E30 Zone

Hello,

New to this but as promised see below my new E30 - Which I am very pleased with... let me know what you think











Thanks for looking!!

Iain

Looks lovely

Could do with a drop at the front, sitting too high IMO

Very nice fella.

God I miss my white 2dr.

Thankyou...
I also think the wheels look too small but I want to leave her as standard as possible...

ImysE30 - are they 17" wheels on your cabriolet & have you done anything to the suspension..??

Iain

Are they 15" BBS?

Yes mine are 17", lowered 40mm all round

Iain,

I had 17" alpina reps fitted to mine with a 40/60mm drop. I loved it and the look but it's not to everyone's taste.

^^^^

Daryll... I love the look of your car that low on Alpina's, they certainly fill the arch better than standard BBS 15"...

I really like the 17" BBS Split rims but they only fit E30 M3's - is that correct...??

Yes, but many a zoner have gone about doing a 5 stud conversion. When I get another 2dr I will definitely do it so I can get the 17"'s under there.

Try to get an E30 M3 suspension set up if you can

It looks better standard, especially in that condition.

Very nice car Fantastic

Thanks for your kind comments
- she is completely standard except for the full stainless exhaust system which sounds amazing...

It looks pretty stunning as is.

What are the profile of the front tyres, they look slightly too small. Factory fit was 205/55r15.

Lovely car + its white

Very mint example you have there

It looks lovely

see i love my alpina reps on my red IS, but tried them on my white sport and just dont like it, prefer the standard bbs's on that one!

Looks awesome, nice to see a sport without the sagging front apron

It looks like you've got a nice shine on the difficult white paint.

Love the wheels & suspension setup Dan325iSport...
Some more pics

Look's lovley fella. Good find.

Looks a nice original Sport fella!

I want it

Looks immaculate! Please look after it and have fun in it!!

A real stunner.

Nice tidy looking sport there.

Great looking ride - these things are rare as rocking horse sh1t in these parts (or I'd have one!!!). I like the BBS 15s, I plan to get a set for the chromie but they are also hard to get here (and a lot to freight over).
Good work

Absoloutly beautiful car you have there graphics please leave it as it is tech 2 sports definately look best the way they left the factory there just totally flawless when there standard.

Any pics of the interior and wots the milage of the vehicle?

+ 1

White is the new black...
Lovely example you have there- look after it please!! I'd put 16" BBS split rims on it personally or at least 15" standard BBS but that is just my opinion and I'm welcome to it

WOW!!
Thankyou all very much for your kind coments..!! I have spent most of today & will be working again on the car tomorrow to make it even cleaner - interior pics to follow, she has done 90,000 miles & all but one of the service stamps are main dealer. I am owner no.7 & am planning to take her to as many events in 2009 as possible - can anyone recommend events to me...?? Love trackdays but wont be putting the E30 round!!

Thanks again
Iain

Looks like you have been infected by the "Sport bug" i'm afraid.

Well done mate!

I took mine out the lock-up yesterday for a bath...The thrill of a clean car makes my hair stand on end

after a further solid 8 hours of cleaning:

Is it just me or does the front end sit very high - or is this how she would of left the factroy..??
Your comments & suggestionsw ill be appreciatted...

Looks normal to me! As Jon previously said, it looks as though your front tyre profile is smaller than intended- this gives the impression of a higher front end (more gap between top of tyre and wheel arch curve)
The front kit looks about the correct height from the ground
Slightly lower wouldn't hurt though

Actually it does sit a little high at the front.
Could be as Suchy mentioned, a lower profile perhaps a '50' ??

Ive attached some pics of mine. Factory suspension. No mods
