What's the highest milage of E30s on this forum?

[Brianmoooore]

No contamination of the oil (comes out almost the same colour as it goes in), and no bore wash with a cold engine.
Far superior fuel.

[Jesus325iTouring]

I meant to say,of my 245,000 miles just under 90,000 of them are "my" miles,and I still love the sound of the six firing up,and of course the occasional wail a little further up the rev band

you must do a fair few miles in it

Used to do 30k per year (i've had it 5 years) but more recently she has it a bit easier and I make my R5 do all local donkey work,i've even put 40,000 on that in 2 1/2 years.
It's having kids and living in the sticks that does it!

although ive heard some people say it ruins the engine if fitted badly ???

whats the going rate to have lpg installed

[Brianmoooore]

If you fit it badly and let the mixture go lean at high revs, your pistons will melt, the same as a petrol engine.
On some engines, such as the rubbish produced by Ford, the valve seats will burn, but they often do that on petrol anyway. No such problems with BMW.
Last complete kit off an E30 325, that I bought on ebay, cost me £63, IIRC.

Having just filled up this morning at 120.0 per litre,i've begun charging them,had to to be honest,and they both have part time jobs so I think it's fair.
It's just getting so bloody pricey

[Alex]

shame they did't do 324td's over here because you could fill them up at your local chippy costing nothing

[Steve-E30]

184,000 on the sport
200,000 on the i.s on its journey home with full service history
Both still pull like trains

[Steve-E30]

I can upgrade to a 91 E36 316i white 4 door if i'd like soon! i may do it for a while

Nice upgrade
Dont get nicked by the fashion police or loitering with intent at the first hill

I often wonder what the diesel E30 was like,bit rare though there is one on the Zone somewhere.

200,000 on the i.s on its journey home with full service history

That was a long trip,where did you buy it

Back on topic I broke a 325 with 230k +.
Currently driving an M40 316 on 189k.
My old E36 323i had 242k.

[Pal318is]

220k before something broke that can actually be fixed, but i've just done it the long winded way

[ric325i]

Brand new kit costs around £600 all in, and is easy enough to fit. A couple of threads on here at the moment.
The £63 kit was freely available to all of you on ebay - twice. The first time it sold to a serial non payer for around £110.
Came from a guy who'd bought a rough 325 for sand racing and just wanted rid of the kit.
Came with a nice bonus when I collected it - the gas tanks are pressure vessels, and are supposed to be tested every ten years, but, in practice, it's easier and cheaper to fit a new tank. This kit came with an eighteen month old tank!

Cotty, your touring is immaculate juding by your pics....Is it your daily driver? Is it garaged?

Its my only car but its not driven daily as i catch the train to work. It is garaged and only do about 3,000 miles a year so will never be a contender for highest milage.

Its ok from a distance its only when you get up close you notice the stone chips and scuffed IS spoiler
