You are a brave man--I would not be able to own that car. It makes me happy looking at it though.

e30 at it's best!

what a car! :)

I've had someone offer me 14k (10000EUR) for the car recently... but there's no way in hell that I will be selling it. select cars that are at least 30 years old and in original condition are eligible for historic registration in Germany, this one should have no problem being registered, which will increase the value even more... we'll see what the offers will be like once the car reaches that age an gets that registration (not much longer). But I ended regretting it when I sold my previous e30's, I dont plan on selling this ever... the e30 will keep getting even cooler as time passes...

Smart man. This is truly a dream car. congrats on the find! i really enjoyed the pics

There is actually about a half dozen that made BMW's e30 glass. Sigma, Sekurit, Pilkington, Soliver, obvioustly 'delodur' and there are a couple more.

good to know, you never stop learning something new..:)

looked at the 1 series aswell when i got the name of the e30 windows, those are still made by pilkington...

just took a peek inside the garage to make sure... my windows are made by a company named "delodur"... i guess there must be two diff. suppliers then...

Agreed! Over a cardinal interior they look awesome too! :)

Yes sir. All ordered straight from BMW itself. The windshields are usually made by Pilkington.

All in for the glass would be about 800-1000. And its only available for early models.

I love the way the brown windows make the interior look... It's just something you don't see on any other car and it makes the leather look even nicer when looking at it from the outside...

just a heads up, my windows are made by a different manufacturer (can't remember the exact name atm)... are you sure those are factory?

Yes sir. All ordered straight from BMW itself. The windshields are usually made by Pilkington, and this color is only available for early models.

All in for the glass would be about 800-1000. I worked at the stealership for a while, so I git it much much cheaper.

Here is a link to it. All of it has to be shipped from Germany as it wasnt available in the US.

my mind is even more blown now, does the full set include front and rear windshields ? and where does one get this and how much is it? thanks

Incredible!


I would seriously consider doing a trip over to the BMW Welt building.,.. drive up and offer them a chance to buy it back (ask for some factory perks, Nurburgring driver's school, free factory tours for life, ect. etc. in return) and see what they say.


I know of one gentleman whom they took it up his offer and he got some pretty neat perks.

Love it! That is one of the few cars that deserves to go unmolested. I love the base model features and how nothing has been added for convenience throughout its life!

Congrats!



That is bronze glass, I just ordered a full set for my mtech1 build. No tint, its gold/bronze instead of the green that all US cars got.
