Here's some pictures of my convertible!
Buy it io a few months and I have done several things at the level of maintenance interventions general (belts, oils, filters, water pump, refine valves, a new hub, radiator, water pipes, etc ....)
Now with time I will dedicate myself more to aesthetics, urgently needs a new roof, I been watching on the Web in UK, in Portugal is more car.
If someone can show me a good place in the UK at good price. I thank´s a lot.
and later will paint the whole car. As the flap of polishing wheels and paint the center black.
I have another two or three problems, one is the quadrant that does not rev counter service, and oil temperature gauge does not pass the blue when it gets hot, check the panel does not work.
please excuse my English

6th Tuesday afternoon I received the springs 40/40mm
after throwing the wife and kids I went to the garage boy! Only I put the springs in front and went to test the exit ramp of the garage and bang exhaust on the ground
I have to get some boards to get out without scraping.
I think that put the springs back to the car no longer comes out!
I have to make some ramps before getting the springs, but do not know how???
But so is not so bad but the idea is even downloading anything.
This week I painted the tail lights, just the orange part of the red flashers. was cool ....
what do you think removing the centers of the rims??

By the way nice looking cab you have there.Got a 318i design cab, a 325i cab & a 316 touring in my little collection. trouble is we have to keep them out of this environment the best we can in winter. The council (camera) put tons of grit/salt on our roads this encourages E30 etc. to rust and rot away. Dont think you have that problem in Portugal.

Here is the fact that more care is about the rain. Snow alone even in the Serra da Estrela (2000m) and only in winter.
But we still have cases of rust in our E30, especially those in the first phase until 1988.
On the other hand you have much more engines and stronger than us.
In Portugal 325i is very rare to find second and even the first phase are not many.
