E30 Zone

poished the ole motor yesterday .. so i thought i'd take a few updated pic's

small video:

Haven't heard that cult track for years! Very nice looking car mate, loose the eyebrows, change back oe rear lights to make it perfect! But that's just my opinion!

thanks for the comments.. i just got the Cult's electric CD/album during the week .. had it on a cassette for yrs but never on CD

as for changing back.. some day maybe ive got all parts needed to do this but i like it being that little bit different from the standard look

Stunning car mate, stunning, great pictures, location and video. Nice to see some fellow Scotts cars

us Scottish members need some local meets so we know each other better when posting on the zone ..etc

& thanks for your comments

edit/ the location of my pic's is a fav of mine & it's as good as being in my back garden it's about 750yds from my house!

We do indeed mate more Scottish meets are a must determined to get to some over the coming months!!
You are very welcome mate, i speaketh the truth - stunning!!! Lucky having that location so close. Hopefully see you at some point.

a little about my car "as it sits" i'm going to boast a little here as ive had many E30's but nothing i have seen in the flesh (apart from Gary's M3 EVO) has been as clean as my E30 ..

1990 318iS
FSH
not one bit of rust & never had a weld (floor, cill's, boot or chassis)
fully restored shell inc 2 new front wings in 2009/10
fully poly bushed.. nightmare in the wet!
17" BBS LM reps.. which probably add to the above but they do look good
mint interior & carpet
mint engine bay, totaly dry & rust free
constantly hounded by a prev owner trying to buy it back
countless amounts of nice comments from total strangers

when i 1st got my E30 i knew there was a gem hidden below all the yrs of dust & grime & after a massive clean-up i entered it in to one show last year & won

pics tell a million words: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3871075/1990-bmw-3-series

thanks again, my E30 is my daily.. i used it every day through the past winter (washed it every day to!) it has covered a tad over 134K miles but i still pick it to drive before our near new Corsa SXi

i was very lucky to have gotten the car but i'm so glad i did get it.. & i don't see me parting with it any time soon

a Scottish meet must happen soon i think??

Your very welcome mate, really taken with your car! Good to see your looking after it well as they need to be, i agree on the Corsa, i have a modern eurobox as my daily and its so refreshing to jump in the E30 on a nice day - i never fail to think, yep this is 28 years older than my daily....and its still soooo much better!!!! Yes a Scot meet up soon is deffo on the cards!!!!

Looks spanking Ian.
Deffo got yourself a cracking car there.
