Those BMW Service booklets look like pornography

[RustyRuss]

Haha they are indeed mate....especially when you open the service book to see 25 of these..... pass the tissues!!!!

[ah]

You done well there, nice old oem car,be nice if it stayed that way,although a set of bbs wheels wouldn't go a miss,again well done mate.

[povertyspec]

thats the lowest number of relays and fuses ever fitted to a fuse box!!! fewer optional extras = less weight = more speed.

[Automaton]

Brilliant find, love the no electronics, injectors and electrickery of it too.

Thanks mate much appreciated indeed. Uou know how much a purist I am so 100% standard is the only way - so much so ive ordered from BMW a new set of wheeltrims as the original ones have a few marks on them The cars not trying to be anything other than what it is so wheeltrims it shall stay Hope you are well.

Haha cheers mate, have to agree - the car nips along remarkably well and is silky smooth - the gearchanges are absolutely like silk

[RustyRuss]

Brilliant find, love the no electronics, injectors and electrickery of it too.

Cheers mate, much appreciated indeed Love your 316 too Not many of us M10 Carb boys about!

[AndyZippy]

Absolute beauty! I get your love of the basic spec, such a clean car, top stuff!

[RustyRuss]

Thanks Andy mate much appreciated indeed The lack of spec is really charming and what makes it for me. Hope you are well.

I had an identical car to this, F966STR although it was an M40 auto not an M10. It looked identical to yours but as an 89 moddl it had standard PAS, front EW and CL. Very pleasant it was too.

What a stunning e30, i wish i could appreicate the e30s here in South Africa, even though i see 10 a day all are beyond repair.

Superb Andy, sounded a lovely car! Cant be many base models left now with less than no spec! Theres a certain light airy feel to the base autos they just seem to effortlessly glide along. If you have any pics of the old gal when you had it id love to see them!

Thanks Alex much appreciated I can remember a time when you saw dozens of e30s daily here, sadly no longer - although I did see a silver touring last night in Edinburgh

Stunning mate but aren't the rear lights from a facelift?

[325ftmfw]

this thing is amazing.. love the original hubcaps in mint condition.

if only it wasnt the slug of the bunch

It is a facelift. There are a few facelift 316's on E & F plates that were built before the M40 powered 316i came in.

[Obz112]

Aaaah ok tnx for that info!
