HI guy and gals
My name is Graham , I have just received my second E30, My first was a 320 4 door mtech,I sold this car twenty odd years ago and regretted it every day since.
Last week I manage to get hold of my second E30 again a 4door but this for now is a 1.8 auto in need of some work.
its totally original which i have some big plans for!
I will be doing some reading on issues the car has got in hopes that i can fix and if not I am hoping for some advice from people that know
Anyway thats me
