E30 Zone

my daughter has good taste when it comes to cars and she asked for a e30 for her first car ok i said and after a little serch and some deals i got her this










shes a 316 with some paper work has mot and will be taxing it soon and using it as i will get ncb on the insurance but i have 2 yrs to clean polish and get it looking smart need another buff with the wheel and deep wax polish
clean and spray the alloys and hoover or valet
nice colour comment welcome

Looks decent, should clean up nicely. It's got my favourite steering wheel aswell.

looks tiday and a nice colour

would of loved a nice e30 for my first car, lucky girl

shes no where near to driving but i thought i would get it now as prices are climbing no rot at all and so should do her well

Looks lovely My only worry is that by the time your daughter is old enough to drive the insurance will have risen even more (if that's possible) and it will cost in excess of twelvety million pounds for a years insurance for young e30 drivers

Shouldn't be too bad on a 316 surely.

dont please m hoping i will have 2 yrs ncb then she can go on my insurance as a named driver maybe

My sister has been getting quotes of over £3000 for a 106 1.1 it is a fooking joke!! she wanted a 1.4 puma but most places would not touch her, If they would £6k plus She has had quotes of over 10k

my girlfriend is 17, she will be £800 fully comp with admiral on her own policy, only 10 months admitadly, im on its along with my dad, drops the price a lot.
When i was 17 i had a whopping 1.1 reno 5, all 75quids worth, it cost me £1200 third party, fire and feck all.

Girly insurance is cheap

Looks pretty cool for her first car

i remember my first car at 15 , a sh it box austin allegro in brown , thanks dad lol

i remember my first car at 15 , a sh it box austin allegro in brown , thanks dad lol

i remember my first car was a 1.3 austin maestro 1.3 lx in silver with lecy windows, mirrors and sunroof, she was even colour coded. looking bac it was a shite car lol but i loved it. bought it when i was in the army after passing my test at 17

@gazman- shes a lucky girl, that looks a lovely car. compared to my first ride shes got it great haha. good luck with insuring her on it mate

tidy looking lux you got Her there Dave.even has the correct amount of doors


some coded bumpers,boot spoiler and mirrors and Jobs a goodun

cheers guys i thought i better get this now coz when she can drive i wont be able to afford it as they will be changed to 2.5s
has boot spoiler but leeving it as it is

Tidy 1st car lucky girl.

Lovely nice colour, she's a very lucky girl with good taste.
Your daughter (or you) will be bummed royally for insurance though

Insurance is a sore topic for us youngens.

But that is a cool first car for a 15 year old girl!

My 24 (nearly 25) year old mate is paying £1,200 on a punto 1.1 with 3 years ncb and no points And me in a 2.6 v6 merc at the spritely age of 23, pay just over £500 a year with no points and 6 years ncb Big motors FTW!

THIS! maybe even some 15" BBS and a subtle drop, too. If going all out, a natur sport interior would look lovely with that colour.

Superb colour, girly without being too girly as well.

Wish my dad were that cool like.

ps awesome number plate, belongs on a different engined e30 though

sport looks nice in the back best colour imo

Very nice looking car,
Good taste,
Have to agree about the insurance though unless she can somehow get it on a clssic type of policy ?

Hope E30's are still viewed as 'cool' by the young lady in two years time!

If she starts to save up her paper-round money now,she'll be able to afford the first year's insurance.

Lovely looking motor,BTW,well found.

cheers im glad i found this other wise she wonted to drive mine

thats a nice car dave! One of my favourite colours

God I do love that colour , I think it suits the lines of the e30 better than most colours.

Nice looking example too! I think any new driver should be made to learn in a RWD car , as you have alot more respect for turning and using the throttle. I still remember the first time I spun an e30 about 8-9 years ago on a wet roundabout , never made that mistake again.

latest pictures then please Mr. gaszman

well after talking to a family member about this and whether jen will get insurance it looks like she may have to go, so there might be a for sale thread coming . i will be sad to see her go as i have grown to love the colour.
so if she goes how much ?????
and do i put the wheels with her also

any comments welcome wein rot your so nice

yes, put the wheels on, and £250 cash in your hand tomorrow mate
Han will be chuffed

that's a real shame Dave

Seems a shame to sell it on just due to the insurance? Have you tried to get a 'mock' quote based on her details but being 17 now and having just got her license so to speak... Do some quote and just see what happens, you can do it all online... Obviously insurance prices my go up and down over the next 2 years, but it might give you a rough idea of what she might be paying, or as you as the main driver etc...

Would be a shame to sell it on already, has she also said sell it on or does she now hate you?

Gutted for you and your daughter, smart car really! I'd of had it off you if I had the spare money. It should go quite easily but its hard to put a price on this kind of car. Rear head rests and electric windows, cheap winter smoker for the e30 enthusiast... yet on the other side its only a 316 and not so interesting (two different kind of opinions). My opinion is that i like it and would've considered buying for the winter if i had money! But its got to be worth a tad more than £250 adit lol

...+ zone mug?

you should be ok on insurance for that, seeing as shes a girl!!!
my girlfriend is 17 and costs her 1300 fully comp on a golf gti!!!
try admiral, that was after the price increase too.

If you were trying to insure a 17 year old lad it would be a different story, well to be fair you would have to fork out about 5k

got a quote if jen had passed her test and the cheepist on mony supermarket was ............2450.32
so its going
after a buff and a polish she turned out like this




bonnet a little fooked but elbow grease got a 500ml tub and

found some rust only 2 pieces searched in all the normal places carpets out ect bulk head nowt so i was glad to see this and only this it will be done wheels get a referb then she will be up for 900 i recon so i can get a smaller car for her


boot side inner wheel arch bit in the boot behind the plastic thing that covers the fuel vaper bottle
nice

normal weather nice to see the wax is doing its job

ok this was after a tcut then a base wax and a high gloss wax then i also dod the bumpers and trim with bumper care came up sweet . getting welding done then tax and insurance and then the sport can sleep for the winter.

this is exactly what i wanted for my 1st car but my dad made me buy a e36 instead in 2007- come 2008 (18 years old) i bought an e30 325i Tech 2 i paid £2800 for a year as named driver but it is the bigger engine,
now my little brother is turning 17 and he wants one too 316 e30 or even a e21
bless children with good taste in cars and for insurance companies they all a big joke dont let young people enjoy cars a guy my age to have anycar is a luxory!!
