hi Fiona

not sure about 240 bhp, but as said above it should be above 200bhp, more about 210-220bhp

looks like a nice tidy car

welcome to the endless asking for pictures of your self too :roll:

More than likely.
Welcombe to the zone on behalf of the mods.
Your car sounds quite an introduction to E30 ownership!

Im not sure as never had an E30 so dont really know about what BHP they should get, thanks dont want to be telling people its 240bhp when it could only be 200!

its all new to me as I have owned Astra Gte's ( 16v ), golf VR6, corrado ( hated it ! ) and XR2's etc. but new to BMW!

Nice choice there 8)

Wont be knocking out 240bhp unless your using bar horse power figures, but should be pushing 210 if its been done properly

Looks great with the Motorsport coloured rims
