hi im new just bought an e30 333im sport alpina

[Rav335uk]

Alpina inlet fanimould too, alpina vent gauges, nice.

[davpkav]

nice i like it
with work this could be a looker

Agreed, it's lovely.

However...I do find it quite funny that who ever owned it before didn't really look after it (or so it seems, no MOT etc....) but bothered to put new 'M' badges on it? Go figure...

[bmwsport]

Very

I like it. Surely this is worth 3k? Decent engine, proper Alpina + super rare. I'd rather have this than some equivelent snotter of a 325i (common as muck) sport. How can a sport be worth 6k+ when real rarities like this are being valued for less than the car scrappage scheme handout

[e30topless]

i think it looks great,
but that pic of the rot on the rear panel is very scary , IMO the rear inners are long gone

[blackE30indy]

With a bit of work,it would look great

What pic?

he's mistaken it for the front wing. easy replacement.

still cant see how that wing can be so gubbed and the rest of it clean though, i'm betting there are some horrors lurking on that car. that said it does look nice.

[dano0]

i think you would have to save the shell as trying to find another shell that colour would be hard
i think price wise would depend on inner and outer sill condition

[Ollie_bwoii]

And what panel is that..........

[The_Diddler]

How old are the pictures??

Is it running, i only ask as i cant spot a coolant header tank in the bay, plus what looks like a rad top hose doesnt appear to connect to anything...

Looks like air-con as well, although the pipe feeding the compressor looks like its been cut as it drops down past the coil.

What year is it, interior pattern cross hatch design is circa 82/83 to 85 i think.

Will make a hell of a resto project this..........

[Blitz]

This defiantly deserves a resto. Its one of the rarest E30's around.

[Ollie_bwoii]

Is it running

Looking at the clocks.....it is.

Photo's can be very deceiving, that pipe must be connected, at least i know what a rusty front wing look like Steve......................

[Cypriotgeeza]

Im embarrased to say i didnt even know a 333 E30 existed

good find there mate..wish you all the luck in the resotration!

[bss325i]

but bothered to put new 'M' badges on it? Go figure...

The M badges are standard on this model.

A £6k sport will be mint with no issues and low mileage with FSH.

This is a corpse on a stretcher in need of a resto!

I wouldn't have thought you would Paul, I mean you missed an oportunity to defend more doors over 2 door there....

SLACKING!

[333i]

had it on the ramp and floor inner and outer sills are fine only thing is a very good patch had been welded on the rear flloor and thats all i can find rear arches are a little bit flakey but a quick rub down and rust proof will be fine

[DanThe]

I seriously doubt he will be restoring it, its not even worth restoring IMO. Just wait till that carpet comes out...

[town325i]

Im guessing the header tank is in the position where the battery was when its fitted under the bonnet

[333i]

yes it is running and i took it for a good 5km drive today pics were taken this afternoon at my workshop yes it has aircon no pipes are cut and all works top hose is connected lol

[davpkav]

but bothered to put new 'M' badges on it? Go figure...

The M badges are standard on this model.

Very


I didn't say they weren't standard...I said they were new

[bss325i]

Im guessing the header tank is in the position where the battery was when its fitted under the bonnet

Nope, should be in exactly the same place as a prefacelift 325i, above the ex manifold next to the O/S/F strut tower.

cant remember exactly where the header tank it but its deffo there thinks it drivers side near strut top

[Cypriotgeeza]

so are you thinking of restoring it?

[bss325i]

I didn't say they weren't standard...I said they were new

How do you know they are new?

[333i]

I didn't say they weren't standard...I said they were new

How do you know they are new?

lol well if 25 years old is new they yeh lol

[333i]

so are you thinking of restoring it?

hopefully but not too sure as yet as im now unemployed and need to think of my kids first

[333i]

Im embarrased to say i didnt even know a 333 E30 existed

my mum always sed u got nothing good to say SHUT THE FUCK UP

[davpkav]

I didn't say they weren't standard...I said they were new

How do you know they are new?

lol well if 25 years old is new they yeh lol

They look new (IMHO)...no rounded edges or fading from washing, polishing etc

The M stripe decal behind the 333i badge isn't faded and i doubt very much that that is new.

[davpkav]

Yeah....I guess you are right.

I will have to find out what the previous owner/s washed/polished it with. I have just bought some new ones for mine, they were looking a bit tatty. Bl**dy Meguires cr*p.

[The_Diddler]

A different shot of the bay from the internet, header tank positioned in the battery spot

[Rav335uk]

Theres an Alpina M30 inlet manifold in the For Sale Section.

[jbh]

must admit she dont look to bad but does need tlc and is worth restoring but its just what else is hidden and cantbe seen..

has any one undersealed it?
