325i Sport for under 5 grand! delivered....

[Simon13]

/\ that wouldn't be hard.

[mabz]

looks nice mate look forward to the before and after pics. i bet your over the moon is this your 1st e30?

[capri_rob]

I'm really liking the positive messages going to the buyer. 6 months back this thread would've been littered with all sorts of negative jive that the car would be rotten and will fall to pieces if used.

The primary reason it's not as this appears to be a well sorted car and wasn't cheap.

Let's hope we've stopped chasing newbies away.

Carry on.....

Agreed - most newbies arrive with sub £1k sh1tters and then disappear again a few weeks later when the standard E30 horrors are pointed out to them

It would be nice for a change to see that what looks a nice car does in fact turn out to be just that.

Thanks mate, it's my 2nd E30, had one 7 years ago, sold it and regretted it big time! Currently driving the E90 330i Mtech 07 4 door.

Good luck with it

[sunnyr83]

Hope it turns out to be less rotten than mine

Good luck.

[pukar]

good luck mate, that is virtually the same as my sport auto, but mine is dolphin grey, with the same interior...

hope it is a good'un

oh, and before splashing out money on stuff like BK reps, just ask the question.....you'll get a lot of stick, but usually some good advice. genuine alpinas are lush, the BBS are nice on uneven roads though.

that selling price makes me feel good

I'll go for genuine Alpina's, won't risk anything else...7j's all round or staggered?? I need to have a look at some photos of the staggered set up vs the 7J all round before I make my decision.

[blackE30indy]

everyone would say staggered,but getting a mint set
Would probably set you over £800 tbh

[pukar]

staggered

keiran mighty have a photo

[Riz325is]

staggered

Sweet...thanks for the advice mate

[blackE30indy]

Pic of mates car on staggered set up,hope he don't mind

[kieran325]

Staggered set





7's



Sorry I had to post pics

[kieran325]

I'm off to the naughty corner before I start posting more

[blackE30indy]

Ha ha,you go Do that

[Topblag]

Staggered if you can get them, be quick, they don't hang around.

[senna]

Or Genuine 17" 4 x 100 Alpinas FTW

[Rav335uk]

I won't post my Staggered Alpina set up.

[blackE30indy]

Do it now

[kieran325]

I won't post my Staggered Alpina set up.

Can I post it instead, go on please.

[Riz325is]

More pics of the 325i Sport now parked up at my house....getting ready for a closer inspection & stripping





Let me know what you lads think....

[Riz325is]

Staggered makes the difference....I've seen 18's on a 325i Sport and they look sick!

[Fal_325i]

Looks very nice, but from past experience I would never buy a car from Chesham , does look nice though and a nice colour, with is being an auto its probably not been as abused as a manual version.

[blackE30indy]

You won't enjoy the ride on 18's,would drive like crap also

[Riz325is]

I won't post my Staggered Alpina set up.

Post them pleeeeeeeeese!

[Riz325is]

I know, people keep telling me this! Probably going to wait a bit and see what to do after I've had the car stripped and inspected first.

I took a chance mate...lets see if it pays off! Like you said, being an auto chances are its been 'looked after'

[blackE30indy]

I would say,that's the best bet

[Gert_8]

That doesn't look like Malawi to me!!

Is this going to be garaged? I feel it may get nicked out on the street.

[Riz325is]

That's my house in Leicester!! I'm in Malawi....as I have businesses out here!

After 2 weeks of stripping, detailing and works on any unforeseen issues the car will be containerised and shipped to Malawi where the sun shines all day long....and we dont have rust issues here!! and it will be kept safely in a garage so that the sun doesn't burn the body work and crack the dash. Temps out here get as high as 40 degrees +

[Riz325is]

I would say,that's the best bet

This is the 17'' set up....



And this is the 18'' set up....



18's are a touch much...I wouldn't mind the 17's though...
