E30 M50'd Tourer
Moderator: martauto
Well she lasted the week.. the running problem is getting worse and John thinks it may be fuel related somehow. She doesn't always start first time and when she does start, she rattles the tits off the engine and we've started to notice that it backfires through the airfilter. Not gonna bother trying to fix her now as she'll be getting her new engine soon hopefully.
Anyhow few sceney pics.
We did clean her once but where we were staying was country single track roads so was pointless.

I'm a huge supporter of the Status Error (http://www.statuserror.co.uk) guys so as they've brought out some new designs, I thought I'd get a couple of purple ones.. to which, my dear friend gave me a new sparkly one. Friends were always moaning that the purple sparkly one on my rear window was too sparkly so I changed it for my orange sparkly one and they've not moaned since.
Here's what they look like (It looks pink but it's actually purple)
& my zone stickers
Also, she's hopefully getting a new heart soon

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure people have made bigger mistakes in reflections in photo's without realising it 
Well my baby is no more. I had an accident and the firemen decided to turn my Touring into a Convertible 
I'm now on the lookout for another car.. and I'm not allowed an E30 for a daily.

My partner doesn't want to watch what he saw last again hence me not allowed another. I'm considering a 5series touring instead.
I hit a peugeot head on just after a corner, she appeared out of nowhere. I wasn't racing, going fast or anything either.

Gem - nooooooo. Please let us know you're OK. Poor you, poor car
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is
As far as I'm aware, the other driver walked away unhurt.
No-one looked at the car far as I'm aware, I was taken out and off to hospital.
I have back problems and at the time, my neck was hurting alot so the firemen chopped my roof off.craigieeb wrote:Fek!!

I might still go along yet, finish work at 11 so will miss out the practice rounds n get there for finalsWhat's the plans for the new one then?
Say hi if you do, would be nice to meet you
Finals start at 1.
Not sure yet, borbet's are definitely going back on, need to get my 2 9js dipped and sorted out so they can go on as well. Think it's just going to be a case of tidying up and it's a weekend car else it's pointless having my 530D.
