E30 Zone

pulling her out of storage a few weeks ago.





not looking too bad without a wash

Gave her a wash satuday evening when it was cool.



At a vw car show sunday , you can really see the carbon bonnet now



I also met a fellow zoner e30dave while i was there.

And one last shot , had to pick up some shopping , so i parked right over in the corner furthest away from all the shitboxes people call cars these days



cheers
andy

pics are a little small but if you click on them they go bigger

Andy that is a lovely lookng car.

Love those wheels

Stunning, what wheels are those

imy correct me if i'm wrong but they look a hell of a lot like borbet b's.

i may be wrong but who knows.

I'm pretty sure they are not Borbet B's, look like 17" as well

don't know then lol.

we'll just have to wait for the OP to reply & let us know.

They look like the splitties you could get for the 8 and 5 series(E39).

These wheels normally come on the 8 series i think look nice on the E30's

mmmm very nice sport there, those wheels must be 5 stud right?

its had an s50 b32 e36 m3 engine, and is a beast of a car! 5 stud conversion when e30 m3 parts were easier to come by.

Along with Ian Haynes's conversion, this was one of the first that worked.

If you remember - I was converting my diamond black sport with an s50 also. It stagnated after buying a m3, but needs to be finished.

All the Best Andy - glad to hear it only sees good weather. Got any more pics?

It certainly is

lovely motor fella!

Cheers guys.
Yes its 3.2 ltr m3 powered and goes like stink , i love it.
The wheels are indeed bbs RC , or style 5's as bmw call them.They came off an 8 series.
Sorry the pictures are crap, they looked a lot better before i uploaded them.

About time you pulled this out of hibernation mate

You'll have to run through to York one weekend and take me out for a spin in it as I've never been in a S powered E30, only seen the rear view of yours down the 1/4 mile

Here are some pics I took from that day at York Dragway, June '07

i reckon.....

CAR OF THE MONTH!

Hi lee,
She's been back on the road since the begining of may.I've been down at the strip the last 2 meetings.Cliff ran his m3 last time.
Cool pics lee,it brings back good memories.
Can't believe i finished the conversion two years ago now.

Andy, I can't believe you left this weapon alone for so long! It's such an awesome car.

thanks dave.i used it the first summer then the plan was to stash her away for winter but i got busy with my other cars and before i knew it another year had passed

As said already! Awesome car! Wheels need a polish
