oh well, i thought i could post them direct on to this post, u will have to look at the links instead, sorry guys and girls.

Shit mate, that isn't the usual chrome turd that you see about. That looks really fresh and clean. Is that a telephone i spy in the car, option or aftermarket?

Just seen the mileage picture, that would be one of the reasons it looks in very good nick.

Top condition, a credit to you and its previous owners. Colour is too

Nice car dude

not bad mate,will look much better when you manage to wash and polish it up a bit.













only joking

I guess i better tell you abit about it then.... well i bought it in june this year from a guy who had had it for 15 years as his wifes run about. The only things i have done are, full service and engine tune, got rid of the 14"bottletops and replaced the with 15"BBS, front ones could do with a little referb but there not to bad for now. Lowered 40mm all round (thanks Gwyn, top lad!) 1 new fog, left. New sound system, nothing silly no bass bin madness just 'infinity refs all round with moveable tweeters, really good sound, M-Tech 1 stearing wheel (cheers Andyp). A shit load of elbow grease to clean the paint work up and bling that chrome and i think thats about it.....oh and a bloody good hoover and shampoo of the carpets. No engine mods yet, maybe in the near feature. Thanks for all your help with the questions i have asked so far to get it to this stage am sure there will be more ? to come. Hope you like her, i do!

maxwell you tool

If you edit your post and put at the end of the link it will work

its been a long day mate and i was up late last night messing with that bloody holiday snap....maybe tomorrow

It's not happening for me

jon_bmw the phone was in the car when it was first purcased and it still works! but not got it connected as it will just lead to more bills! took a lot of weekends to get it lookin as shiny as it does. I want to fly the flag for all the chrome purist out there.....are there any left?!

Big up da chrome massive. Or something. Erm....











Looks lovely mate - & you're not alone on the chrome front!

edit: couple more pics!

How did you do that

Ziggy....cheers man, thanks for sticking them up for me. I'll give ya some retouching lessons one day!.....

Meh... you couldn't teach me nuffink Although I'll have to talk to ya about tablets sometime... I just don't get on with mine - prefer using the mouse

Anyway... back to the car! So what's it like underneath?! Seen too many nice ones that died of rust that you couldn't see normally Hope it's solid though - really is a credit to ya! Shame it's so hard to get black headunits these days though...




Max - gotta use a direct link to the pic...

Looks sweet.......

Ziggy.... am not a retoucher, have my own retoucher for my work, am a photographer. I work very closely with my retoucher so have just picked a few things up over the last couple of years. Back to the car...underneath it is solid as a rock had it up on ramps with the machanic that does the work on it and for a 22 year old car i was very suprised, no rust, not even around the arches. As for black headunits i have just found a nice sony one so will be getting that at some point. Cheers mate am glad u like the car.

That is such a clean car, I really like that, same mileage as mine, but much cleaner. Big respect.

That with a 2.7 in it would be awesome.

ive seen this car and been telling others on the zone about it, it is a very good example of a chrome bumper model [ saying that it was dark at the time] but it is still a very nice car, get it down to aces tomorrow its only down the road for you not like some of us.

That is one very clean and tidy example you have there sir,inside and out. Well done.

Wow! That looks so good. Nice one. Extremely clean.

Cheers for the comments so far guys. Theo...i want a e30 m3 so why bother with the 2.7...but would be fun ya right!

Great stuff - my 320i went that way, so I'm glad this one's a goodun!

Hi dom-1984-320i
Car looks great, definalty doesnt show its age, that car is in beautiful condition

Cheers Ziggy.

Wow! How minty mint is that? Trez cool.

WOW, that could be straight out of the brochure, looks like an amazing car, pure class.

Interesting about the phone, does it have any markings on it.

i think the phone is NEC Jon. the colour is burgandy rot metallic. Cheers jon i thought people might of given me so s*%t for it being a chrome but so far a good responce from all so am glad you like it mate.

i want to replace the orange indicator's with new ones, what do u reakon folks, smoked indicator's front and side?

Cheers jon i thought people might of given me so s*%t for it being a chrome but so far a good responce from all so am glad.

chrome bumper e30's are the only ones to have
Your car is very very nice

Nice colour, and I like the gold pinstripes - are they transfers or painted? Was thinking of adding one to my black 325iSE...

they are the original pistripes the car came out of the fatory with...they are vynal not painted

Cool, cheers. They really go well with that colour IMHO. My very first E30 was an '84 320i too (Henna red 4-door). Manual everything (including steering), but to me at the time it was the business!

Manual steering, that must of been a chore! thank god mine has full electrics and power steering!

Hehe yeah it was a bit of an armful on tight bends. Went well for an old 320i though - I had an 8 seconds 0-60 out of it, and 125mph! Yours looks like it had one very careful yuppie owner (it's the phone!)
