That is one clean car! Wow!

[dishwab]

Yeah, that is beautiful. Let's get some interior shots!

Style 10 looks great too, I wouldn't change a thing

[ajhostetter]

Nice ride!

[ajhostetter]

Does yours have the tan interior? I've got the same car (M52 swapped) with the tan vinyl.

Is that John Harveys old car?? Looks great

[keeler]

Very clean, the new wheels are way better.

Yes sir it is! I am one fortunate individual to have the opportunity to obtain the car from him. John is a friend/colleague at work, and as promised over 2 years ago, he gave me first "dibbs" on her if he ever had to part with it. The car has been done over so "correctly" yet preserved it's originality. Pure E30 love!

Sorry, car is in the garage on a rainy day.

[word is bond]

Wooh - thats a purdy lookin M42!

Welcome to the forums, and welcome to CLE area e30 ownership! Winter sucks! Your car looks great - super clean. Does one of the previous owners happen to own a 2002 and is a member of this forum?

Side note: You should jump on over to our mini CLE area e30 gathering/talk thread and introduce, etc. There she blows: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=163146

Cheers!

Congrats! I've seen this car in person at a Cars & Coffee (probably around 2 years ago at this point, actually) and it really is as clean as it looks. Jealous.

Thank you everyone for the encouraging comments. I'm just so please to finally own an E30....and a clean, well taken care of E30 at that.
