deane30 30 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) CAR NOW FOR SALE ON TRADE ME End of an era. Please see next two pages for more details. Hi guys and girls,I've had my car since September and been a member since October.I've always been a huge fan of e30's and finally had a chance to buy one last year.i'm a fan of the standard look and although I would have much prefered an m325i I'm only a poor student and had to settle for a 1988 320i (facelift).Although its nothing flash, it is in excellent condition.The colour is Mineralblau and it is the only one this colour I have seen in NZ others may have seen more this colour?it has only done 120k's and is mechanically very good, has been reguarly serviced and has just had the cambelt done.Cosmetically it is very good as well. No dents and only a couple of very small scratches that you would expect on a 20yr old paint job. i am waiting on a new fog light cover that is expected to arrive soon as the other one has come off. the previous owner put a spoiler on and colour coded the bumpers as well as replacing all the badges with new ones, including the centre caps.The interior is as new. No cracks in the dash or rips in the seats. And still nice and shiny. One thing I would like is a Tech-1 steering wheel to go in it, i'm not a fan of the four spokes.

deane30 30 Report post Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) Weeeee update I thought I would post up a few more pics of my car since I have done a couple of small things to it since last time. So far I've: - Added a Tech1 steering wheel - Got some BBS basket weaves - Added europlates - Kept the maintenance etc up I've only added factory options as the plan for this car is to keep it pretty stock. Eventually I want to buy an M325i or an e30 cab and spend all my money on that. I apologies for the poor image quality and my complete lack of photo taking ability Edited August 29, 2010 by deane30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OP6 27 Report post Posted August 28, 2009 Deane the car is looking fantastic, very impressed that you are still keeping it stock, the temptation to stray into modified territory must be great. Well done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
