E30 Zone

i picked this up at the weekend. 1500 quid was handed over and i left a very happy chappy. its a 325i.

its got -40mm kw suspension.

what do you lot think?









'rare' steering wheel...

after a quick clean and wax...


would this suggest an lsd too???...

looks a nice clean example, I think you got a good buy there

Nice grey battleship, I can imagine it emerging from the fog on a twisty mountain road.... mmmm, nice!

Good choice of a backdrop, too

looks good

think it may have the wrong exhaust on mind you looks like a single pipe 320i, all 2.5s should have twin pipes

it does indeed have a siugle pipe.

how do they differ? is the 2.0 pipe more restrictive?

i would imagine so, it may preform better with a 325i one

people fit 325i exhausts on 320i's to make them more lively so the 320i zaust must be restrictive

it could be a pattern exhaust but i would think that they would be the same as the originals

mate good buy, looks lovely, well done....Hope you enjoy it... take it there was no rust issues on it then, i too just bought myself near enough the same touring, its same colour, tech 2 kit, but black leather... will put some pics up soon now, just found my camera...

it has two areas of rust only. one is just under the boot lid where rust has started after people chipped the edge lifting stuff into the boot. the second is on the rear passenger sill, on the seam when someone seems to have chipped the pain and the rust has just started. its about 3mm by 10mm/ an easy job to sort both.

hubba hubba very nice lol

If i were ever to move to the dark side and buy a tourer i would want it to be like that!

Nothing like a sport looking touring

Where's the action pic's though...

Very nice mate!

Lovely Neil, a good touring by the looks of things. Single exit pipe? That's an early 320i system, like I have on mine. I prefer it to the twin exit. I reckon if you debadge the touring charvers in Novas will think its a four pot and will set their lip up to you!

Looks a nice one. Sort the pipe and its pefect as is really ain't it. Well done. good price too.

nice car looks like hubbles but a touring version......il buy that steering if you want to sell ata right price?

Looks bloody good for £1500 mate. I'd happily part with that for a car of that spec

You got a bargain there. The seats look in good nice, the front end immaculate. Nice one.

Very nice fella. Lachs silver right?

Like kami said. Looks like mine with a boot.

very nice for £1500

good find

i have had a look under the rear end.

the exhaust is a twin exit system, but one has been cut off as i am guessing it dont sit quite central so looks out of shape. but with the pipe cut off, it looks like a central single exit.

that would be my pride and joy also!

bin that 320 system it will be very restrictive for the engine and that cone sh!te airfilter unless you like the noise!

tech 2 rear spoiler to finish it off imo

I'd molest that badly if it were mine 50 profile tyres and slamming it to the ground full tint on headlamps,indicators and side repeaters and a hairy 2.7 in it with a lairy scorpion tail pipe out the back

That looks really nice!

Very nice and a bargain by the looks of it. I take it thats all been spec'ed from new, ie the kit, lsd, sports interior etc?

as far as i know, the gear knob and steering wheel were added at a later date, and the setas have been retrimmed.

been busy... added a strut brace and HID kit

Very smart!!!

a nice looking car for a decent price

very very nice

Great-looking touring

took a pic of the light pattern last night in the total darkness. i am very pleased with the beam pattern and i wold even say it is crisper now than before.

very pleased to see you got rid of the nasty k&n!! standard airbox all the way!

looking good

well, i have got rid of the HIDs and i am now running Osram Nightbreaker bulbs. they are whiter than standard but obviously not HID light, but i am happy with them.

i have taken the washer jets and motors off as the motors were not working and i have replaced the bezels with freshly painted black non wiper versions.

fitted brows today too. they need painting, but they are already matt black so they will do untill i get chace to paint them...

Why the reason for removing the HIDs? Nice car though

Thats a very nice Touring you have their Mr Lurch, i would leave those eyebrows black.
