My E30 rides: 318is, 320is and 325ic

[bjorno]

Hi, since I'm travelling allot the last years I tought this site would be interesting to meet people from around the world that love the E30.

And who know I can meet up with some people, I'm in New Zealand now for probably another 6 months. Was thinking and still am to buy an E30 over here as a daily ride but these are the one's that are waiting for me at home:

7 years ago I went to Italy to buy an 320is, the Italian M3. I took the plane to Rome and drove the car back home, then I had it restored for 2 years to make sure I could have allot of fun later. On the 7 years I've done 17.000km's with it. Not mutch but like I can't drive it while I'm travelling :D.

Here some pics:

The second one I have and I'm also really proud of is my 325i convertible Last Edition. As far as I know only mad in Germany and rumours go there are only 250 made of but I haven't found the truth about it.

I bought it 6 years ago, I first had a 318i convertible in great condition but I missed 2 cylinders, and then I found this one. I wasn't in the best condition because it had sawed off springs to get it lowered and the paint wasn't that good any more. But it had allot of potential and a Wiesman hardtop in same colour and leather on the inside. The sound of the M20B25 make's this car so enjoyable to drive. But also it's a car that you can still drive everywhere.

Colour is Macau blau and interior gray leather with special M stripe inside. Door covers and central dash is made of real leather.

3th one is my track car. I bought this one also 7 years ago I think.

It was a white 318is with no options, so perfect to become a track car.
Every year a spent a bit of money on it to make it better and better.
Engine is still original but I did change:

- Brake's and discs front and rear.
- Brak lines
- KW adjustebel suspension.
- Toyo Proxes tyres
- Roll Cage
- .....

Here are a couple pics:











If you have any more questions about my cars feel free to ask and I would love to give you more info. And if your from New Zeeland then let me know so who knows we can meet up!

Very nice cars man! That hardtop is sweet, always liked hard tops on E30's and E36's.
And that hardtop alone is probably worth an entire E30.

Nice collection!

@M3S14: I went there the years before but this year I didn't had the time. So you might have see me the year before. Unless you went to the Belgain E30 meeting in St-Niklaas?

@An1mal: Yes I prefer this hardtop then the original and yes it is worth allot of money. I barly use the hardtop because I don't drive the car in the winter (only for taking pics). But I keep it for the value of the car.
