E30 Zone

Here is my new 325 sport. i have owned it for 3 months now and ever since i got it, it has just sat in my garage waiting for a sunny day to come out!!

i am the third owner, and bought it from wales from an old bloke that owned it for 15 years. (he got upset when i drove it away)

the only thing i have done to it is put my no. plate onit. it originally is a H reg 1991, its done 90k with full genuine service history!

its all totally original except for the wheels which the old bloke thought was better than the 15" bbs's that came with the car! and gave me them too!!

it has original tool kit and first aid kit (unopened!!)

has full leather recaro seats
mtech ll steeringwheel
map light rear view mirror
black headlining
lsd

etc.etc.etc.

it has been garaged its whole life and you can tell this straight away, it is show room condition, the shell is absolutely RUST FREE!!

This is my new lil baby and will only come out on nice days and shows!!












NOW FOR THE BIT YOUR GOING TO HATE ME FOR!! IM GOING TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THIS..........



I know i am going to get aload of abuse from those zoners that love ORIGINALITY!! but eversince i was little i wanted an e30 looking like this! its going to be completey stripped out, i have a few bits so far..

sparco bucket seats with harnesses
full OMP roll cage
decals,




couldnt be bothered to get it all out the shed!! lol


am looking for coilovers and bbs rs alloys at the mo...
let me know what you think...


DONT WORRY, NOT PUTTING ANY DECALS ON THIS ANYMORE, KEEPING IT STANDARD AS IT IS, AS ITS TOO MINT TO SPOIL IT!!

You know theone in the picture is an M3 right?

Keep it looking like a sport dude. Nice car, love the number plate

It is a cool number plate, and im sure its worth a bit to someone on here. We were going to do our track can in that colour, but instead we have a diamond black tech 1 sport with a supercharger that will have to do!

You should really get a 325 se and do that to it rather than taking apart a perfectly good genuine sport.

That m3 is tempting though

i know i know, but it'll look better when its like the m3!

could always put it back together, as i will never sell her!! all it would need is a respray as im sure the decals would pull they paint off!

i bloody well hope so lol!! do u think im thick?

Each to their own and all that but surely when you have spent your money in transforming what looks like a lovely sport into an M3, you might as well have got an M3 instead!?

Have fun though!

I think I can hear that old dude crying from here!

I seriously don't get your posts sometimes. Are you making it look like an m3 in terms of arches or do you mean you are going to make only the paintjob look like the Warsteiner m3.

Although the wheels are brilliantly nasty, the rest of it looks quite good. Its about to be devalued though.

So your mates engine(s14), what is that going into then?

As a lover of the M-tech II Sport model, I'm begging you not to go ahead with your proposed project. Please buy a white 325i se with M-tech II kit and use that as a base...... Please!

no, leaving the bodywork just as it is, just having the same decals as the m3!

i bought it knowing i would do this to it and every1 of my mates has said get a 2.5 white shitter and do it on that,

maybe,

but just dont want to keep my sport in the garage for years not getin used hoping to gain value onit!! on the other hand i know i couldnt get another e30 as mint as this, which some old bloke has cherished for years.

the smashed up m3 i am hopefully collecting it this friday, as i said, but might just sell it as the profit i would make would buy me a supercharger etc. for my 318is.

Sacrilege...

an m3, u think im made of money? lol, that'll be at least 9k

whats the point if i bought this for half that!

pretty much every week for the last 12 weeks, i have recieved something in the post from the old man what hes found round the house.
some m.o.t's, spare of a spare key thob, keyrings, spare window elec mechanisms, spare bonnet and boot badges he took off scrappes, etc. he's a legend!!

OOHH, and i forgot, the old bloke is a retired electrian and liked to keep himself busy, he just fitted a clifford alarm onit and is vital in my eyes, got the engine start button the lot!!

hhmmmm, gold bbs rs's lol

this is what happens when BM's become really cheap and can be brought for peanuts.

If you are keeping the bodywork as is, it will never look like the car in the picture.

Have you seen a warsteiner themed normal 2 door? It looks rubbish.

Can't understand doing it to a car that could potentially be worth 5k+, when you could do it to a car that you can buy for less than 1k, and still have the same outcome.

This, I agree with.
If you're going to strip and bin bits, you might as well bin bits from a comfort cloth car, rather than chucking out a genuine sport interior. If you're going to replace the panels for M3 ones, you could even get something which has been vandalised, it wouldn't matter since it's all coming off anyway.

When lads purchase fags or drink there are strict guidelines as to who is allowed to buy them.
I wish there were similar rules for 325i sports.

Could be worse,it could be an Alpina,Hartge or M3.

all it needs is a set of bbs'...........

pmsl buy an M3 and stop dreaming

Well yes i bet it was not cheap buying that car mate and you want to fuck it up i think your brain dead really

Guys Guys Guys, give the guy break!!!!!

If you read the whole thread he has come to his senses!

I am off to paint my wheels pink and fit a bee sting aerial to my shiny mint roof!!

its only putin a few decals on it which could be pulled off at any time! the worst resulting in a respray and my old man use to be a car sprayer, so thats sorted...
pulling out the interior which could be put back in at any time!! roll cage un-bolts,
no potential damage to the car!
No matter what i do, it aint going to do more than 500 miles a year or even get wet!

its always going to be mint!! my car, my life, chill out, its a car!

What £4500 for a good sport is cheap are you mad?

I think you made the right choice there mate. I started readin the thread and thought you git! - I was considerin doin the exact same paint job on mine but doubt it's going to happen. I don't think anyone would moan if I did though cos it's a bit of a chav'd up sh1tter to most! lol.

Doing that to urs would be wrong!!! It's a very nice motor as it is.

cheers e30gheko,
