Nice...we've a later gen version as a project car (albeit SORN'd now until I've done the swirl flaps and serviced it again. Need to get the Dealer to pick it up on trade plates for the MOT). She wants to hang on to it as it was well specced and with the 30d engine pulls like a train, and has about 55k on it.

we sold our e46 convertible, then bought the e36 coupe as a run around (still got) but i always lusted after another e30 since selling mine a few years ago, so got that 87 one as above yesterday, the interior is imaculate and it seems unmolested, has genuine m sport bumpers interior, spoiler (not to my taste), steering wheel, its a 325i so pulls lovely, still even has the roof operating instruction leaflet on sunvisor, would probly benifit from a respray which it will get in winter!

Nice bit of fun that and looks nice in the pics , I have just sold my e30 325 convertible 1990 but have still got my E30 325i sport 1990 had that since 1993 , superb car and still makes me smile when i drive it.
Still feels quick even though its 22 years old .

That'll be my stumbling block too.
Why is it we all seem to have to get financial control approval first? Is it something to do with being bankrupt else?????

I paid for 1/3rd of the car even though it was hers. She even let me drive it once or twice......

I assume you were safely away from the mess in Wales over the weekend? Looks like some folks had a bad day. I suppose their vans won't be repairable either... :cry1:

E30's are so sweet. I still would love to own one as a project car. You can see that is mint.
