New pics of my 1990 318IS

[pac1982]

Not really had chance to get my E30 clean with this shitty weather weve been having but the snow and rain seem to have held out for hte last few days so thought i would take the chance to get the E30 looking sweet again and take a few snaps.

Since I’ve had the car I’ve fitted a new low mile engine some new front wings, pop out rear windows and a alpine motorized screen in the dash.

The most recent additions are the smoked rear lights, side repeaters and front indicators, also just fitted some pressed German style number plates and BMW number plate surrounds and painted my chrome grill in black

Any ways heres the pics enjoy.......................

Its a little council, But the main thing thats is really annoying me about your car, and it ruins the look your going for is the colour coded sills. Just get some satin black on them at least.

Still does look quite clean.

Did your car have parking sensors fitted to the rear bumper when it was up for sale? I think I remember seeing it. Looking good.

Yeah it did nasty little silver things on the rear bumper, looks a hell of a lot better than it did when i first got it this is what it looked like before some TLC, the pics from the old ebay advert................

That interior is a bit Michael Knight.

I may still fit tech 2 front and rear bumpers and fit he tech 1 skirts that i have sitting in the garage

that would look so wrong

i'd consider using the tech 2 lower front with stock front bumber works well and is subtle, if you can find a rear valnce that would tie the back in nicely as would the SE skirts, and tech 1 rear or standard rear spolier.

car looks a clean enough example

I like that kinda thing i'm in the process of buiding a PC set up in my car so i can store all my music and film etc to a hard drive plus having internet on the move etc etc.

I do want to change the bottom head unit to a more period alpine with which lights up green though

seen it done looked quite nice, only problem is that the tech 2 rear dont really work without the side pods so may do something different with the rear end

Looks pretty clean in the pics

First time i've been able to clean it since all the snow

Yeah those photos reminded me - it was on e-bay for a song as the milage was high - I found the auction just before it finished and considered bidding but wanted to see it before I bid, so didn't go for it in the end.

I knew it looked like a good one.

Nice work.

Yeah I found it on ebay and it turned out to be like 5 mins down the road from me, wouldn't say the mileage was particularly high it sitting at 166k at the mo which is well under the average miles per year if you break it down, I’ve since fitted an 80k engine as well

Got it for £700 in the end made a deal out side of ebay

[blackE30indy]

When are you planning on doing the engine conversion then
doin it by ur self

Me and my mate will be doing it the one who was with me when I came to get the screen off you, just waiting to hear about a new job I’ve applied for which comes with a company car and if I get it which I think I already have I can take the E30 off the road and crack on with the conversion.

It’s hard to do things like an engine conversions when the car in question is your daily whip lol

I want to see some pics of your old 6 series surprised your not driving that about those cars are fooking awesome!

Got any plans for the new E30?

[blackE30indy]

166 is not that high at all, I must be mixing it up the mileage with one which was on at the same time with nearly 200 on it.

You got a great deal. So you weren't tempted to keep the parking sensors then !!lol

[bobski]

looks smart mate, if you wanted rid of the rear spoiler mate i,d swap you my black standard one off my white IS? as i,ve just fitted the tech 2 kit but have no tech2 boot spoiler.

I do want rid to be honest but i either want a heck spoiler (i think thats what its called, the one with the colour coded insert) but i'm really liking the look of E30's with no spoiler at all tbh just need to find a clean boot lid with no holes

[bobski]

mines just a plain black heck spoiler have a look at my gallery its on page 2 of photogallery forum mate, i,d link it but not sure how to.
