even though i have had this car for 4-5 months i felt the need to share it with you all :D full service history, at the present time just done over 48 thousand miles. everything working including the elcetric hood.

fianlly joined e30 zone after so many of my mates telling me about it, this site so helpfull. anyways enough typing let the pics do the talking.

I like! Minty fresh.

I'd do it the other way round. Lower it a little, find some decent wheels, then if you still want, get the kit. I prefer no kit.

Take good care of this one m8!
I would keep it 100% pure original.
But congrats, it's a beautiful example of how nice E30's cabbies can be :)

Hey very nice car, I'm in the same boat as you, bought my first E30 last year, 48K on the clock, same as it left the factory, very similar to yours only I have beige leather. i'll see if I can dig out a pic..

Roll on the fine weather!!!

It looks a little tidier now as I replaced all the bumper mouldings and those little spring loaded flaps near the hood mechansim. There are a few little marks that are being touched up this week and then its' out with the Meguairs next weekend. I had a few people suggest that i should put the M-tech kit on it but the way I see it these cars are getting rare and maybe should be left as they left the factory.
