E30 Zone

Going to look at an insurance friendly E30 316i on saturday morning, so looking to see what can be made of them styling/performance wise!

So, go for it, lets see some pictures of you guys' 316i's

Cheers

Well standard 316 looks alot like a standard 318/320/325.

Obviously aprt from rear discs, twin exsuast etc.

Have you looked at members E30's then gone on 316i?

Anyway heres some pics of my 318i, bought it totally standard.

Styling wise, you can polish them and they look



Or you can paint the bumper and put eyebrows on it to make it look a bit meaner (like it needs help in looking mean):



2nd pic was taken after someone knocked into it while it was parked on the road and gave the offside brow that lovely misaligned look and took the paint off my bumper......didn't get any pics before that happened......bastards!

Wassup.
I have a 316i E30 and bloody proud of it....I will be looking for an upraded engine 1s ins allows me too.....

Check what i have done to mine already...I also have a is spoiler to go on this monday cumming and next will be the engine.

honestently 325i's and them are fast yes but there are a long list that would kill them in a race...the thing is you can not get a car that looks better than a E30.

I got mine looking right......then in the future i will have her moving right too.

good luck with this 316i that you're viewing. check the usual rot points - sills, rear arches, underneath the front screen sides and rear valance in particular.

i managed to get my 316i featured in total bmw!!!! so don't let the engine size hold you back. also down some local back roads i took and left behind a 325 e46 weekend before last - engine power is good but driver skill and road knowledge counts for a whole load too.

see 'my minter' on page 1 of the photo gallery for details of mine.

Raz...feeling ur car.......Looks kool.
How low did u go with the springs?

Couldnt tell ya im afraid, the springs werent in the best of condition. (The near side rear actually broke this week....) Originally I think they were 60's but I am now having 40's put on.

Nice car raz. I am liking this section, as i am buying a black 2 dr in a few weeks, and its nice to see otherpeople s before hand!

Paul

Raz, love that car dude, has to be fav 316!

These pics are now out of date.. there has been a couple more changes since they were taken... but still not finished the 5stud!! Altho the rear arms are at a dealership having new bushes pressed in atm

nice car Jhonno but... why do you have different wheels??

Think its 5 stud conversion only done at fronts so far could be wrong not read a progress thread etc

I've got different wheels too at the mo too

I know guys!! but now you've ruined it
çan't you remember from the last trhead about his car that everybody was nagging aboout the different wheels??? and he went all

I was hoping for such a reaction again

D'oh!

There's nothing wrong with having different wheels anyway

Whoops lol, works best on people who have lost there center caps on there alpinas heh, or if richy, steal his alpina caps he goes nuts!

it depends if there is a good reson to have different wheels

Is bending the lock for your locking wheel nuts a good reason?

yes i think so bugger m8

I have been given the advice to just hammer the nut into the lock though, so will give that a try when I get the car back.........apparently on Monday!

hope you can get it sorted mate

Cheers

If not I'll just drive round with odd wheels.........can't see 'em from the inside so I don't care

small chisell and hammer zayyan they shouldnt be on too tight and should be off in seconds mate

dazleeds wrote:they shouldnt be on too tight

Believe me they are, I made sure of it

Though I'm still counting on the hammer method to work

backward drillbit then with a reverse action drill that will get the bugger out

If I can't get it out with the hammer method I'll just call the AA I think
