Well spotted Si, it is Dave's car.

I'll drop him a note

Indeed it is his (gazman)
Also notice the Sport and M3 the last 3 letters of the number plate are the same as they are both I think BMW GB Press cars.

Does anyone else have any reviews of E30 325i so we can collate all in 1 thread and then put on the Wiki

?

Not retro but still cool. Anyone know these cars?

Is it me but you hardly ever hear of someone doing a 2.7 conversion these days

Post Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:17 pm

Shame by the looks of it the M3 died in 1999

Jimbo what exhausts do you have on your E30s ?
Do you have any Scorpions or Powerflows

?

Post Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:34 pm

325i zausts are Scorpion, Powerflow, OEM, BTB and another Scorpion (I think)

BTB - Its like a spitfire flying overhead

Scorpion next - I have a spare full system you are welcome to borrow, fit and see if you like it. You would need to collect though and return.

Post Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:46 pm

What about the Powerflows ? How do they sound ?
Does the scorpion fit properly ?
I just want something L O U D

Post Sat Oct 25, 2014 10:48 pm

I don't really know much about them to be honest. If you want loud, get a standard old second hand system and cut some holes in it.

Was going through some of my magazines to look something up and since they was out I thought I may scan some of them.

I did the best I could without creasing/ damaging them.
