1988 320i saloon going on ebay tonight

[shanehaward]

ive been after a clean e30 for ages a finally got one last night. its in nice condition and will start collecting parts soon for the build. got trailing arms for rear disc conversion already in my mums garage but i want to fit new bushes etc first. i fancy a m52 conversion because ive already had a m30 e30. Its a good base because theres zero rust and i went for a more door because im abit bored of seeing coupes and cabs at all the shows also its only done 64.000 miles and its got every mot since 1988!

[Nobby_N]

how much was it, i know everyoneis dying to ask lol looks mint buddy!

[shanehaward]

lol!! i wouldnt normally tell as i dont keep cars more than 5 minutes but paid £1300 which i think is cheap. its almost like driving a brand new e30.

[Nobby_N]

Bargain mate and looks great, you will make good money if you did sell! usually dont like 4 doors but they are growing on me!

[shanehaward]

how much do you recon this is worth then roughly out of interest? yeah same i just think there abit different even though there were proberly more of them made than the 2doors

[Bump]

About £1300 I'd say.

I'll get my coat.

yeah i know .i ordered them last night after a few beers then read the reviews this morning. not happy but they will have to do for now i suppose, i will replace them with something special next year perhaps.

yes im planning an engine swap. once ive done my suspension and brakes ill start collecting bits i need for a m52 swap. ill need an exhaust pretty soon if anybodys got one laying about as mine has a small hole in the centre box

[shanehaward]

also need some alpina reps (will paint them gunmetal grey)

[shanehaward]

my coilovers came today also got some 51mm legs from the breakers. will have a go at fitting them sometime this week and rear disc conversion.

[shanehaward]

[Rich320I]

set of alpina reps on ebay for £60 mate(not mine),

[bridgemond]

Looks very nice and clean. Best of luck with her

[mani]

looks in good condition mate

[shanehaward]

thanks. looks clean from outside but almost all bushes need replacing which i just found out when i was puting my coilovers on. i also split both front suspension arm balljoints and the tca balljoints ! front coilies are on now just going to pick up my trailing arms for the disc conversion and rear coilovers from my mums house

[bhups]

Looks mint mate!
