Hi, thanks for the add to the group.

I am currently on the lookout for a tidy e30, preferably something like a 325 cab or sport, ultimate would be a c2 2.7 but unlikely sadly.

I started my BMW journey in 1995 with a brilliant red 318is that I kept for 10 years selling it to make way for an e46 330ci sport in Imola red (still wish I had kept the 318is as well).

Along the way I had an Estoril blue F31 320d xdrive for about a year but swopped that for an F31 340i mperformance in individual ruby red. I managed to keep the 330 for another year or so but eventually I sold it as I needed the space.

I've always had at the back of my mind that the E30 was the best of the bunch - the others are great cars but nothing as pure as the e30.

Hoping I haven't left it too late to get a decent one but I'm enjoying the search.

sounds like you have a good history with bmw's.

as for the e30? well this is one of the biggest e30 forums around so you're in the right place.

What model are you looking for? I'll keep an eye out

[DJ340]

Thanks, the ideal would be a 325 sport or a cab and the preference would be red with leather and a manual

Hi rix313 Will have to dig some old photos out of the 318is, they are all 'proper' photos from the days before we all went digital. I know I have some from the Harewood concourse in the late 1990's.

Absolutely Mart, no better place to be!!

Yeah, have kept an eye on it over the years, it sold in 2019 for about 6k, had been with an advanced driving instructor for quite a few years up until that point.
Had about 120k when I sold it in 2005 so about 100k more over the past 15 years. Good to see its still around, was a great car
