The End...final drive

Sat Nov 19, 2011 8:19 pm

Today was the last time I will ever drive my 320iS as the car was sold to a man in Finland.

I've never felt so attached to a car as I have this one and would just like to thank e30zone for all the help along the way. I have never been the most active member posting wise but always posting if I think I can really help. Many problems, funny rattles that happen only at 4501rpm have been solved by forums like this.

So again a big thank you. This will be the second time I've left the e30 scene, and may not be the last.

I've been to a few shows this year and met some members and won a competition (the mug will go in one of those glass cabinets when I get one!) this is what clubs are all about and I will carry on wearing my e30zone tee with pride hoping that some zoner will give me "the nod"

I'm not sure what's next on the car list maybe a e36 m3 or there is a e30 with a e46 m power engine about which looks very intresting.

Ill never regret It I have some amazing memories and pics and they will be with me for a lifetime. Plus owning a car you can't drive in anything but sun is a test on even the most devoted person..

Yes they are lense protectors just one of little bits I managed to find along the way. "Rare e30" is you friend on eBay!

When I saw a e30 on RS's I new that's how it had to be.

I still have the RS's not letting the Finish have too many good bits!

It was a pleasure doing business with you and your friends, look after it. No driving in the wet!

I´ll do my best with car.

Looks like this car is in fantastic condition. Everything works perfect. Engine sounds good. Gerarbox is tight. No oil leaks and other problems.
Yesterday I change new foglights, motor- gearbox- and differential oils.

Good work that car has always been well over serviced in its life and it's nice to see it continuing.
I would love to see some pics of your other cars if you can post them?
