E30 Zone

New to the zone and thought it would be rude not to show my new E30 project, it's my first E30 but not my first BM. Had an E36 318is a few years ago then got a Z3 (was pretending to be a hairdresser) aquired the latest car from a friend who has been requested by the police to stay off the road!!!!

So far I have stripped and rebuilt the rear brakes and added some german plates and a marmite style bonnet decal!

Don't worry the wheels are going soon, but had to put something on to keep it at my parents house. Have ordered these LM reps hopefully they will arrive in the next week or two.


Also added pics of my old BMs, wish I had never sold them

Clean looking car , love it in white and those rims will look sweet, oh and welcome to the zone mate

nice looking clan there mate.

welcome to the zone.

Hey mate, welcome to the zone,

Love the car, its going to look awesome with those rims on. Post pics up when you get them

Nice looking motor
You obviously know that the wheels you have a picture of are 5 stud and not 4 stud which the E30 requires.

thanks I copied the picture from the company website they didn't have a 4 stud photo, thanks anyway.

They are a lovely looking wheel. That was the style I was after but couldn't find anything so I went for the wolfrace Kendo wheels you can see in the pic in my signature. Where have you ordered them from?

i like it....

hey mate, where did you get the decal? It all looks great!

Welcome to the zone mate!

I like that a lot! I very nearly ordered those rims for my touring, they will look the nuts on yours as its white!!

Keep the pictures coming!!

Got the decal from the wonderful world of eBay came from America, took a while to arrive but was worth the wait. As for the wheels they are from BM Auto Sport www.bmautosport.co.uk, spoke to them today should be here for the weekend. Gone for 16" as feel 17" are to big with the suspension drop.

Me old chariot is starting to come together with the Hulster's signature - loving it man.

Got the wheels today and just had to rush over to fit them. sorry about the poor quality photos it was starting to get dark.

i have a feeling you may have put your drilled and grooved disks around the wrong way? i may be wrong though....

Anyone know who supplies these wheels. I could be very interested in a set for the cabby.

Welcome to zone mate....car looks nice are the LM's replicas or the real deal good choice either way

Ah Mr Hulse, have we school boy'd ?

congratulations to BeemerShmeemer who has noticed my deliberate mistake (anyone believe that ) Yes it seems I have made a total tw@t of things with the rear brakes, no prizes for guessing what I'll be doing this afternoon. 11 out of 10 for attention to detail. Would never have noticed myself. Thanks Buddy.

Make sure you get some good pics today mate,looking foward to seeing them on your car,first E30 in the UK running these wheels!

Nice motor, i like the wheels you had on in the first place, if im not wrong theyre azev a's??

Nice motor fella. You won't back to the newer ones now.

Looks very nice that fella, love the LM's but i would be tempted to get a set of new wheelbolts to finish them off

Added some slightly better pictures of the wheels, as the car is sitting as a MOT failure with no battery or steering wheel I couldn't move it very far to get a better angle.



Also added some tinted rear lights.



Needs some welding done prior to the MOT, hoping to get this done in the next couple of weeks.

really like this car!

Looking good bro, looking forward to seeing it in action. Good work with the brakes - classic!!

Car's looking good mate, although I imagine you'll get a lot of hassle with those number plates......

Nice mate. ditch the chrome around the windows. Where did you get the lights from?

The chrome will be going soon, it was covered up by some tape to keep it black but it looked $hit and started peeling off. The lights are a home made effort, my mate I got the car from donated some crystal units that I thought looked tacky so I got some tinting spary and tinted the top half. I'm happy with the end result and they are perfectly legal.

As for the number plates, not had it on the road with them on but hoping that the police will ignore it as the number is random, I had a tiny front plate on my E36 and all I got was a mouthful of abuse and a £30 fine from a copper who seemed to think it was impossible for a 19 year old to own anything more than a rusty fiesta. Just going to risk it.

Again compliments on the car but i can see you having some stick for those plates!
I had german style ones on my old mk2 golf and i was pulled on the regular but they do look ace so well worth the hassle!

Also added pics of my old BMs, wish I had never sold them

Whys that mate the E30 looks a whole lot better than them two, You cant beat the E30! lol

looks good pal get rid of the chrome for the black ones on the windows the car looks good what is the engine size?
