Less than a week of being E30 less, this goes and happens!
Not exactly my colour, but body work is mint and it drives like a dream.
Not seen this colour before, are there any other mineral blue E30's out there?
Should come up nice when its clean.

Any views appreciated..........

Nice car, great colour, looks really original too. What spec, engine, miles is it? How much did you pay?

I expect that colour is rare for a reason
I've seen one E30 in that shade before - didn't actually look too bad in the metal

I like it just because it is different! What is the last 7 digits of the VIN? I can tell you if the color is factory or not.

Its a 320i SE, 44,000 on clock, but no docs, and it cost..... not much!

Looks in good nick,
Really don't like the colour though, reminds me of my first car, a 1979 ford fiesta popular plus (read bum-basic) no servo assisted brakes and a foot pump for the washer fluid. Oh and with its 950cc engine it made 38BHP as standard, remebered trying to time the 0-60 and ran out of road.
But at least the colour can be changed
Cheers,

I like it because it is different!! It is very cool! I wouldn't change it, it's rare. I like that rear sunshade thing, that's pretty cool, I might want one some day.

I like the colour!
It's 100% factory colour, there's a mineral blue 4 door around my way, and there's also a member on here with a 325i mineral blue 2 door with the complete M-tech kit, looks nice in the metal.

well, Ive ended up with that one, a 325 touring and picking up a 318 is at the weekend!!
Its a toss up between the 318 and the touring to keep, so the `bluey` is going to have to go!!
Can believe that i'm gonna get rid of a motor in that good a condition and mileage, just dont no what price to put on it.
Will put a 12 month ticket on it for peace of mind, but what's it worth?
Any ideas?
