Hehe, I'm going to build a platform over the E30's in the back, and then put some seats and the television. Then I can use the height of the garage. Would like to have a bridge, but the cost of it is a bit much. Maybe in the future... There is a pit in the garage, underneath the white one. So that's handy.

I've got them all quite cheap to be honest :D

The 316 from 84 I bought in mint condition for only 500euro's :D It had 89037kms on it then. But being my first car, and driving it with less experience, I hit a car standing still at 70km/h...

The White one I bought for 150euro's! It had MOT on it 8) Just the pump for the clutch is gone, so you need to synchronise the clutch yourself for shifting. Still, for that money buying a car that drives...

In the past, I even bought one for 100euro's, with Hartge alloy's on it, rear windows for a coupé that can go open (really rare over here) allmost everything electric...

Well, I got the garage like that, so I would not really know :o: Was planning to redo the floor in red, but when I calculated the cost of it, I changed my mind...


Installed new indicators on the coupé:

And changed the rear lights:

Image

Not sure I'm gonna keep it that way though. Like it original, but like this I've 1 E30 completely original, 1 with red indicators and then the black version. Still, this is maybe a bit to black at the back?

Also bought a 316i on LPG:

Image

Thought it would be quite slow, but actually it drives quite well. Camshaft is f"cked, engine can't go higher then 4500rpm... So probably will fit a DBilas one.

Little movie:


Bought a standard KW kit for it, so it handles better, but still need to install it.

Also made a little movie with the 325i:



Hope you enjoy it...

Very jelous. I'd love a little garage space like that!

Have searched a long time to find one like that. Wanted a garage that offers 150m² space, this one is 100m². Can fit 6 E30's in it if I really want to... But a bit bigger would've been better. Still, a bit bigger and the prices are to high...

Thank you for the comments btw!

Today worked a bit on my touring, and parked the 325i and 316i in front of my garage, friend showed up in his 318is, all same outfit, so took a (crappy) picture.

Image

We're going to Santa Pod with the IS. Maybe with the 327i, but don't think I'll get it finished in time...

No, it was without suspension. I just wanted to see how low a E30 could go. If you get yours that low, respect mate :D

Friend of mine had his ride this low:

Image

And this allready gave trouble to enter my garage :D

And it's quite flat actually:

Image

Still, they just look really great when low
:cool:
