Cheers lads, i want alpina wheels but i ran out of money, they £1100 a set, without tyres. but one day, probly when these tyres are worn out.
The cars just clocked 163,000 miles and she still runs smooth, aircon still cold and im really enjoying driving it about, its my first e30. there very addictive arent they?
ive had it a few months, no major work but it was stood for 2 years, so i changed the cambelt, give it full service, then the fuel pump gave up.
Parts backup is good for an old car, all parts from dealer next day or in stock, alpina parts only took 2 weeks.
Im now looking for excusses to go for a drive and i allways take the long twisty route!
PS, even the drivers seat is perfect, my old capri's Recaro was suffering after 60,000 carefull miles.

Jimson,
How's it going fella??
The cars looking spot on tbh, see you down Tavistock St a couple of weeks ago...just cruising along!!
That steering wheel is lush bud, brand new too!!
I think some skirts and those all important Alpinas will just take it to another level...Are the wheels the proper nogaro silver jobbies??
Oh by the way, is Rob back working at Elms??

That looks Very nice. Something different about it to other four doors.
Id get a set of 16" pinas, get rid of the M badge and colour code the bumpers. But then again those BBS are reeeealllly nice!

Have removed the M grille badge this morning.
will get bumpers painted when car has next tidy up, (probly a year or two yet) as have not lot of money
What to do next, A. carbon airbox, scorpion exhaust, big throttle body and a chip.
im not gonna change wheels yet as i have 4 new tyres on.
is anyone selling any alpina type wheels, need cheep as poss, not worried bout tyres and dont mind refurbing, if i do it like this it will spread the cost out, ya see.
Couple of questions, have you got a 325 with any or all of these mods? whats the difference to performance/sound.
If i fit 17" pina reps, will arches need rolling, car is std M sport, i dont plan on lowering it any more. any advice welcomed? cheers

It only replaces the air filter.
But it is a good air filter.
If you want a proper C/F airbox, buy a real engine
im quite sure he has a real engine in there. and as he says he aint got a fortune to spend. not everyone can look at your old mans m3 then decide that they are also gonna spend 20k making theirs look mint
as above good to hear m badges are off, do try and save for genuine pinas intead of reps
Cheers everyone, its taking a long time to get the car right, im doing it in very little bits as money is tight. i didn't pay much for the car as it was stood for 2 years (jus needed a damn good clean) then bin buying bits as and when they come up! thanks for not taking the piss out of it!
i have an m3 and to make mint would cost one hell of a lot less than 20k.It was all in jest mate
20k to make an M3 mint, to a good spec will cost much more than 20k
but its all down to taste myself i wouldnt have aftermerket wheels and funky interior or even the smoked rear lights, but hey, each to their own
Got another idea. has any one got a turbo kit for m20, could run it at very low boost for now, then when the engine lets go, rebuild to suit and turn the boost back up?
Im quite happy with the cars preformance, i just want a turbo whine when i put my foot down, any ideas?

I have the reverse to your car. A 4 door c2.5 Alpina, though the only cosmetic identifier is the wood gear stick and green sticker. It's been robbed of wheels, steering wheel and front valence. Good to see what mine will look like in years to come.
Don't get side skirts and rear valence, I like the 80's style Alpina gave these cars.

They were robbed, what a bastard. some parts are stil available but most dealers dont know how to look up the weird part numbers in their system so they show up not listed. i can check up if you want to know prices, What year is your alp mate?

1989.
I'm not in a position to do too much to rectify it for a few months yet. More important things to chase first.
An Idea of valence, steering wheel and badges would be cool. Though I think badges are silly money....
