Muzzman Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I bought a new car to replace the Mk1 1990 2dr RWD and it's a lot of fun, currently having a 3.0 N/A 250hp engine built for it. Can you guess what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 You are good Vista. E30, owned by an old boy for 22 year, no rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vista Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wasn't too hard mate, discounting 4x4s and American cars there weren't that many mainstream manufacturers producing RWD cars by 1990. BMW, Mercedes and the Nissan 200. Sounds nice, pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightweightsteve Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Love an E30, it looks great - I have a friend (who rebuilt my engine), who specialises in putting E36 M3 engines in them - he's even supercharged one. Nice transition from RWD Ford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 mike Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Looks great! Love e30s. I've been looking for a nice 325i sport as a daily. I had a 325 when I was 25. It was one of the best cars I've owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEm Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I had a Dolphin Grey E30 about 12yrs ago. Loved it more than anything else I've ever had. Some dozy bint pulled out on me and it got written off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Cropp Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Dolphin grey my favourite colour! I had a white e30 325sports when I was 18 one of my favourite cars for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skeeter Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I really do like a nice E30, and in looks good in white, although, not convinced by the white wheels S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEm Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Agree on the wheels. If it were mine, I would paint them dayglo orange but then I am weird like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyjim Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 that's gorgeous and I actually like the white rims(must be hard to keep clean though) I have a 325i on coilovers with a tappy engine,i bought it off my boy for next to nothing(he couldn't give it away two years ago) and its sat on the drive since untouched but now worth five times as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzman Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I bought some 15" cross spoke BBS jobbies for it. I like the white wheel, rally styleeee! Engine building seems a lot cheaper than on the OSF, £2k for the engine and then having it rebuilt and bored out to 3.0, new cams etc etc and fitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
