Hello all,new to this forum.Washed the old girl today,so thought i would take a few shots & see if i could post them on here.

I am genuine old school as 40+,grown up family etc,always wanted a 325i,so when this one came up for sale in cornwall over 12 months ago i had to have it.

Have been in the motor trade many years,so i knew the E30 was pretty bullit proof.

I dident realize the Touring was such a sought after model with the younger generation,always thought it looked good.plus practical.

Anyway, 155000,143000 when i got it & still sweet,mim 7.5*15 with 195/65/15 to give it slightly taller gearing.

So why dident the pic come up then ? what i done wrong.

Seems to work now.

I got those rims from Milber salvage, do you think Ԛ£50 was to much,with 2 useable tyres. winkeye

I think it may have been the image url you used was too long
I hosted it on www.imageshack.us with a shorter filename and it worked

well Paul dont know you i dont think but pleased to meet/speak you anyway!
If you see me floating about anytime flag me down,would be good to meet!
PS if you need anything for your car,im breaking a 320iSE(2dr) if you need anything,cheaper than Milber(but going by the price of your wheels i dont think i should say that)

O.K eko,cant be many black e30 318is with black grille in Newton.

I clocked your removal just as you were pulling out,must admit you did look a bit pi**ed.hope your rims were ok. Its that sort of situation that my tow bar has multi usage :D

I presume your in 20,s ? whats the inshurance like for e30,s.even for an old bu**er like me it cost Ԛ£286 T/P/F/T

Do you work local ?
