The New Zone has given me an excuse to post this. Let’s see if I’m as inept with tech as I am with old turds.

I moved to Stuttgart March 2017 and had been on the hunt for an e30 to replace my RHD e92. Anyone familiar with e30 prices in Germany will know it is nothing short of vomitous. Roll on February 2018 and I was promoted to a location in the Rhineland that is ‘affectionately’ known as ‘The Rock’. Mucho snow and ice, the roads are more Romanian than velvety smooth Teutonic tarmac. I decided that it would be sensible for something AWD/4WD. A few options were considered (almost bought a 80’s Panda 4x4 - don’t judge) but set my heart on an IX Touring but starting prices for half decent examples were coming in at €14,000 and nice examples fetching €20,000.

I had given up looking but like all good things in life, one found me. The Zone came to the rescue in the form of this LHD e30 325ix, 60,000 Miles, manual, sport seats, royal blue, ticked all the boxes and I’m sure the previous owner won’t mind me saying, he spent a fortune on this vehicle. A short flight to the UK and by September 15th she was mine. I will be daily’ing this through winter, I hope to maintain it at previous owners level while never actually touching it myself (Bought-not-Built). https://9apps.ooo/


Wish me luck!
