Im Back! Some of you may recall i had to sell my 316i a wee while ago, but im back into E30 land and its great! No more cossetted E30's though for me. Ive bought a car thats far from mint and perfect for everyday use! Its a 1990 G BMW 325i Auto Tourer with 153,000 on the clock. Youd think it had half this on the clock as its still an utter weapon to drive! Zinnobar Red with the sport kit fitted. MOT'd and Taxed, 4 new tyres, Ԛ£550 bucks. Bargain? I think so! Pic below!

Cheers Guys, its got Zinnobar Red under the bonnet. My dad used to have a Zinnobar red one, and i used to have a Brilliant Red one years ago, so i know what you mean, but its got Zinnobar under the bonnet and up close it looks dark (ish) lol

Cheers Bill, im over the moon with it! Looking forward to using it - not using it until ive had it fully serviced and the timing belt changed (need to wait till payday) but im not risking it until then. No record of it being done recently, so i want to know for sure lol.
