Thought I'd join in!

Just picked up this little beauty, 90,000 on the clock full S/H from the dealer (apart from one from a local specialist) even dealer tyres! anthracite headlining, mint leather (even the drivers) no sunroof and it drives like an absolute gem.. my third manual 323i and this is by far the most pokey and smoothest.. it drives like a new car! no rot anywhere either.. rear arches are a thing of beauty!
anyway.. pics..

Nice

Has the E30 gone now then?

[Tom_Maverick]

yup.. bought by someone on here (can't for the life of me remember his name.. ) still looking for a calypso E30 shell to do terrible things to but I needed a daily.. and that polo (I bought a 1.0 polo for a bit of fuel economy) was drrrrrreeeeadful.. so I replaced it with this

[Jhonno]

I have a nice M50 manifold that'd suit that..

Looks purdy... Not sure I could settle for the 323i over a 328i though.

I may well be in touch soon then!

I was looking at 328i's but I've two friends who run them (one manual and one auto vert) and the fuel economy as a daily is bloody terrible.. whereas my lovely old 323i saloon

(god rest her soul) was great on fuel and this one seems even better! punchy enough, quick, silent and kinda unassuming.. I like it.. sadly I don't think I'll ever have another E30 as a daily..

[martauto]

Looks great in blue and on those rims as well(32`s?)

Mart.

Nice coupe, love the colour combo.
What are the plans for this?

[Tom_Maverick]

Thanks!

Well, I've just ordered some coilovers and I'm looking for some ac schnitzer type 2's.. That and a stainless exhaust is about it I think! It's too nice to mess with!

[Topblag]

Chips has a calypso 3 door for sale on here, comes with a 4.0 V8 setup.....

[Tom_Maverick]

Really?! I'm off to look for that then!

Oh and how did the wheel centres get on?

[bss325i]

Tidy looking coupe and with the optional sports package.

Weird steering wheel though, never seen one of them before!

Ta muchly,
strangely it's possibly the most economical BMW I've possibly ever owned there is definitely something to be said for regular dealer servicing and decent tyres!

What coilovers have you ordered?

[Tom_Maverick]

they are from Tracer

thought I'd take advantage of the offers sent through from Tunershop (20% off) and I've heard good things from a mate who bought some off the bay and is running them on a vert..

Could have sold you some Intrax ones for that.. 2nd hand, but they are the nuts

details?.. they've only just been ordered.. I could just mail and tell them some old stuff..

[Jhonno]

Intrax RS coilovers.. Done about 15k I think. They are ~£1300 new, come with adjustable top mounts.

Intrax are one of the "daddies" of suspension.

I had a boston green 323i coupe a few years ago and imo they are a nice car, not as quick as a 328i but not all that far off either.

and a stainless exhaust is about it I think! It's too nice to mess with!

OEM 328i system FTW. Good upgrade and sounds great


The wheels you have are style 32's, they do them with some dish too in 17" or 18"

These are 18" flavour.

[Jhonno]

Those are the 5/8 Series fitment ones though...

E36's look the nuts nice and low on decent wheels

[leeparkes]

Those are the 5/8 Series fitment ones though...

When has that ever stopped anyone.

See my pic.. It hasn't. Esp in the last few years

[harry_p]

i'de love some 18in low offset style 32s. you could pick a decent set up for £100 a couple of years ago, not seen any bargains for ages

dan, your intrax don't have the arb location tabs on the fronts do they ? (i.e m3 fit... )

[Tom_Maverick]

That does look rude... I'm just going to keep a beady eye on the bay and see what turns up! And the down she goes.. Need me a 328i system too... Should really join an E36 forum but I just can't be arsed..

[bss325i]

Have just fragged a 328i sport if yout after some bits.

Got a 328i exhaust with sebring back box.

[terry_e30]

I've just shelled out on suspension and I'm looking for some style 5's but I may be in touch

[andrew_baran]

Set of style 5s at the moment in 8 series fitment - painted all black - on ebay - would look the nuts on your car. Get them bought!!! Also, sebring backboxes look cool. Nice looking car though, needs an M3 splitter on the front!

[bss325i]

The Sebring is now sold.
