[Ollie_bwoii]

Nice one! Hope to see you on the road some time!

Are you going for a smiliar look too your 320i? Or are you going for new wheels, interior etc...

[Rav335uk]

Good one mate, what did you do to the other one???

[Ollie_bwoii]

Someone ran into the back of the silver 320i rav!

[Rav335uk]

Someone ran into the back of the silver 320i rav!

I knew that from the last meet I met Dave at.
Wondered if he'd broke it??

[dave318]

ollie~ will be going for the same look as the old one interior ect the wheels i have to wait till there on before i decide to keep them or not.

rav~ the other one just made its last 200 mile journey my dad drove it back. and is now going to be fragged once i have raided it for all my bits.

just noticed the ebay add is still up

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-BMW-320I-GRE ... 286.c0.m14

[Rav335uk]

Is that the one you bought, add should be taken off!!.
Good buy mate.
Looks like there minimal work involed to get it ready for POD.

[Ollie_bwoii]

That does look very nice, bar the wheels! And will look even better when you have put your nice bits on it!

[dave318]

i think his mate listed it for him i have only been in ownership for 3 hours.
he wanted a grand got it for 850
i have many days off in the next few weeks so all shal be good ( fingers crossed )

[ImysE30]

Congrat's on the new purchase, looks nice from the ad

Your wheels will suit it perfectly

[poolnoodle]

Nice looking car, mate. Look forward to some pics of your progress

[dave318]

cheers for the comments guys its not too bad found small hole today the release bearing is not of good health. but thats about it.
i have a service kit sitting at work to be done tomorrow. the tech i spoiler is away at the body shop as is the is lip spoiler. the wheels will be off when my other 15 mm spacers are here.

any way heres some pics.

















and in the time i had after work today





and the shape of things to come for the other one






MODS FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS TO PHOTO GALLERY IF NECESSARY

[ImysE30]

Looking good

[capri_rob]

Those wheels are feckin hateful - need removing and hurling as far away as possible. Apart from that it looks a good motor - correct door to cylinder ratio , manual box and a decent E30 colour

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looks great! Shame about the old 320i, as it still looks awesome!

Question is which silver is nicer?

[barrymate]

think the wheels look alright i have motorsport wheels on my cabby they look the tits just maybe dont suit yours to much

[E30Gheko]

What's wrong with motorsport reps??

[E30Gheko]

to be honest I don't like them on most E30's. They look OK on mine, although I think 17's don't do much for the handling. The tyres are also crap offering zero grip in the wet. I didn't put mine on the car, and will probably change them at some point. The one redeeming feature is that mine are totally mint so at least they look nice...

[SLIMADI]

Looks nice fella hope you get it all sorted for the pod trip not long to go now

[gooner1]

Dave came round to show me his new toy yesterday, he,s like a kid at Christmas, bless him.
A very tidy car, at a very good price. Won,t be long till this is looking as good as he,s 320i.
He,s already discovered the arse twitching antics of a 325i, though the wheels and tyres
may have contributed to that.
Real shame about the 320i, was a decent motor, and very well looked after.

[chris_335]

them nasty rep sport wheels how much

[dave318]

Looks great! Shame about the old 320i, as it still looks awesome!

Question is which silver is nicer?

it hurts pulling the old one apart i wont have another one like that. i think that will always be my favoutite e30. as for the colour stirling all the way.


THE WHEELS ARE OFF NOW AND READY FOR EBAY OR OFFERS

been busy today with a under bonet steam clean swoped the rear suspension over amd put my wheels on.

tomorrow will be wheel alignment/geometry, and will start stripping interiors.

[SteMarsden]

Great colour! And I really like the look of it without a boot spoiler

[dave318]

busy again today got the wheel alignment and engine service done today removed the k&n got most of the interior swoped over - tech2 wheel, leather bits, rear cards and seats.

hopfully tomorrow the is lip and tech 1 spoiler will be back from the painters.

pic of how its sitting now.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looking great! Are you not going to put the hartge's on? IMO they are the nicer wheels!

[dave318]

they will be refurbed and are going to be my winter wheels. unless i could get the 16" concave hartge wheels.

[gooner1]

Looking good Dave, and personally think this one is an even better colour, more subtle.
If that makes sense.

[dave318]

cheers rob. your not the only one thats said that prob 8 or 9 people have said that.
still prefer stirling silver.

[fastdiablo]

Looks nice mate, look forward to seeing it in the flesh ! . . .

I'll get that mirror off and drop it in to you at work Friday if your about then . . .
