Gr Jeroen

WHAT

it's probably the build number of your car, he's a Baur freak !

[Baurtje]

LOL. E30topless is right, it is a productionnumber. Baur numbered theri cars. This sign should be inside the offside door:


The AE number is the VIN that relates to this Baur-number.

Gr Jeroen

[christophsbmw]

Theres a very nice baur for sale near my house in london. I looked at it and from what i saw (outside only) it was pretty much rust free!
A steal at only £1500... Don't know what engine tho, single exhaust so 320i and lower

Then I received my steering wheel boss still missing the steering wheel tho. Fitted the pressed plates and exhaust along with the spacers. Removed the front grills I be painted.

About two of these cans even one and some sanding, would give it a fresh look!

I also have a Brilliantrot Red, but its a Coupe...

[McGoo]

loving this dude, i spoke to you on tramp drift as i also have a e30 on rota grid v's

have you only spaced the fronts 20mm or did you go 20mm all round as my rotas wouldnt fit on the front as they caliper touches, ive gone 15mm on the front and 25mm on the back.

going to keep my eye on this one

[christophsbmw]

Cheers I'm running 20 mm front but have 25mm to go on the back.

[Jos]

Do you change the wheels for MOT? Over here that would be insta-fail...

[christophsbmw]

No I don't I work in a garage and are mot tester said its fine and he's a fussy man he fails every thing.
