E30 Zone

I was also at that TBMW shoot on the 25th, so heres a few pics of the torque-laden beast that is my daily drive - I bet those at the mag won't have enough taste to recognise its shining beauty resplendant in metallic poo brown ('The colour Steve McQueen would have chosen for an e30'), so here are some big pics for you all to savour.

Brace yourself.









And the money shot

Looooooooooooooooooooking goooooooooooooooooooood

Those who sport a similar cut of anorak to myself will notice the OE BMW tailpipe trims. Yes, I did polish them specially.

While I'm at it, here are some more shots of the beast

lovely moredoor nice and factory

Your still trying to convince the masses with the Steve McQueen line i see! i'm sure he'd have gone with just the 2 doors though

That is one beautiful moredoor, i personally love the colour and would love that car in my moredoor collection if i had half a chance, which i wont of course as this has keeper written all over it

And some with its stablemates




Perhaps I should get a 2 door and a baur to complete the set?

Surely 4 doors is enough for any man?

Bllody hell, 12 BBS wheels to keep clean , you must get tho some cotton buds....................

your collection is pretty good but leave it at that

the 2 doors left on this planet are all rotten and baurs are factory butchered landfill

Very nice collection you have

Your other half and your neighbours must love you

Nope, I just never brake, thereby preventing the soiling! I've been considering a change to front drums for safety reasons...

I actually found bottletops more of a PITA to keep clean, I couldn't get anything betwen the spokes and the dish to get the shit off.

+1! Although they are not factory.

^ Paintbrush my friend! Paintbrush!^^^^

Makes cleaning bbs a piece of pish!

Nice original car djk

Very nice. I even like the unpainted bumpers.

moredoors are now really starting to come about again NICE

Are you starting a new thing with the sigs e30s and there owners

Yes, its a good idea, when you go to a meet, everyone knows who everone one is

yeah i can see that now..nice 1 Rav

Is that standard ride height djk?

Blitz wrote:Is that standard ride height djk?

Yup. I don't go in for lowering, although the moredoor is a bit roly poly. I've been thinking about replicating the m-tec setup with its minimal drop and adding touring arbs at the same time. The car's a keeper though, so I'm in no hurry to do anything, and the ride is exceptional - plus the dampers on it aren't all that old I don't think, without the file to hand.

Maybe one day it'll get a 2.7 and 325 suspension front and rear to compliment it.

The future is bright - the future is moredoor.

Very nice motors you have fella nice pics to

Funny you should mention that, I prefer them aux naturelles too - more old school. They're actually a bit streaky from the black polish stuff I used, but it doesn't really show up in the pics.

Now I now what 15" BBS' s look like with standard ride height. 14" and standard height looks a 4x4.

Nice looking moredoor,i havent been here that long but even i have noticed that the moredoors are getting more publicity.

Maybe people are realising that they are not that bad,after all it is an E30.

Looking forward to my moredoor getting its shiny new paintwork over the winter.

Waste of momey

Looks retro cool, nice

Nice collection mate.

looks gorgeous mate...keep it that way

Looks beautiful.

Can't beat the standard tailpipes. I just fitted a genuine Eber...something or other BMW back box. Thought I had it wrong at first as the tailpipes are pretty much level with the rear bumper! but the quality is 1st class and it makes a lovely noise.
