Hello! I would like to introduce myself on this E30 forum. My name is Denis, I am an 18 years old boy from Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania (No , I am not that type of Romanian that likes to stole people's pockets in big cities from Europe :D ). I am the happy possesor of an E30 316i from 1988 that I bought in 2019 when I was 16 years old from Germany, Beriln. I solved all the rust problems and the engine problem with a very noisy ticking sound. The camshaft was the problem. I would really like to show you my car, and tell me what you think about it's condition and looking. I also would really enjoy to see yours down below with some specifications also! :bmw:

Thank you! I didn't paint it myself because I don't have a painting cab, and all the tools necesary for a good paintjob. The color is Estoril Blue. I will add here some more pictures with the entire process of restoration.

Thank you man! The next big thing after this Estoril Blue paint will be a 6 cylinder engine swap, a 24V one. I will do a lot more research and decide what engine is the best for power and also not twisting my 316i drive-train :D .
