I'm back on the road in an E30 after a 6 month break...

Pick it up from outside Skegness on Friday (The train journey was great :? ) Anyway, it made it the 250 miles home OK, needs a few things doing to it... i have been after a Brilliant Red tourer for a while, so this Brilliant Pink one will do!

I have a 325 breaker sitting on my drive! It's nearly run in @ 180K

Can't make up my mind if i want to drop in the 325 lump, or wait and get a 3.5 in there winkeye

Very nice Mark.
Nice to see you got a 318 4-pot rightness. Obviously mine impressed you then... winkeye :D

Looks nice, and as already said, with a Tech 2 kit and Motorsport spoiler as well... :drool:

Top marks mate. Looks great. Bit of coloured T-Cut maybe to make it redder.

Looking forward to seeing it in the metal at the Willet on the 4th. :cool:

And it was only down the road form me... and you never called in. Phaaaa!

Looks like a nice one. Drop the 2.5 lump in there for the time being, then the M30 a bit later on when you've got all the bits together. :wink:

The valence is genuine! just that the top clips are missing...

I've ordered them from BMW today! The body kit was fitted in 1996 by the BMW dealer, but they didn't bother to drill the front panel and fit the proper clips...

I've also got to fit the front fog lamps (never seen a tec II front before with fog lamp blanks!)
