E30 Zone

Took the camera to the MOT station with me with the intention of taking some underbody pics while it was on the ramp but forgot to take any in the end
Stopped off on the way home and took some but quality and location is shite so will take some better ones once its road legal.

That looks quality mate, I love the seats

I need some closer pics of the front,that lip has got me thinking again!

what is that lip?

Looks to be a volvo 740 lip, flipped downside up.

Looking good mate. So we can expect the south west meets to be re-ignited along with your e30 passion?

i see you have fitted the seat part
and your car is

Nathan,think we are getting a meet sorted for the end of the month,you up for it?

look alright I suppose

I do like a spoiler-less boot

You would never guess it was a cut and shut!


Looks great Tony

Looking good there Tony.

Looks great with the Alpina's.

Good guess Fleece.

Well done Tony, looks 'phat'

Thanks or the comments guys.
Still a long way to go with it yet....

fit new wings with no side repeaters
replace dented bonnet
replace scabby N/S door
replace rear valance
colour code the bumpers
and then paint.


Mechanically its pretty much sorted but ive used an M20 gearbox with the M50 and im really not happy with the fit although it does drive and feel nice so will be replacing with an M42 box soon.

I absolutely love that car. Love the smooth rear boot - no 3 series badge and no spoiler.

Side-repeater-delete will be a nice touch.

Needs wider wheels though,9in all round would look perfect IMO but ill see what happens.

Have you got a photo of a car on the wheels you're talking about?

looks nice eko when we seeing some under the bonnet pics

Credit to you mate...simple yet looks sophisticated only thing i would do is get rid of the orange on the rear lights all red would look ace but thats me......now come on show us the hamster under the hood

I've got horn!


That's a beaut!

The car is required to be fitted with side repeaters by law and would also fail a MOT without them due to the age of the car.

Unless the mirrors have built in side repeaters like the newer M3 after market mirrors you can buy, then it is still legal to remove the side repeaters from the wings.

LOVIN the rear end spoilerless, front lip is lovely addition

Side repeaters have already been moved to the front bumper in preperation for the new wings

Yes as it is post 1st April 1986 it must have side repeaters and hazards fitted.

NATDJ is right - they can be fitted into the mirror so long as they meet all the angles of view requirements. This seems to be the current fashion - Merc, BMW, VW, Skoda etc etc.

Bumper mounted side repeaters visible in this pic
