i think they are ok sometimes but i'm not keen on them, but thats me. Oz will have a hard on over it!
Turbo from the touring into that? You really need your head looking at if you do that!

I like cars that will bite you on the arse if your not concentrating! 
My original plan/dream for years was to build a Hartge e21 H35 335i replica but I'm loving the m20b25 turbo.

I'm in 2 minds.bss325i wrote:A motorsport convertible by any chance?B7 wrote:Yea no probs anytime. i may have a different car in my garage too.
1st mind. "I'm buried in mine and it's a well sorted, very original car that needs very little spent on it from now on. Finished if you like"
2nd mind " Don't be a coont. I'm sure I have a buyer for mine at good money. We are talking about a manual Msport in the excact colour I've always wanted. Not sure if this is strictly true (I'll have to do my homework again) but possibly only 1 of 25 (manuals). The chance may never come up again"
1st mind. "Mines a non facelift which I actually prefer as a purist. It was the original model of e30 penned and thats how it should be. Looks more of a classic."
2nd mind. "The msport is a full facelift, the rarest convertible alone without it being an msport in the 1st place"
1st mind. "The msport does need work. Thats more money again on top of the additional cost of buying. JUST from the photos it needs another wheel refurb, it's got council dials and a chrome e36 gear knob (enough to normally make me walk away), front end wants painting (BARRY????) and from the shots it's on a non standard pipe. It's been stated "the hood is still good" but from the shots I can see that it's the original hood and nowhere near the condition of mine (and we all know what I'm like)". And thats just for starters. It's got just under a 100k up so we all know that the heads gonna want some work soon (it may have been done but I doubt it). How long could I live with suspension looking like 90k old? Refurb anyone?
2nd mind. "its a rare msport car etc. etc."
and so it's gone on, all night, f*cking with my head. I just don't know.
It's easy to say "it's not a lot of dough to put it right" but right now it's my last priority to spend money on. My cars sorted, full stop. It should need no more big money spending. That alone lets it stay in the garage as my toy. anyone who's married will know what I mean. And thats not detrimental to the wife as she's an angel about it all. BUT, with a young daughter and her education, a house that needs a bathroom refurb, it's all about priorities.
But then a mauritious with lotus white leather? Oh my head hurts!

An M30'd TURBO'd e21 whould be even more so.bss325i wrote:An M30'd E21, what a weapon!mattG wrote:My original plan/dream for years was to build a Hartge e21 H35 335i replica but I'm loving the m20b25 turbo.
Matt. Don't listen to si. He can't even decide between nice glossy original subtle diamond black or gay, up the arse, blue!
E21 323's are the dogs. When I was a young, we had an excuse to smash cars up. 3 litre capris were a f*ckin' animal in the wet. You had to treat them with respect, a bit like a 323i. THEY taught US to drive. You try putting a Mk4 manual 2.3 Cortina Ghia into the roundabout at the bottom of the mad Mile (a217 banstead) at 65, 5 up, in the wet! It's bloody scary. None of this namby pamby ABS and LSD's. You have to ask what excuse todays young guns have, smashing up their 1.4 Saxo's?
When boy's grew to be men eh?

e21's were rubbish even bmw knew that. Thats why they spent so much effort getting the E30 "right"
Revised suspension meant a car much safer on the limit in the wet. Well better anyway, plus they look twice as good
New touring could be on the drive Tues/Weds

must admit sometimes people walking past my house do a double take, happened alot when there were 3 e30's parked outside, more so if i had any visiting zoners ( and more strange looks), i can only guess what they were thinking ...
