Here's my E30 convertible that I bought earlier in the year. Always wanted one, and pleased to say that it's as fun as I thought it would be. Keep the sunny days coming....
Love the zone

What a motor!!!
Lovely looking car. Is it standard at all?? Is that a cheeky exhast on there? When i had my H26 you guys all thought it was ox-blood interior and so did I, but it turns out its called "Crimson Red".
BMW told me that from my build sheet.
What ever it is, it looks wicked. A great first E30 to own.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
The car is actually an Alpina C2.5 converted from new by Sytner Nottingham. It was run as a demonstrator. The 2.7 badges were on the car when I bought it. Have looked into getting the C2.5 badges for the car but no luck apart from replicas. Even the replicas appear to be cԚ£45 each.
I have the original receipts for the car. The work Sytner carried out included ECU, cam, suspension, wheels, exhaust, trim bits, badges etc. 2 pages of receipt. Just shy of Ԛ£7k for the conversion in 1990!
The colour is Schwartz Black with Crimson leather. The car has been resprayed at some time hence the mirror finish. A good job done though.
As for the next bits and pieces - I am thinking about new suspension (currently a bit low I think) and as pointed out by the neighbours the exhaust is a bit loud. Then again, I only use it at weekends so why not make some noise!

dont worry bout the neighbors.. its part of the idea of a convertable to be able to hear the exhaust a bit more - plus the m20 is a lovely sounding engine
really is a stunning looking vert

That is the nicest E30 cab I've ever seen
The back box looks like a sebring to me, I think they make a nice noise (I have one on the touring) and you probably won't get rid if you find out how much a back box costs!!

nice motor, unusual colour for the leather isnt it? is that factory or a retrim?
Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2005 10:07 pm
by JOSEMI
I wouldn't know myself, but on first impression it seemed to me like they had been coloured somehow, or they have done a very good job re-trimming it...
