New - E30 lover, E90 daily. Based in Christchurch, NZ

Kia ora team,

My name is Ryan and I am a long term car enthusiast and recently found lover for all BMW's.

It started late last year with me wanting a new tidy daily, something not Japanese. I flew up to Auckland and picked up my new BMW 2007 E90 6-speed manual 320i and drove it back to Christchurch. Being the male I am, I found the need to pick up a spanner so two months ago I jumped on a bus and went to the Nelson region to purchase my E30 1987 PFL coupe running a auto 1.8ltr m10.

I personally love the m10, such an underrated engine that has a lot of potential and very strong from factory. Current plans are manual conversion, install my adjustable suspension and general tidy up / replacing tarnished parts with OEM factory. 

I am excited to learn and make new friends along the way!

Cheers team,
