Hi Guys &..... Girls?

Brand new E30 owner as from 24 hours ago, so new to this. Bought a 1992 318i Cab with Guernsey plates (ball ache for paperwork but low miles)

Anyway, it's got a few aftermarket mods, which I intend to remove and get the car back to stock.

It's Been lowered I think to 30, but I am unsure of the stock height, is it 45? Can anyone help?

They'll be up for sale too if youre interested, based in Manchester :roll:

Is it help with buying the right parts or help replacing the suspension you're looking for beemingalong?

well probably both I am ok with small engine maintenance but not something like this

- if someone wants a 4 sets of springs and a set of Alpina Alloys with almost new tyres (think they're reps) then they'll be on the market.

What size are the alpina reps? Depending on which version they are, it will determine the price. Dont be mugged off by someone on here telling you your 16" Alpina Rep isnt worth all that much :thumb:

Eight pounds each on the scrapmans scales. :D


Good to see an E30 being de-councilled and rescued and the proper suspension and wheels put on it.
