E30 Zone

Hi everyone,

Happy to be part of the E30 Zoners community .

Owning my E30 for about 3,5 years now, 318.000km on the clock and still going strong. It left the factory without the M Tech package, but the previous owner installed it together with some other sport package equipment.

It's certainly not perfect, but in good condition with some nice details. One thing to still get solved is the RPM/Fuel gauge not working - I wish I had some better technical knowledge to figure out what's going on myself.

Some carefully selected modifications have yet been installed : Z3 short shifter, Z3 steering rack, Alpina (replica) gauges, Eisenmann muffler.

I will further complete this later on .

Thanks ! It's pretty wel preserved for it's age and mileage indeed, only the drivers' seat has some minor wear. Some refreshment work has been done to the bodywork with a respray in 2009 (the car was ex-factory Lachssilber).

Only the RPM gauge not working is bothering me, together with the sloppy chrome trim (has been painted black, but the paint is not clean anymore - just looking for the time to redo it)

Welcome to the zone mate and I wish mine looked as good as this
Post in the technical section about the rpm counter and someone can answer the question.

Thanks Mart ! I hope someone over here will be able to help. I think the car has not the original engine anymore, nor the original ECU and someone made spaghetti of the wiring harness - not helping the case . I will take some pictures and post it into the technical section shortly.

More pics of the car are always welcome as well
Have a look in the "Wiki" , there`s a lot in there to help.
What is your location by the way?

You don´t see the blue sport interior too often, but I´m also a big fan Blue sound system where difficult to source - eventually found them in California.

Some more pictures

And more ...

En route to Goodwood

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry nice indeed

In the meanwhile, complete engine revision has been done. Currently in the process of getting the engine reinstalled. Also took the decision to swap the Eisenmann Sport for the Eisenmann Race without the mid muffler and took the opportunity as well to install a dbillas sport camshaft.
