Hello everyone! I have been an e30 owner for a while now, and I thought that it was time for me to share some pictures of my 1984 323i here.

Lovely looking early car :)

So what colour is that? My failing eyes/laptop see it as dark green!

Thanks, the car is Delphin Metallic. I live on the Swedish west coast.

I don't have any pictures from the inside for you right now, but I will try to upload some pictures of the inside when I get home this weekend.

Haha thanks! I'm trying to keep it as clean as possible, and yes, heated seats is great when the car is freezing cold a winter morning. I thought all cars had heated seats hehe... And the AC works for the hot summer days!

Really nice to hear that you think it's in good condition, since I think I bought it for cheap (3600 euros). And not that rusty underneath! Now, I don't have a sunroof, which can be nice, but I guess that's alright since I don't have to worry about rust up there.

Do you guys have pictures posted of your car(s)?

102,00 miles, so just over 160,000 kilometers.
I've owned it since it was just over 4 years old.

Yeah I really hope that you get it running! What's the problem with it? Just got mine running again after a couple of months, feels great.

Problem with it is it has been off the road since I parked it up in '98, just about everything on it will need going over but it will be worth it as it is one of the first E30s breathed on by Alpina
