Limited run of around 100, 325e bottom end with a stroker kit making it a 2.7 and around 210bhp.
Alpina interior and exterior touches (wheels, front and rear spoilers etc).


*Disclaimer Foggy memory plus a hangover.

I don’t think there’s ever been better looking cars in their class than the e39 and e46.

Agreed. That E46 was 👌🏻

I'd fight your dad to get the chance to listen to your mum fart through a walkie talkie.

You’d probably win, he’s dead.

Quite possibly 😂

These things still look great. Seems they're available for around £25k now!

This didn't look half bad either, colour look great in the sunshine...

I prefer the cross Turismo because it looks like a very cool family hatchback. If they made an ICE version they would sell out for years!

Didn’t get a picture, but saw one of these today. Had the roof panels off. I love these, one of my favourite jap cars.

My main car memory is being in one with a (then) family friend doing 130mph up a hill. Great cars

 

[helpimonfire]

And I haven't seen a 306 in years

View attachment 1740141

I see one every now and again, that one is much tidier and less rusty than the one I see. The one I own...

Mmm... Crunchy.

Old man had two when I was young, briefly at the same time. Only car I recall him spinning, booted it up the hill coming out of Broadway and it went round twice 😅

Was obsessed with jap cars for a while, he was the first person in the uk to have the spoiler brake light fitted, collected it from a dealer in Florida.

Love the switchgear around the binnacle, McLaren have done similar with the artura

Love the SCCON sticker. That is one deeply '80s club logo!

Stolen from Facebook but this is impressive. Spot the rod cap 🤣

Jesus. Someone grab 1st instead of 3rd?

Yeah, could well have been.

I can’t work out how to copy the link for the vid but there’s onboard footage from the car behind in the comments. It does look very very firey for picking the wrong gear though.

Brings back many childhood memories, my mum had one just like this when I was growing up. Dad had a light blue E class estate which he eventually fitted a whopping big LPG tank in to the boot. I hated it, aside from not being able to fit my bike in anymore, my friends used to take the piss and tell me I'd blow up if someone crashed in to us

Thought that was dads LPG tank for a moment there

These things look like an abortion from any angle. It's no wonder it's taken this long before I've seen one of the turds in the flesh.

Pretty much the entire current line up for BMW are absolutely rank. There is some woman near us with an IX which is equally as vulgar.
