Hey.

Here is my e30 325i touring.
When i got it, it was 320i but i didn't like the way of that engine..
Needs fuel like a six cylinder engine, but runs like a four cylinder engine.
So i bought 2,5litres engine, and now i like it much better.
I'm waiting for my new rims, but i should get them next week. Can't wait.
But here's some pictures. My english skills are limited, so i maybe write some
words wrong.

hello and welcome to the 'zone!

your tourer looks nice. do you have any more pictures?

i had a 325i touring but like you felt the need for more power so converted it to a 335i! ;)

i really wouldn't worry about your english, it's a lot better than a lot of the 'locals' on here! :cool:

The car is almost basic, i have only changed the steering wheel. As you can see i have four head rest in my car and original sportseats. I also have air conditioning. I've been looking for full M_Tech II bodykit, but those are hard
to find. And the prices of those are huge here in finland.

I have now added the pics to photopucket, and now the link should work..
Here is some pics from the engine.
The price of M-Tech II side panels is 700-1000┚¬.. Plus i need the bumpers and sideskirts. The total cost of the bodykit would be something like 1500┚¬?!
And like i said those are hard to find.

looks nice! bet that took you some time to make it look that nice!
6 branch exhaust manifold and air conditioning!!!! :cool:

it looks a lot like mine in fact, nice sport touring interior!
here's the rest of your pics:

looks like the m-tech will cost you about twice what it costs over here. may be worth getting one shipped over. though, in my personal opinion, white tourers look better without the m-tech kit. any other colour looks good, just not white.

here's my car:

Looks good also.. I like the 3.5 engine you have swapped in it.
In Finland it's impossible to fit engine that size in e30. Because of the difficult laws. But it runs nice now. I have been looking some M-Tech kits from ebay too. I'm thinking to fit is-lip on the car. It looks nice with the touring side skirts.
I have also ordered a new lowering kit for my car. Actually i'm looking something new for my car everyday, so that i could make it look like i want..

I added the link for pics in the first post..

Sweet car Gareth. I love the anthracite Alpinas. With so many copies about you forget how much better the real wheels look.

You should pop along to our monthly Sussex curry meet. 8)

Car looks mint on the black alpinas mate, Think you should get some of those carbon fibre look bmw badges put on, to keep the black and white theme going.

cheers for the comments... they're replicas though! the 16" 'proper' one, not the 17" BK racing pants!

what's the deal with this sussex curry meet then? :D
