Yet Another E30

Recommended Posts

Hey guys... so I bought another one. It's an 85 320i, done 230,000kms. 4 door (cos theyre cooler ;)), sunroof, bmw business stereo, complete toolkit (with the addition of the multi-grips from my other one), original shithouse jack etc.

Without further ado:

I have yet to decide wether to remove all the mudflaps, keep just the back ones (it's missing the front right), or swap them for the full set of bmw originals from the racecar...

Nice score! Love the hat and the beer, more E30's should include hats and beer.

FYI, on a 316/318/320 with the battery in the engine bay, a box of Corona fits perfectly in the RHS rear well in the boot where the battery is on a 325 ;)

Looks good Paul, nice score, leather interior and door cards are here if you want them. Cheap cheap lol.

Cheers bro, currently got an emergency kit there but i can re-arrange that ;)

And i might have to come check out that leather sometime, I've just cancelled a holiday so a little bit of cash has been freed up. text me sometime, we should catch up... im on a months paid leave atm so free pretty much always. You've got my number ae?

Duckeater:

Yes, hat and beer are definitely mandatory. Although hats use is somewhat limited by the lack of headroom in an e30, combined with being 6'3"

Another FYI, you can fit 18 woodys under the bonnet of an e30 also

7. Leaning one up on the battery. Front batteried cars won't have that problem.

Very nice. Mines nowhere near that condition! She will be one day, got some great plans and maybe get it up to beach-hop standards haha

Just ordered my new BS stickers :D

Edit: Don't want another old cortina do you? Haha. Decided student loan is more important than owning a 3rd car.

Ok so I'm putting in some lowering springs, and got the rears in easy as. But the fronts are being a little stubborn. Can't get the control arm balljoint off my strut!!! Any hints/tips etc? Or anyone in Wellington got a balljoint seperator and, while i'm asking, spring compressors?

Cheers in advance! :D

liking the OG plate haha

looks tidy man , its lowered? :P

Haha a tribute to MJ himself :blink:

Yup, it sits a little lower now that the springs have settled, but I want the front lower (the 15s dont fill the gaurds as well as the 16s at the back).

King springs, not sure what to be honest haha.

Certainly not gonna get a Europlate, it just wouldnt look right with a white plate.
