Another German Daily... BMW E30 iS



Winston

Its that time of year again to buy another E30 for some winter fun.. Ive owned a 318i Touring and a 325i coupe both were had for a bargain price but this was reflected in there condition :eek:.. I think they are great cars but they seem to have gone up alot in price recently

I had read how the 318iS was the best E30 of the bunch (bar the M3).. So hunted through the for sale ads for a few months and came up with this

I used to potter around in this. Going back a good 5 years now.

Sorry about the poor quality photos i think they were taken with a antique camara phone.

If you ever fancy selling it, let me know. Its the only car I've ever regretted selling.

Small world...

Thanks for the pictures... its no way near as mint as it was in those pictures... It makes me think twice about removing the splitter tho

So did you buy it off the guy that fitted all the iS parts?... I will keep you in mind when i come to sell it :)

Yeah i bought it as it was. Only addition i made was the fitting of a l.s.d.

I probably spent a small fortune on maintanece & servicing bits & bobs. It was a really clean car when i sold it.

Im thinking you should defo keep the splitter just maybe paint it white again like it was.

Don't get me wrong its still in good condition but 5 years does take its toll on a car of this age... I will see how comes up this weekend after a detail :)

Thank you for fitting the LSD.... Makes it much more fun than my other E30's and was the main reason for purchasing the car.

Im rocking around in a 320i atm. Needs less auto, more cylinders and less height. Cant wait to start spending monies on it!

They make great dailys.. buy one with lots of history and reciepts and it should go forever.. The only down side is the 6cylinder engines are not so great on juice, thats why i went for an iS in a hope that the 16V engine would be would be better.. It used £12 driving home from Nots to Manc.. That'll do for me :)

A few snaps from yesterday.... It doesn't look that low but i still managed to tw*t the sump driving in there lol.. And im still not sure what splitter to go for.. standard or iS?

Looks nice mate, I have a liking for e30's but they seem to be too expensive for a 325 which I would have to have.

There all pretty slow tbh Martin.... This 318iS isn't far off, if not the same pace as my 325i was once its up in the revs and its much more nimble to boot

I would love to drive one with an E36 M3 engine <3
