Old member but new e30

[maujo]

Hey all, old member here but finally got a new metallic beige 320i auto after a run of bad luck with my previous e30s.

Plans for the old lass are a manual conversion at some point, potentially a 2.5 swap at the same time or perhaps something different depending on whats around at the time that I have the funds.

So far Ive started refreshing the suspension with new bilstein shocks and sport springs to just lower her a smidge and to let the wheels fill the guards a bit more. The next step will be most if not all suspension bushings and potentially adding in a rear swaybar while also beefing up the swaybars a bit - not sure at this stage though.

Anyway just thought Id say hi again as I havent been around for a very long time. Photos to come

Hi and welcome back, did you want help reactivating your old account?

Your new project sounds great, we look forward to seeing some photos.

[maujo]

Thanks! Haha this is the old account, Im just still a zone newb because I never posted much but I made good use of the forums, learnt most of what i now know of these cars from here. Really appreciate all the time and effort members have put in to make it what it is!

[Steve]

Great, I like ones that nice and easy to sort out.

[maujo]

I dont know if these will come up but here are some photos of how she looks.

What it looks like since the shocks and springs were done

Photos look good to me and it's a 4 door.

I agree Steve. and love that steering wheel, it really suits the car.

Mart.

[maujo]

Haha cheers! yeah I like the 4 doors, easier to get stuff onto the back seat

The old wheel was a bit worn and wanted something that had a classic look to it without having the cost of a nardi wheel to it

Me too and 22 years later I still own it.

Love the colour !

[maujo]

Haven't seen many e30s in this kaschmirbeige-metallic, the guy I bought it off said it was more an e36 colour or something though I'm not too sure

[Steve]

Nice, it's a rare colour only normally found on cabs and tourings, saloons got Bronzitbeige.

Has it still got the paint code sticker?

[maujo]

Yep sure does

[HartgeH27]

Very rare !

[Topblag]

Jewish Racing Gold !

Wow! I’ve not seen that color. Initially I thought it was Bronzit.
