Leather, i'am not expecting much i expect gear changes to be like stirring soup, and woolly steering and suspension.

last owner has had it since 2000

I assume it's earmarked for yours? That or grey sports are the only changes i'd make to the spec or mine now. Hope it's not been too neglected!

ive paid a good deposit so its earmarked mine

Will take some pics tomorrow, might wash it on the way home at a garage jet wash, cant bring it home because my mother will hit the roof if she sees another car so its going to my lockup until i can break the news slowly during a conversation, preferably when she has had a few drinks.

[Dezzy]

Cheap enough!

485,000 miles !!

[e301988325i]

My '89 E32 has about 298'000 miles - the head's never been off and it's on the original clutch. I took the front timing covers off last year to sort an oil leak and put a new timing chain and tensioner blade on for good luck - I needn't have bothered. It's always had regular oil changes and the engine is as clean as a whilstle inside. It uses no oil and does what it did 23 years ago, as a properly made and expensive car should.

what engine, auto or manual?

[Dezzy]

You home yet Alex?

Any good?

[Alex]

I'am unsure what to do with it at the moment.

Needs following work and this is just a quick glance may be hiding more may not.

2x jacking Pads
2X new front wings
one patch on passengers side inner arch
and one small bit of welding near rear light.
and a small patch where they all go above where brake line enters engine bay

Never drove an e30 thats felt so tired and fooked in my entire life to be honest.

Steering was perfect, as was the whole front end but the rear end is very interesting, gearchanges when on the throttle give a good kick to the rear suspension. Gearstick is like stiring soup although i expected that to be honest.

to be honest its a pretty honest car, original stereo still fitted, owner i bought it off was in his 60s and had it since 1999

Slight problem with the running when cold, missfires coughs and splutters, also runs at just over the blue marker not even quarter, my mate following said it stunk of fuel when i gave it the beans, i assume that will be it overfueling thinking its cold.

headlining shagged, not saggy but dirty and split.

original floormats still present.

Stacks of history and stamped service book till last year.

tappets loud, more tax than advertised, 2 keys, every single tax disk and mot. and its the only e30 ive had with projector lights that actually work shit wiper blades, has head light wash wipe but wipers have been took off for some strange reason, looking through the history, its had new brake lines and brake hoses recently, along with new windscreen.

Accelarator as stiff as the clutch pedal

also has a map light mirror which is a bonus.

My theory is

New accelator cable, Two wings, some welding and a fooking good clean, some decent used gear linkage and prehaps some new bushes on the rear end and it should be a decent chariot. no perfect e30 but usable. Seems a hell of alot quicker than the shagged sport i had. once the se skirts and carpet is out i will know better on its future







Woops my foot slipped


bit of Proding with the keys


Again used my keys strangely the other side is really good

Maybe someday Alex, you might get lucky and buy a car that needs nothing doing to it

Haa that would be boring

there isnt a single e30 out there that i would buy and not change something or want to do something to it.

We shall see with this one, might just be frag yet.

[Rav335uk]

If you frag it, let me know, I see one or two things on there I need.

[Alex]

your not having the lights there going on my 318i as they aim right

[Rav335uk]

Nope, not the lights

[Alex]

Must be the bottletops then

[Rav335uk]

Let me know when you decide and i'll pm you what I need mate.

[Alex]

[pacerpete]

Get it jacked up at the back, that MIGHT have an LSD ! Looks and by the sound of the initial autopsy , seems like frag to be honest

[Alex]

it goes sideways easily however the bottletops probably do that

[Dezzy]

That looks like Frag from here!

[bss325i]

Got a close up of the radio, looks a touch too new for '89.

+1 on the frag front.
