So my Fiance has beaten me to E30 Ownership, Twice!

Her 1st E30 was a Cirrus blue 320i, decent wee car which she thought she would keep forever, until she heard about a Scwartz Black Sport for sale up the country, so we went for a look, and took the 320i up as a part exchange, which worked out really well.

here are a few pictures, who knows there may be some previous owners on here, both cars currently in Northern Ireland.

Hellooooo

nearly how it looks at the minute, since photo, Front bumper was painted, pillars blown in (wasn't a great job before) and got a machine polish.

Currently stripping the dash to replace it, and have the carpets and seats out also to freshen them up.

thanks for looking.

it was either these wheels or she considered shiny bbs reps or borbets, but with any of the other it would have to be lowered with ///M badges and a sunstrip, so i persuaded her to get these, and surprised her at Christmas past!

yes, nice to see a standard one in NI, thats another reason to keep it original!

Borbets would have been hideous!

Definitely the right choice!

Good call! The amount of effort people put into ruining a car is astonishing.

There are some lovely NI e30's but the 'Felt spec is still going strong, it's beyond me.

Are you looking one for yourself?!

Not so much pissing on the wuman's chips but sharing a hobby/love? I'm helping you break the news. winkeye


No, no. I sell nothing, it's becoming a problem. Before you buy, upload it on here. It would surprise you how many NI cars were owned/known by Zoners.

Could help you avoid a shed or confirm what you know!

Hollybrook's (Glenavy) is selling a e24 B9 Alpina which is a known "turd" for major money and it's apparently "under offer" now. :eek:

It was known by at least three guys on here.
