Would you believe it the guy who owns the E3 is younger than me! In his mid 20's i would say. I was chatting to him and he just bought it from bristol.

Cool Another deviant!

Has to be Tortoishell or black mate to be proper 80's. I have a set of original Tortoishells in the convertible

Ever seen the Gary Oldman '87 film "The Firm"?

The yetti rocks a pair of white ones.

Black ones are in the pipe line though!

[TouringTash]

anyone know how much a kidney A Neg is worth ?

Gotta be the 5K needed and another 2K to pay for the makeover required.
Have the Black ones in a box, drawer, shelf... God I hate moving.

Notice how the the black E30 is substituted for an E21 when it gets set on fire?

An E30 must have been to expensive to burn in '87!

[inlovewithRWD]

Shame he let one of his sales guy take a motorsport in on scrappage really. That still makes my blood boil!

Have you still got that photo of the mauritious motorsport in for a water pump. That was a peach as well.

I cant find the pics of the maritious motorsport but i did an inspection 2 on this last year, it belongs to a zoners father. Only had 42k and was very mint and original!

Seen this in the flesh. It's as nice as it looks.

That's my father's car and it is a really nice example. I'll pass on the compliments!

[staley_turbo]

Didn't catch that, will take another look. I seen a few e30s getting a beating though!

Yeah, seen it but missed the specs.

Watched "Rise of the Foot Soldier" again yesterday via iPod on the train. Also a good 80's revisit.

[bss325i]

That film is awesome!

"I F*cking love you man!"

I've just noticed on that 6 series that even the dashboard is covered in leather. Even has electric seats.

[bss325i]

Mo, even the headlining was leather!

Electric heated seats btw.

[TouringTash]

leather headling I'm sold.

[kieranbusak9]

Was that part of the Highline package or is an option?

I thhink the leather dash was part of the highline package. Unsure on headlining. Kos would know.

[MJJ_ZX6RR]

This pair are latest in a long line of 20+ year old BMW that always end up being given to me to work on.

Probably beacause i get the most excited about them. (Yes sad i know!)

Barry,

Would you mind a slightly related hi-jack question? Just wondering if you knew if all dealers maintained diagnostics that would talk to older cars? I need to get the alarm ECU reset on my '94 E32 740i, and am convinced I will get charged £200 to be simply told the current diag stuff won't talk that far back.

Lovely cars by the way, thanks for sharing.

Martin.

The dealer I worked at sees a few oldies too, the odd E28 and E30 mainly. The mechanics there have been there for up to 20 years so there's no shortage of knowledge. That's rare in a dealership these days.

I have all the tech info for the carbs on the E3/E12/E9, the 35/40 INATs. An E3 that early won't have the TM starter auto choke or the mixture bypass though. You need to balance them with a double pipe vacuum gauge.

Contrary to popular belief, the rear shelf and headlining on highlines are vinyl, good quality, nicely stitched ,but vinyl

[bss325i]

Well you learn something new every day! Vinyl!

[minigibbo]

Dont see them like that any more

[Ollie_bwoii]
