Hi all,

Been a big fan of BMW since the 70's when my dad brought home a 1975 520! se. Gold in colour with the chrome surorund! He moved up to the seven series in 1983 and had been driving them until 2015 when he passsed away! Anyway, I caught the bug in 2001 aand bought a new 330d SE. Since then I drive X5's now, but had a few X6's in between. But the one car for me as a teenager was dad bringing home a service car 318is or 320i coupe. I use to get the chance to drive it!

So on the way to pick up my new X5 in July, I enquired about anyone owning a E30 325i.

This is what I ended up buying!

1990 325i Mtech 2.


I'm on here to get this car mint! I need to get silly little parts that need attention! Including the jacking points. Scuttles are good! The car has had 75% restoration. The rear of the car had new quarters and inner arches done 5 years ago. Total paint job too! Now front end and engine bay needs to be refurbished!

regards

I drove the mustang in May last. She goes well and is in good shape! Needs little things to be done!

Here she is!

Paul Burke and I are currently restoring this one! Stalled a bit since he has more kids this year! I'm up to me eyes in work too, so the odd weekend we get together to work on them. Allows us to switch off from normal working day! And to take the mickey out of each other as well. lol!

I better not hijack the E30 from why I am here! Absolutely love driving the E30. People wave, flash their car lights. E30's are not so common here on the roads in NI either! Both get great attention!

I know you didn't fit them but I would love to know the secret to fitting Evo bonnet seals correctly! I've had a good few attempts and they still sit wrong.
