Jim ....

I can't believe my eyes

You bought another E30 325i Sport!!!!

I do love Diamond Black

Looks cool as fuck just needs a really good detail to bring back to life

And looks gangster innit

I was going to say loving the fact is maybe original BMW Park Lane. However, seems like the BMW Service Booklet reg does not match the actual reg

If you want New Genuine BMW Park Lane key fob, tax disc holder, rear window sticker, number plates I might be able to get you some New ones. I have some for the CS :-)

Can double check spec, original BMW Dealer etc from vehicle information line

I think full autosopsy, full Inspection II, all belts, water pump, LSD rebuilt, go over cooling system, brakes and nearly there. Hopefully no rust. I do like this colour very rare for Tech1s and looks so much better than boring Lachs Silver, Dolphin Grey. Bring to Surrey meet.

Thanks Pony, yes all VIN numbers match on the car, V5 and BMW docs + website, maybe a change of plate at some stage???

See you soon

Pleased to see a new fuel pump, rear beam bushes, cam belt + tensioner, battery, front calipers, all brake hoses, discs, pads , brake fluid, engine mounts, clutch cylinder +fluid all done in the last 6k miles

And a new fuel tank in the boot :)

Result !!

It's really interesting reading back through all the history.

Yer, i think about it a lot at the moment.....dunno why, just looking forward to getting it on the road for a while.

I've only driven it once and seen it twice since i bought it in August. :( not happy with that to be honest.

I read through the service history last night. It doesn't need even an oil change, MOT until 12 Aug 15 (my 15 year wedding anniversary) , service was done inc cam belt recently. It's got a couple of areas of surface rust though.

So the plan is to tax it in the new year. I'll give it a thorough inspection 2, strip the brakes to clean and check everything over ready for April and drive it about as the summer daily next year.

When the MOT runs out i'll catch the last bit of the summer to strip it to a bare shell for welding etc before it turns too cold. I know it's a 6 week job so if i start mid Aug then it will be done for end of Sept. Paint and rebuild to follow with a view to having it finished early 2016 for the summer again.
