Hi everyone. Im new into bmw oldtimers with our 91 e30 cabriolet with the m20b20 engine.

Apart from that i still own my first car (opel manta b1)

My wife and i were looking for a sporty 4 seater cab for cruisin with the kids and there were’nt much options except for the great e30 model.

We had a deal on a 316i baur but the deal went off...

Then after checking out 6 other e30 cabs, we fell in love with this beauty.



Already scored some missing interior parts. And now looking to repair the sturdy tacho cluster.
After that it need some small cosmetic enhancement but overall its pretty nice. No showroom but a car to be driven just like we want.

Grts!

Welcome to the zone mate, great looking car you have there too !!
Pop an advert in the "Wanted" section as there are a few people on here who may have spares etc.

Mart.
Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.

Welcome. As a resident of Belgium throughout the 80s and early 90s, this brings back a few memories!

Cool you must have seen a lot of these cars in that time. Where did you live in Belgium then?

Thx. Im trying to search the parts as local as possible.
Im in need of the trunk carpet left side. But for a cab its hard to find. Mine is cut in half for a new antenna.
Maybe a coupe or sedan will fit also with some minor adjustments?

Thx we love it too

The e30 its just a model that is sporty and has attitude. Just the way it is... even without rims and spoilers
and the that sound... Of the 6 inline.

Ours is factory with some cool options. Grey sport leather interior with heated seats. Mtech steering wheel.
Mtech suspension.
15 inch bbs
Shadowline.

Yep, saw many E30s back in the day - it's why I wanted to get one myself (nostalgia). I lived mainly in the Vlaams-Brabant area.
