Nice cars!

 

But you've got the steering wheel on the wrong side - looks strange

[Bamowe]

Hi,

 

I'm impressed.

 

The lovely VFL E30, that Nils mentioned, is my favourite e30 too.

 

Where do you actually come from ?

[EKOfromUK]

I come from Manchester originally but now live near Torquay in Devon.

[EKOfromUK]

I missed out this one.

So on the english rivera, that i only know as foggy hole.

 

Any wrecking yard that is specialized in E30 or BMW parts around Torquay?

 

Or do youn know any at direction Aberporth or Cardigan?

[baum52074]

...you've got the steering wheel on the wrong side - looks strange

abolutely 've never seen a E30 with the steering wheel on the right. Looks unusual if you just know it the other way around ;)

 

Seems as if you have a real E30 history. Why have you owned that many different models? Have you problems in making decisions? ;) Did you never find "the only E30 for you"? Or are you just interested in all day?

 

btw: I favour the Vulcan M50

No BMW wrecking yard local but plenty of mixed yards with couple E30`s in.What parts are you looking for? p> p>

Nearly unused Left seats.

[wh1sk]

The salmonsilver M-Tech1 325i with Hartge alloys equipped is a real beauty

As rare here as they are in your country I imagine? p> p>

[Rahn]

very nice cars

 

the silver mt-1 looks very good

[denyo77]

the Vulcan one is amazing. I really love how clean the engine looks in your M5X swaps.

 

Dammit can you pick up e30s a dime a dozen there or what? I couldn't even get myself to sell half of those beauties.

 

Btw Oli was asking for you guys' passenger seats as those are our driver seats.

[vfl e30]

had engaged in a German car drivers wheels is the sight of an e30 with the steering wheel on the right side of confusing, but the silver vfl with the alpina is very beautiful. my favorite.

I dont think so, because it is your co-driver side.

 

We have a lot of right seats in good condition.

 

I hope i can take a seat with me next time i'm in Britan. I'm seearching for a wrecking yard that has E30 parts.

Red 318is :daumen:

[straightsix]

Yeah you had some beautiful E30! My favourite is the lachssilber MT1 2 door and your red Touring with the Borbets! Very nice cars!

[Mandrake]

Nice collection of cars posted there. Since I am developing a favour for VFL e30s I also like the silver MT1 best from all ;)

 

Do you speak any German? Cause I wonder how you found your way into these forums. Apart from this thread there is little information available in "not-German" ;)

Hello and welcome

[EKOfromUK]

I thought you guys might like to see what I bought today?

Got a phonecall yesterday putting me onto this 325i Sport.

Went to view it this morning and left a deposit.

Just got back from paying the remainder and collecting it

MOT`d for about 6 mths and little bit of TAX too.

114k mileage with service history and old MOT`s.

2 previous owners,last one for 9 years and kept totally standard.

Good original spec too with full OBC,maplight mirror,leccy windows and roof etc.

Engine/box/LSD are very good.

Not sure whats destined for it yet till I get chance to have a good look over it.

Unfortunately rust has took hold in the roof and has actually holed the outer skin at the rear

Gave it a quick jetwash on my way home as it was pretty dirty.

Got loads of spares thrown in with it too including brand new 3pc front and centre sections of exhaust,new exhaust manifold gaskets,drivers door lock repair kit,2 spare 15" caps,3 sets rear lights,nice set of Hella headlights,airbox/AFM and few other bits too.

Couple of phone pics
