I paid Ԛ£695 for it and bought it off Ebay! Is that a good price?

Its a bit rusty at the moment and needs a new front wing and the rear arches are in a bad way!

Looks like its time for some new brakes too! What do people recommend, i read somewhere on here the zimmerman discs with the pagid pads were the best??

Wheres the best place in Portsmouth for BMW spares?

Does anyone know where the Charcol canister is ment to mount?, mine seems to be stuffed bown between a couple of pipes to hold it in place!

Welcome to the Zone.

That looks like a pretty decent car for Ԛ£700 !

Since you're in Portsmouth, drop Iain (username HartgeH27) a PM regarding spares, and general info. Top bloke.

have a look here for brakes:
http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... e30+brakes
i just put ecp power discs and standard pads, works fine, as for spares, i would say ecp, but they can be a bit slow at the best of times :hammer:
or gsf, but there not that much better
nice car though, is it a 325i or 320i?

Its a 325 i with 153000 miles on the clock but runs like new!

Im actually based up in Alton (well Medstead) but i heard Portsmouth was the nearest/cheapest place for spares!

Im just under it at the moment adjusting the power steering belt which is a bit loose. Im liking the bigness of everything, im used to working on minis where there is barely any room and now theres giant holes to put my arms in!
