Got a load more shiney bits for it, including a new washerbottle which for some reason doesnt fit as well as the original one :? it touches the 318is coil pack. :mad: Also got a new spark plug cover as mine was just painted with touch up pen which has now worn off, also got a new timing chain tensioner, e30 door lock service kit, little pulg for fog lights, a few door bump trims as two of mine has gone all discoloured and faded and i cant get them to look as good as the others. also a few other bits and pieces, filter for washer bottle etc

Got some replica dealer numberplates on the way and ive got a cruise control kit for it 8)

Things on the list are to get inlet and rocker cover powder coated and injectors ultrasonically cleaned

was on parts auction for £6 and since my drivers door only locks on dead locks and is a bit stiff i thought i would give it a try, it looks like the whole lock mechanism in a bag :)

Yup, miss the e30 scene. Wouldnt dream of owning one here. You wouldnt be able to leave it anywhere without it being stolen.

Plus theyre all totally fucked. Rust free but shagged.
