Have wanted an E30 for about 6 years and finally got one! Thought I'd post a couple of pics. I LOVE her! :D
Am going to try and restore all that I can with original or replica parts.
Just paid £475 for a new roof. (which still works!)
Not that she needs much though.

I believe this is one of the youngest E30's around, at April 1993. Is that correct?

What do you guys think?

Yep certainly one of the last of the line, L - reg was the last year they did the cabby or so I believe.

Looking good!
Mines's March 1993, so yours is even younger.

Thanks Fella! I'm thinking about getting the same alloys but wider. Maybe 17". Not sure I can get them though...

I bought mine in the UK in november last year. First registered in the UK on 24/4/93 :D . 24,500 miles on it now ! Whats on yours ? I have to be honest and say I'm very happy with the 318i motor, I'm 46 and speed does nothing for me.

Mine was registered September 1992 (K-reg) and mines done 156,000 miles :eek: But still feels very tight and nice to drive.

You will struggle to get 17" versions of your original wheels. You would have to get custom made split rims (Mega expensive, but nice). See pic below.

Hmmm. Yeah I thought they might be mega expensive. Nevermind. Might just try and get my current ones reconditioned...that could work.
By the way mine has 127,000 on the clock.

And how is it that most other 318 cabbies have rear head rests....is mine supposed to? :?
