just bought another E30 1.8 IS

[cjdonny]

not even picked it up yet but looks mint

[sunnyr83]

Nice apart from the rimzz. Se skirts look smart on a coupe!

[cjdonny]

sold me a set of 5 sport? BBs alloys too so they will be going on-Thinking of doing them GOLD???

WANT list will soon start

12 months MOT
125k on clock FSH

[sunnyr83]

GOLD???

Gold on a black car, perhaps!

Do whatever makes you happy dude. Looks a good 'un.

[Barx325i]

gold on red ain't that bad

nice clean looking car, how many miles?

[cjdonny]

125 on clock

them in your sig im likeing what are these new? (BBS reps?)

any idea on make of the white ones or value

[Barx325i]

Plenty of miles left. If the engine is sweet still that'll be a nice e30.

rs002's just very shiny, expensive new but I don't think you can buy them new any more

No idea on how much your white ones would be worth, if they're light they could be useful but I don't recognise them

[gurj247]

Nice looking 318iS, looking at it makes me feel like there are a lot of exterior bits and bobs that i need to get done to my car.

Out of interest how much did you pick it up for?

[cjdonny]

Too mutch 1500.

[gurj247]

Too much
I think that's a pretty good price esspecially is its got 12 Months MOT and FSH to 125k

[cjdonny]

Yeh I'm happy with it,last one cost me 350

[Tan91]

Nice motor mate!

Gold goes well with red if they are splits in my opinion, at the end of the day what ever floats your boat.

Paint is in good nick as well, seems rust free??

[cjdonny]

yeh no rust at all on the top will see what the underside is like but im thinking it should be fine

[bridgemond]

Looks well man. Best of luck with her

[tonybtonyb]

A clean looking iS

[ah]

I was really liking this until I saw the rims,it needs a set of 15"BBS.Otherwise nice car.

[cjdonny]

It's got a set with it

[cjdonny]

Picked her up and shes mint

had a respray at some point

alloys are in need of refurb but i have a set of Alpina 17" reps and some BBs alloys i got with it but there only 14s

think thermostat is stuck open as its just under half on temp gauge all way home?

ariel does not work

small oil leak seems to be from rocker cover

one fog light not working(bulb at a guess) its got water in it

dash lights and clock rev counter were all not working but seems to be a fuse now sorted

[sunnyr83]

Needle under half mark is fine mate, its when it in the red you should shit yourself or if it creeps up in traffic.

Give the fog light a kick, should get it going lol

My last 2 e30s both came with alpina reps. The drive is shocking compared to 15's. Shot both the reps and 14's and get yourself a nice set of 15's.

Any other plans with it?

[cjdonny]

Looking at some bucket seats,not sure yet but I would be open to some ideas

[sunnyr83]

There some for sale here mate.

[cjdonny]

Yeh these are what I'm looking at just waiting to see if I can arrange a courier

[Duke137]

Looks nice, 1500 is a good price really if it is clean and a good IS is worth this and more IMO.

You get what you pay for with E30's usually... A few hundred quid just buys you some scrap unless you get VERY lucky.

Nice purchase

[318isPMK]

lovely car and CHEAP!!! but I would say that

[cjdonny]

Right got the bucket seats sorted should be with me Thur

swaped the alloys over to the 14" BBS for now, once the Alpina reps come ill stick them on (keep for winter alloys) and sell on the 14" and the white alloys then look at a nice set 15 BBS

Service kit to order Monday and rear brake pads/discs

still front Fog/Ariel to fix

can hear a costant buzzing now though these cars keep you on your toes

[cjdonny]

[gurj247]

I know i will probably get shot, but i don't like the 14's, much prefer the white alloys you had on it.

That said when you get some 15's on it i'm sure it will look better....

[Barx325i]

Nice purchase

mine was £280 with a powerflow stainless & fresh shocks & springs. Totally mmaculate throughout but suffered a rattly timing chain & shot beam bushes. Had 2 years of very very enjoyable motoring until one day a 4x4 on my side of the road forced me to choose scenery and that was that...

[cjdonny]

I have a set of Alpina reps to fit

i might refurb the white ones black>?

i do like Barx325i alloys though

[cjdonny]

quick pic when i got home from work and fitted them

in need of badges

and tyres are only 185/35/17

[shanehaward]

nice car mate looks similar to one of my old e30s >>

[tonybtonyb]

Your car looks good but with 185/35 tyres fitted your going to feel every bump crack,pot hole and you may even damage the rim/crack it.

[cjdonny]

yeh forgot to check size when i won them

whats best size to fit?

yes very similar

[gurj247]

I'm liking that much better than the 14 inch BBS wheels.

Off the top of my head i think on my 17 inch Azev alloys i'm running 205/45/17, but can check / confirm when i get back home.

[polsta]

the thing with an is...its light and nimble, 17" wheels on an e30 are shite and ruin the ride, unless its a gentle straight line cruiser you want

keep to the bbs for a much nicer drive and look, i think gold bbs might look ok , black bbs=naff on a red car
