Heres my E30 ive just bought She was a bargain to with 10 months mot 2 months tax 117k and the most comprehensive service history i have had with a car



Its my 4th E30 but have owned lots of bmws in my driving career and before
and no there is no tarten blanket or beaded seat cover

Cirrus, moredoors and wheel trims.....winner.

Smell it and old moordoor in the title i was expecting something else.

What is it, a poverty-spec 316i with keep-fit windows, by the look of it?

ha ha close, its a 320i and those wheels had locking wheel nuts

can anyone guess how much i paid? I already love it more than our e39

[Speedtouch]

Nice, a proper sleek six-pot sleeper. I would hazard a guess at £600.

nope, £390 whole pounds, it was going to get the m52 i have for sale on here and stay looking pretty much the same but have seen the threads about the m30 and like that idea better now and so does my wallet


on another note i have been offered a baur for pitance no tax or mot but runs and drives and not rusty, is it a fragger?

[Speedtouch]

Bargain! That could make a proper sleeper with an M30B35 in, particularly if you keep the steelies and wheel trims. In the meantime, you could always chip the M20B20 for bit more poke.

If the Baur is saveable, save it, or sell it on.

Too many E30s getting fragged for the slightest bit of rust/damage, and they'll only ever go up in value.

Funnily enough ive been looking at your chips and may invest in the not to distant future

was thinking about getting some 15 inch steelies slightly banded (maybe an inch dish) and put the trims inside???

other thing is when did the facelift come in on e30s?

[Speedtouch]

Facelift came in in September 1987, on the E/F-reg (mostly F-reg, since August was the new registration month, but you do see the odd E-reg facelift).

Banded steelies with trims could look pretty smart.

[Smellit]

ah mine must just have got in for the facelift

heres the baur

[Speedtouch]

Looks OK, well worth saving.

[Smellit]

hes taken the back spoiler off an put an mtech 2 on aswell

[Speedtouch]

People always seem to spoil Baurs for some reason.

[BATTS91]

thats would be a cool sleeper but my vote is m52 lighter and better overall engine:)

agreed but i want a cheaper conversion and also want to keep it period correct if that makes sense, so nothing within reason newer than the car will go on.

[Smellit]

A little update, she has the little rubber spoiler on now aswel and the ceter caps are on the wheels (needed to be sanded/painted as were yellow?)
