJ

I've also found the Zone to be as good an experience as owning/driving the car. It's all down to the people at the end of the day

I'm useless on specs of anything other than 325, someone will be along shortly who is in the know...

[E30BeemerLad]

wheels look like 14" tsw stealth

[SwirlyE30]

Looks nice mate.

On that reg, it should have the M40 1.8 engine. Which does about 115bhp i think. Not a bad car, i have one, but with 2 less doors!

Although its certainly nowhere as quick as a sport. But i love driving it eeither way!

I recon that would look hot dropped 60/40, with some nice alpina 16's!

Nice and subtle

[iamjj]

yeah i was gonna start having a look around for some new springs to drop it about 40mm.

i quite like the wheels, but if they look rubbish once its been lowered they will go.

thanks for the replies guys

very nice car mate

a lot of you m40 boys have very smart rides!

just keep it that way

nice one

[StuBeeDoo]

Yep, gotta agree - looking sharp there JJ! There's something cool about the 4-door shell. Maybe it's because it looks a bit like a 5 series that hasn't grown up yet.
Is it Gloss Black, or Diamond Black Metallic?
Stuart.

dont know which black it is, cant find the sticker

[iamjj]

just thought id add that i found this little beast for sale in a layby in clacton, it hadnt been driven for months so i gave Ԛ£270 for her. got her to my friends garage and up on the ramp, turns out it had a new full exhaust on there and was well straight, had to grind a tiny bit of rust on front doors and fill but nothing major. also had to sort the power steering out, it was leaking but she flew the MOT after that.

Its done just over 100k miles..... thinking about using her as my everyday car now...love it

i thought it was a bargain anyway

(if anyone has cloth front seats and is in essex give me a shout, little rips in both)

[320Touring]

dont know which black it is, cant find the sticker

the colour sticker should be stuck on one of the suspension turrets under the bonnet

[iamjj]

yeah looked there couldnt see it, (hope my mechanic didnt remove it or something, he must have the paint code as he sprayed the doors)
