Time to formally introduce myself

[Richyb]

I've had the car now for about 6 weeks at a guess and really starting to enjoy it more and more now.

Here are a few pics taken today up on the Dunstable Downs









The car was registered on the 1st of august 1990. Does that make it the oldest H plate

H+R 64/40 cup kit went on last weekend, next port of call is polly bushing the rear end and working towards the front, H+R ARB's. Then its a case of sorting all the imperfections on the bodywork that I'm not happy with. (No rust justs stone chips and little parking dents)
Oh and read into supercharging it some more.

Welcome to the zone fella

[greentouring]

Welcome to the zone, mate. Nice-looking E30 you have yourself.

What are those rims?

[Richyb]

I have no idea what the wheels are. They came on the car and there is nothing on the inside of them to say what they are either. Apart from being the wrong offset. Got the original wheels out in the shed waiting for the parada spec 2's to go on, that are sat next to them.

Those look like BK Racing 299 alloys. Welcome matey, Nice e30 in the Best Colour! (wait for it!!) Not too far from me in unsunny Oxon. Get the Corky bell book on blowers or if you promise to look after it I could lend it to you for a bit. Essential reading if you are a mathmetician!

welcome in

[brettski]

thats my old car!! i bought that in 1998 it was my first sport and i paid 8000 for it! i was the second owner and it had 73000 miles when i bought it. its still got the same plates that i put on as well good to see its still about whats the mileage on it now and how many owners has it had hope you enjoy it mate i did 20000 miles in that car and had a lot of fun in it!

[Richyb]

Its now on 139,00 miles mate. It's certainly had a well looked after life. Were you the BMW driver club owner of bit? A, B. Cartwright? I shall be looking after it don't worry I'm its 7th owner now too

[brettski]

yea thats me!! i just kept the car standard when i had it the only things i did were to put those plates on a chrome bmw gear knob clear front indicators and chrome door pins. i always had the car serviced by a bmw technician i know as well it never let me down which is why i've recently got myself another one just don't mod it too much though and get some more pictures up!!

[Richyb]

I only intend to replace the old with new. The wheels were on there. They'll stay as I like how it sits on them, but I do have the Original wheels for it, for when the summer arrives. The selling point for me was the extensive service history. Shame it got lost from 2000 as there is no bmw history for it, from then on. Plenty of reciepts for it mind, which is always a good thing . I'll be getting more pics up of it, don't worry.

If you have any more history on the car, I'd be very grateful as I would like to peice its history together.

[brettski]

hi rich sorry for the late reply i've been in thailand for three weeks! all that i can tell you was that it was always serviced on time and it had whatever it needed get some more pics up mate!
