Hi you BMW E30 Fanatics! :)
I am kinda new to this forum, and I'm from Norway.
So I'm sorry for my bad English ^^,

After one and a half year in the search of an nice E30, I finaly found one!

About the car:

The car is a BMW E30 320iA Coupe with an ice blue paint (Gletcher Blau)
It hasn't ran more than 75 000 kilometers, with a documented service manual .
The car is originaly from Germany, it lived there from 1990 to 2005 when 2 Bmw enthusiasts took it into Norway.
I bought the car late September 2008!
I got all the papers on the car, since it was new :)
The last owners have taken good care of it.
The car have never seen snow, and you can tell just by looking at it!

Equipment on the car:

* Electric windows
* Electric mirrors
* Powersteering
* Shadowline lists
* Painted bumpers and mirrors
* Skibag etc.

My plans to the car:

* Coilovers
* New wheels!
* M Technik 2 body kit
* Black Hella DE
* Xenon kit to the Hellas
* MHW tail lamps

So tell me if you guys like it :)

Sorry for the bad photos! Better ones will come!! :D

That looks nice - and will look even better with the wheels and coilovers. Not sure if I would fit the body kit though - it looks pretty good without it - maybe just a body coloured IS front splitter? :P

By the way, those pink-lit dials are fabulous, honey.
