Always hard to tell malachite from black in some pics.

Looks malachite but then im biased.

Its green, not sure on which shade though.

Plans for it, um, not sure. Id like to lower it. Its on spax adjustable suspension,but standard springs. A 6 branch would be nice too.

Ill get some better pics over the weekend, might even wash it too :eek:

Will be Malachite, tells you on the strut tower under the bonnet it the sticker is still there.

You cant lower the car on standard springs unless you cut the springs but not a good idea.

Ahh yeah, i know i need different springs, 40mm i guess, i wouldnt go for cut springs. Sorry, should have worded it a bit better :)

Yeah cut springs wouldnt help the ride much. Any recommendations for decent lowering springs? Bilstein dont make them for the e30 do they?

I think ive been pretty fortunate with this one, looking at some other e30's they tend to rust quite a bit.
