Should have had Gayer rather than Gangsta! Those are 2 of the worst E30s ive seen! when i was 17 i probably would have loved them but with age comes wiseness and they are proper wrong! nice work lol

www.swapz.co.uk - like ebay with listings but you propose a swap for the item instead of bidding, brilliant site, actually it might have been on piston heads!

Yes it was piston heads!

Do you have the windows down in the freezing cold with the bass pumping to the max!!
Good to see another E30 is in loving hands and not on the scrap heap tho.I'm all up for individuality,but maybe a bit ott.Maybe you should have put Kevin and perry on the sun visor and drove it to ibiza!!!

do you know i was a moderator on another forum and im a member of another bmw website and people get banned for being as welcoming as some of you lot, thanks to all the guys that welcomed me to the forum, and maybe the guys with the balls can comment to me at a few of the shows next year, maybe i really dont want to be a member on here after all as you all seem to be so far up each others arses theres no room for me, i just think you seem to be scared of different cars as they get all the praise for the amount of work thats been done to them and everywhere they go they are admired unlike the standard 316i with rusty arches and dull paintwork with ripped seats and sagging headliners.

Hi Kev, nice modified cars - both of them... You have obviously spent a lot of time and effort to get them to where they are in the photographs, as long as you are pleased with the results then I think it's a job well done. Good work...

Don't be so deffensive kev,it's only a bit of banter.If your gonna do your beemer up like an Ali G ride,replace the traditional badge with a badge that says 'gangster', then post it on an enthusiasts website,your opening yourself up for a ribbing.Welcome to the Zone anyway.

Wellcome Kev, I agree with above nice modified motors. Most of the people on here are interested in E30s, and not just slagging someone off because they might have different tastes.

Shouldn't we be more pleased that another E30 has been saved from the crusher, even if the modifications aren't to everyones "tastes"?

As these vehicles get older, they can, as we all know, require quite a lot of time and effort to keep on the road, and this guy is putting in more than his fair share!

i aint the 1 crying am i ?
it looks like you are the lot that are crying because i have the balls to change the norm, i asked for your opinions yes thats true, but not to be slated i probably spend more time and money on my cars than you do with yours, but everything i do on my cars i do myself i havnt got a rich daddy or a healthy bank account to book my car into garages or dealers so what i do i am proud of as i did it all with my own hands, oh by the way my skin is very thick i dont give a fuck whether you like em or not who gives a shit(not me) i only made this into a row so you would actually talk to me because when i posted in the newby section only 2 people said welcome, thats great for the so called number 1 forum, so do your best slag away i love a good laugh , the best 1 will win a prize at the mo the kevin & perry 1 is winning.

It's not over the top, I've seen far worse, better to be on the road restored than me poking holes in them come MOT time seeing as the are made of the same metal as old Alfa Romeos. :D.

The Gangsta badge isn't my cup of tea mind you, but it's not my car, it's yours so screw what others think. Keep it on the road and up together, I'd much rather see that than most of the faceless heaps that are around now.
