My 318is

[SR]

Hello fellow E30 owners. I'm on my fifth or sixth E30 having previously had 320's. This is my first 318is, it's near mint with leather interior and a definate keeper. Been doing odd jobs such as getting the foglights working and fixing juddering wipers, many thanks to people on the site for the help. I've seen on the site that there is a meet for E30 owners at Portsdown hill, when please?

Made a note on the calender of that. House move allowing, should be able to make that with my girlfriend in her 318is.
Fingers crossed for good weather.

nice looking is mate, another one in pompey

i really liked the look of it in red, but very glad ive got my black one now, look forward to seeing your car !

[SR]

Polsta, been looking at your pics, very nice too! I love black cars, my last car was a black Corvette, pig to keep looking clean though, red fades.....

[polsta]

be nice to see them together !!

i have a red xr3, so opted to not have 2 red cars , very very glad i got the black tho,i really love it

its the small touches i really like too, im just off to see zoner hongkongfuey , then off to snows on eastern rd to order a few parts ! quite cheap i was suprised, pedal rubbers £2.26, replacement 3g key fob case things £4.87, oil filter £7.81 ,


also they had triangle £11, 1st aid kit £22, wheel spanner £9 .....will these all be the exact same as what would of bene originaly on my car ? or newer versions do you think/know ??

[spook]

Polsta, if ya go to Snows do me a favour and ask em how much a proper battery is for my 6 pot

[inlovewithRWD]

Nice car mate. Really like these in red. Just needs the is lip spoiler and it'd be perfect.

[SR]

Ah Snows! The downfall of my finances! I spend as much on cars as I do on housing! I reckon I spent £20k on the Covette, sold it for under £4k. Actually found Snows prices not too bad, bought a few bits and bobs there, but they aren't car people I've found. I don't think the guy who served me there appreciated an E30. Looking forward to the meet a week tomorrow, hope the weather is better than today, jeez!

nice car SR, looking forward to seeing it on sunday.
i thought i recognised the reg. i saw you driving north along Milton Road in Cowplain on Thursday lunchtimeish (you wouldn't have seen me as i was in an old Audi coupe), so i tried to do a u-turn, but you'd gone (i'd never make a Police pursuit driver )
BTW: i have a red iS lip (genuine oe) for sale adi 07901 888019
Spook: i can get you an excellent (Banner) battery from GSF if you like mate, BMW fit them now apparently)

[SR]

Hi Adit. I was over my mum's when you saw me, I actually live on Hayling. Not sure about the lip spoiler, my girlfriends 318is has the lip spoiler and she's forever grazing it on kerbs. Hers is lowered though on 15". I have been tinkering on it for a couple of weeks now and got it pretty much up together and won't do anything more for the mo except enjoy driving it.

Nice Car...318is Are Much Nicer Then My 318i Auto Lol

[SR]

The three E30's. My 318is, my girlfriend Shelleys' 318is and my old, now sold on this site, 320. That 320 was used as my second car for the past five years, can't afford two cars now so am just running my is, and it's a cracker. Just been tinkering again and decided it could do with new sound deadening under the bonnet. Does anyone know if I can still get this?
Cheers.

[polsta]

have a look through the pics of my 318is i just bought, and there are pics of the bonnet underside, all looking as new, you can get the stuff ,im not sure where

i love the look of the red e30s, was my 1st choice originaly, but then decided as i have a red xr3, 2 red cars - hmmmm , glad ive got the black now,i do love it !

just off to my garage in a min to tinker myself with a cple of bits

ive put my xr3 in the garage for winter, just take it out for a drive once a week

where in the area do you live sr ?

[SR]

Hiya polsta. Not sure where the burnt down beach huts are but I live about half a mile from where the photo was taken on Hayling. Your car and mine look very similarly tidy. Just need to get the underbonnet sound deadening and sort the mirrors out!

[tonybtonyb]

TonyB, thanks for the kind words, pics don't do it justice, absolutely rot free, nice leather interior and over the past couple of weeks I've cured a few slight niggles so it all works!
