Dutch 320i cab, small update 28-1-14 M52 time :)

[Sjoerd320i]

I sold my red 4dr m50 a few weeks ago and purchased this last tuesday.
Well chuffed with it! really great car to drive with the top open.

It's a 90 320i manual. Only really big thing that I miss is the power but I will find a suitable replacement for the old trusty m20.

Looks really nice and I love the colour

I keep getting drawn to cab's, even though the weathers been pretty crap here.

Enjoy driving and hopefully you can get the roof down.

Thanks

It's Royal Blue, it had to be that colour as imho it suits the e30 cab very well.
Got a few plans with it, gathering the pieces for a 5 stud swap with e36 front end parts with costum bend e30 arms and a compact rear setup. Wheels will be e34 m5 turbines.

Allready had a few good miles with the top down

Have to agree with you about the colour mins the same. Yours looks very tidy indeed.

Nice car, I would have kept the calypso wrong door myself though.

You should buy that M20 2.8 for sale at the minute by goosiegander, bet you can get a van on a ferry to Lowestoft easy enough!

Sure looks nice..

A little update. Got my hands on a cheap 2.5 so chucked that in for the time being. Also fitted a 5 stud setup using an e36 318ti rear axle and e36 325i front hubs and a cheap coilover set on the front. Dont mind the wheels, they are tamporary as my style 20's didn't fit.

I have a nice refurbed 17" Alpina set to go on in a staggered 8/9J setup.

All the hard brakelines are replaced and the rubber ones replaced with braided ones. While I was working on that I also fitted an e34 double diafragme booster and 525i master cilinder. Will come in handy for future 24v plans

The front brakes will be upgraded to 325mm using e46 330i discs and callipers.

Some pictures...













Here a pic off the pina's before refurb.

Just a short update. 24v ftw!

This unit will be fitted in the nearby future. M52b28

Oh and a pic of how it looks with the alpinas.

Great looking cab you have there. Looking forward to getting mine on the road this spring.

What happened to the interior - it looked like black leather and now is cream, without rear headrest...?

[Sjoerd320i]

It was blue fabric in not to great condition when I bought it. Now replaced with new upholstered beige leathers.

I don't like the look of rear headrests on a cab so opted to leave them out when getting the interior re-done.

[Gert_8]

Got any pics of the interior, please? I must say, I prefer a cab with the rear headrests, otherwise it looks a bit like an old pram and if you have two people in the back they look a little silly. However, it's all about own preferences

[Sjoerd320i]

I'll get some pics up later.

There won't be any rear passengers, the 245's will rub
