    E30 320is

    Cool, another E30 forum! I'm toying around over at e30tech also, so I might know some of you from there.

    Anyway here is my car, a 1991 320is that I bought in Milano, Italy in september. Enjoy!

        Very purdy!!! S14b23 correct? And it's a four lug as well right? Very interesting car, perhaps the most obscure official bmw e30.

        "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

          Man, that thing is nice. What car is that motor from? E28/34 M5? How was the swap? That car must be fast as hell

            No swap, it is the four cylinder s14b23 from the e30 m3 sold everywhere besides portugal and italy, who got this car you see instead.

              Hot car, you better hang onto that one, thats a definite piece of E30 history right there.

              I would restore that thing, or make it near perfect...I would get some nice wheels to set it off though.
              Reminiscing...

                  Yep this car is bone stock, believe it or not

                  The engine is actually a s14b20 - to avoid the high taxes for car with engines bigger than 2.0L. So it's a de-bored 320is exclusive s14 version.

                  I've also found the color is quite rare, only 3746 E30s were ever painted in this color (could be wrong):



                  And I will have some nice wheels soon, a set of Hartge design A wheels.
                  They're being completely restored at the moment, with new centercaps.

                    This car has a s14b20 engine because of high inport taxes on cars with engines larger than 2.0l in italy :)

                    -edit- i was to slow,, haha :)

                      I stand corrected.

                              Your car is a piece of shit.
