Love my car

[Cotty]

Ok not in "I want to shag it way" just that its a cool car, does everything i want it to, starts most times, can get shed loads of stuff in it. Quick, it has similar performance to my old TVR S1. Cheap to run, insurance and tax wise, doesn't drink fuel.

Hell I have taken it to Le Mans, drag raced it, met great people because I own it, what more can i ask of a car?

This came up as I was talking to a couple of old freinds and they said, if your such a petrol head why don't you buy a sports car like an Elise or Caterham etc

I'm glad I'm not the only one whos gone a bit that way over the car.

[Alex]

looks great, glad you removed them go faster stripes

£3800 but i suppose it was 6 year ago, i was looking though a 2002 total bmw mag and there were 316i e36's for 8k

£3800 but i suppose it was 6 year ago, :

I beat them down to £3,750 with a full service, fresh MOT, new brake disks and an imobiliser. It came with a full service history, every MOT, every service receipt and 55k on the clock. It only has 74K now

what brand immobiliser was fitted and is it still working

She's a lovely old beast Paul. A proper car.

I'm another that is totally ott over a car that most would consider old scrap. I ordered a proper fitted cover for it the other day to the tune of £120

[Jhonno]

Where from Dave?

Do love my e30 also.. She's a bit of a turd, council as fook, but great fun when you give it a spanking down some good roads.

Only thing i'd replace it with is an Z3/4M Coupe

I went for the monsoon one even though the car is garaged (with a leaky roof!)

It's a top car you have there. It's a late one with some nice bits on it! I've seen it change over the years on the zone and I'm glad you are still smitten.

Did you remove the side skirts and colour code the sills?

[ROC]

Cotty, what suspension are you using please? drop looks just right.

Cheers,

Rich.

No it was running without the side skirts in the first photo for a year. The black plastic SE skirts were re-fitted recently for a photo shoot

Its KW with a 60/40 drop.

I was toying with the idea of removing the side sills on mine - bloody rust traps.

Cotty, I have always had a soft spot for your car! I like the Hartge stripes on it and when I first saw it decided I wanted a set of Hartge wheels like yours to.

Now I just will have YOUR Hartge Wheels!

robbo86 check out Total BMW January 2009 edition

[maddogg]

I would love to find one just like that...

[robbo86]

You didnt get it in there did you? Jammy sod!

[robbo86]

All the more reason to steal your wheels then!

Nice one!

[FreddieS]

Must admit your touring does look rather stunning.

Kind of wish I went for a touring, hell, I lie, I REALLY wish I went for a touring

[DieselMeister]

Love your touring. 325i E30 T is imo one of the few ideal "only" car scenarios (i.e. birsk / practical / fun to drive enough that you're never in the "wrong" car)

[GrindCulture]

Tourings do rock to be honest.

[DRIFTBOY]

Nice one Paul, 'tis a lovely looking Touring.

I'll always remember your car on our Le Mans trip, it looked and sounded superb!
