well this is my first post here!! been wanting another e30 for a while and after selling my corsa friday i thought i was in for a long wait to find a decent one at a good price!! this one for £475 is a bargain as i dont mind getting stuck into a project and making the car my own. what ya think?

She's not a sport but still a cracker at that price - well done mate and an excellent looking base for a project, yet another one saved rather than chopped.

thats what i thought, will also make a good project. i was going to spend £2k on a decent 325i anyway so i now have £1500 to spend getting it the way i want :)

Good car for the money...

On the HPi check it has the last owner change down as jun 06, how could the seller have heard it run 6 months ago?

You need a new front bumper & lower valence, there going to set you back £150 i would guess...

Enjoy your new car!
