Lovely car mathieud60, I know you wrote you live in the north but the 83 registration is the Var isn't it? Don't see many good E30s around there at all!
Thanks mate. I live in the North of France (in Oise actually - 50 kilometers north of Paris). When my grand father moved to the Var back in 1993, he took the BMW there so this is the reason why my car is registered in this region at the moment. I do not plan to change it because I would have to put the new registration plates and it would not fit my car at all. E30s with black registration plates look so much better. Many E30s in this part of France look pretty crappy mostly because of the sun (I do not have such a problem where I live since it's raining most of the time...

). My grand-father didn't use this car that much (around 30,000 kilometers in 10 years...) so it remained stored in a garage this is mainly why it hasn't suffered neither from sun nor from rust.

Et bienvenue sur le Zone. J'habite en France (Dept 16) aussi, mais je suis anglais ;)
C'est super de voir des francophones ici! Merci pour ton message et peut-être à bientôt sur les routes françaises ou lors d'un meeting organisé par E30 Passion, un forum français que je te conseille également. Bonne route à toi l'ami Anglais!

Merci beaucoup! French is a pretty hard language to learn so don't worry about your mistakes. That was a good try actually!
