I am a new member from the U.S. I have just taken delivery of a 1993 318 Touring that was imported from Belgium.

I'm glad to be here and hope to be an active member. This is not my first E30, but it is my first Touring.

Almost looks like brilliant red. Looks really good. Hows the interior?

Rare for sure. Must be one of the youngest e30s then.

Welcome.

It's a 1993. The mtech red interior needs a little refreshment. I have the fabric ordered.

No time for more pictures. I am currently completely flumoxed by my current project: Addition of a cruise control.

I have done this to other e30's but this one is treating me badly. I have tried 2 different actuators, two different control boxes, checked and rechecked the harness, verified all of the connections (i.e. brake, clutch and speedometer) and I still can't get this to work.

I won't give up though.
