Hubble - your pictures are brilliant, what a beautiful car to have in that colour, she is a credit to you... where in the uk are you..?? are you part of BMW Car Club GB..??

I used T Cut all over & intensive tar remover, then used T Cut Colour Magic, followed by two coats of Autoglym Polish... still lots to do, ie wheel arches, door hinge areas & interior seats etc...

Im thinking the tyres are wrong on the front, I will check when I get home tonight...

Thanks for your help

Hi Ian,

What an excellent example. Your sport has clearly been well looked after, it stood out to me when I noticed it on ebay as being a good example.

This car has gone to the right home, garaged and properly looked after :cool:

Thanks for the parts earlier mate, something to fit this weekend.

Cheers Imys, I came so close to buying a Sierra Cosworth but Im just so glad I bought the E30... Im very fortunate that I have another car to use day in day out & the E30 sits in the garage awaiting a show or another coat of polish...

I dont know why, but its just such a pleasure to look after & the results after 15+ hours of cleaning since buying her have been well worthwhile...

Thank you, I really think she has concourse winning potential. Downloaded the BMW Car Club guidelines & she is still a way off but I am now cleaning door hinges, underside of bonnet/boot... Gonna take it to the Wessex Region Concourse & see how far off the car is, should get some useful feedback...
If anyone on here has concourse experience, I would be glad of any useful tips...
