[daimlerman]

Understand Andyboy has an early one locked away waiting for a new shell.....

[capri_rob]

Chrome goodness - lol - I know its not only just pre facelift ( August '87 ) but what the hell.......

Didnt the E30 came out in 1983?
There must be some one in here with one of the first versions I supose?

[323iNathan]

Mine's build date 04/1984.

[Ziggy]

My first one was '83 & I had it when I was on here... but it's now dead. Still got the chrome goodness, but my current '87 is hardly that early.

hennabm has one of the early press test cars.

[stevotheevo]

this was my first E30,1983 320i auto, its long been sold but to this day is one of my fav's.

[gooner1]

1/8/1986. Early high compression engine now on just under 98000 .....and no rust.
Eat your hearts out all you chrome hating facelift mob.

[ed325i]

I think snoops e30 is a y plate.

[Ziggy]

My car used to look remarkably similar to that!

I'm restoring a December 1984 Chrome 320i 2 door at the mo - Alpine white, pine green cloth, PAS, bottletops and limited slip diff. It's being painted over the weekend after a week of prep. Once back from the bodyshop it's getting Eibach 30mmn springs, Bilsteins all round plus a whole raft of servicing stuff.

The oldest one however is right hand drive 320i chassis number 1. It was the first right hand drive E30 built, a black 2 door. Not much left of it at all and yes, I own it.

[oakey]

So Andyboy- you are the king of the chromeys!
Any chance of some pics of the white one when finished?

[Jhonno]

Any pics of the state of chassis no.1?

The 1984 car - a wings off resto. Botyh front wings were new BMW replacements in 2002 but one got bashed so it's getting a new one.


The first RHD E30 was also the first E30 registered in Scotland although it was built in October 1982.




001 - they don't get older than that!

That's about right. It will never see the road again unless it's a logbook job. One day I might get a good black chromey shell and built it, maybe not. It's dead but not forgotten.
