That's what we like them to think that they think we're thinking anyway..
Eventually it's gets too confusing to keep the riddle going, so men just throw their hands up and admit defeat because it's the simplest and most sensible thing to do, even when we are right.

Hi peoples. My names Robert. Been into euro's forever. I have spent all my car owning effort on Peugeot's (well one Peugeot to be exact). Im a regular on www.fastfrogs.co.nz
Have always liked E30's and this one came up for a decent price so thought why not as it looked pretty nice and is mechanically sound as a swatch.
Its a 1986 325i (not motorsport ), 2 door, lsd, standard dash cracks and OEM as fark engine bay.
Has had a respray at some stage to the darker colour and the body kit put on. Does anyone recognise the body kit or is it a no name Chinese kit?
Wheels are fake but look nice. Real BBS's would have been to good to be true haha
got heaps of questions to ask about the car as i don't know much about these things, except that you really need to be careful going around roundabouts in the wet
I have not done anything except give it a wash so far brought it as it stands... oh besides getting rid of the yuk repco mats, momo gearknob and added the magic smelly tree
Dont have many plans for it as i like it the way it is
I want to get one of those "eye brow" trims above the headlamps are they hard to get?
Slam it more
get rid of tow bar
do skids (on the hamptons skid pad only of course)
So when is the next social meet?
here is a couple pics
and the poojo
Some footage captured on a "PRIVATE ROAD" - don't bother asking me where or who's road
M5 & FBO 335i having some fun on a private road. Unfortunately it started raining 10 mins after we got there, here's some footage from the session

I guess Suresh also probably preferred the raw power of a 6 as well?
This car is a beast, love it in all ways and would hand down purchase it over an M3
this thing hasnt missed a beat all summer and has been a nice cruiser. Nothing much has been done too it untill now
I installed E90 spring top hats to get some more low at the front as the uneven wheel arch thing was annoying me. Was a bit worried as i have heard they do and dont work. But all was well got a 15mm drop and at $37 each genuine from BMW they are a bargin IMO.
before and afters
The parts
I currently have a 1989 e30 with a m40b18 which is auto and done massive amount of kms. And have brought a second m40b18 with alot less kms but have been told the 2nd engine was out of a manual. So will there be any issues swapping them out being auto vs manual or will I need to donate any parts to the newer engine so everything bolts up okay
Rod are you married? Their are only two ways to do things the right way and her way so if you want peace and quiet in your life just go with the flow. haha
