There's supposed to be a BMW specialist in town. John Darby I think.

Away this weekend, and plus, without better brakes I'd kill it on a track lol.
330i. E30 Touring.
Jesus.
For £600, I'll drive to yours and do it, lol.
No idea re: specialists tbh. Maybe put up a wanted thread on the E30 forum? Or are none of the Clio specialists near you? I can send you a guide I give them- it's a doddle.
Great news about Automax. I'm down there Friday afternoon.
Come down for a day out dude. Watch my dci kicking out clouds of black smoke! Hehe

Love this! One of my dream cars also, but I'm to much of a pussy to buy one
Ha, in the words of my mate, I "finally lifted up my skirt, grabbed my balls and acted like a man".
In London that weekend, or it could of been done.
Ah, no worries then buddy. If you hear crying - either the DCI is broke or Tony has got hold of me.
So three days in, and still loving it.
Parked it next to my mums 1 series convertible yesterday, and the size is crazy. The only way the E30 is bigger looks wise is the length, and that's not a massive amount!
The popped for a drive with a couple of mates. One who owns a 4.0HC Chimaera, the noise is epic, so so nice. The other who owns the mini, the thing is spotless, we rebuilt it around 2 years ago, but he's always playing with it someway or another and it's always getting better! Not a bad line for three 24 year olds ha!
During the drive, with those two knowing theer cars very well, it gave me a chance to stretch the legs of the E30, it's one capable machine, much more than I thought it would be. The only niggle I have, is that when pushing in, the steering wheel has about 2/3cm before it becomes really responsive, and coming from the Clio, it's a bit wierd. It's something I imagine I'll get used to, but will also be bettered by my plans of an E46 rack.

It looks so cool! What's it like speed wise compared to the Clio? Also what's I insurance like?
seriously tempted by one of these currently.

It's not as quick, but it delivers the power a lot differently. There's a lot of low end, but then a good kick at around 4k. There's certainly enough speed if you want to have a good blast, but overtaking slower cars takes a bit more thought than if I was in the Clio. Mine was dyno'd at 176bhp last year.
If you can get a good one, do it. I'm really glad I did.

Your friends tvr makes me tent. He must have balls the size of watermelons.
Beamer looks great, hopefully tightening up the steering will improve things a lot. My zed's a bit "loose" until you put sport mode on. Then it's 90x better.

I'm going to buy one within the next three years, I don't care how I long I own it for, I just need one.

Newer than that I'd imagine dude. I also plan to buy in December, garage until april, use it all summer, then re-garage and sell at the start of the next summer. Hopefully not losing a dime!

E46 rack is a must, I don't know what it handles like as standard but mines had the conversion and the turn-in is great! Z3 shifter is another good upgrade.
Z3 or E46 rack are both upgrades, both get equal praise but the E46 rack is a lot cheaper as they're easier to come by.
Matt, Z3 shifter has been ordered, just waiting for it to turn up.

This is fantastic, such a great shape and looks proper tidy :approve:
Btw let me know when you're looking at the brakes as I might be able to save you a few quid on the Brembo prices you quoted

I know exactly what you mean! My godfather had one similar (320i cab) from new, back in 1989. When he used to visit, I'd help out and offer to wash the car. That novelty very quickly ran out however, through cleaning those same b*****d alloys that you have on!
Nice find m8 - hope it serves you well!
