    Back to E30's again

    Well Im finally back into a E30 again. Little bit of history I guess lol. First Car was a 85' 325e that started my love for the E30 lol. As I was 16 the mod process was slow and painful working hard, saving up for every mod. Next E30 was when I was 20 scored a 88' M3 Alpine/Black. Loved that car had some pretty rare mods on it. It was written off 2 year after by some idiot who completely totaled it as It was parked outside my good friends house. I swear I could have killed him lol. From that point I had a E36 M3 heavily modded for track use. E46 M3 mildly modded, and the recently a 2011 335is Full bolt on that I sold last summer.

    Now Im back! Why it took me so long I have no idea lol, better late than never right? Now after search for about 6 months I finally found my perfect project/toy. 1990 Euro/Jap Spec 320i Mtech 2 with no sunroof. After getting some detailed info from Bmw Canada/Bmw AG Germany from the vin, I knew it was the right buy. Car has absolutely 0 rust! Which in Canada is hard to find. Car had 192,000kms (working cluster) when I picked it up in Kamloops, British Coloumbia. Drove her 4100kms back to Ontario with not even a hiccup. Now the car is not perfect by any means. Needs a few items at are minor (driver side weather stripping is not fitting properly, driver side seat is torn, its automatic, Driver side fog is broken, some paint is chipping, antenna motor is broken, switches, etc). But for the amount of money I paid for it Im not complaining what so ever. Now I Bmw Canada/Bmw AG Germany told me the Euro/Jap spec cars came in a optional 2 tone. Which is fine im going to leave it (something different). It also came with near perfect condition manuals and warranty book in Japanese. Only thing I have done since getting her home is installed a aftermarket deck and fluids.

    Not sure how to insert pics anymore lol

    Now onto the pics.









    Thanks Guys!

    Welcome and oddly enough...someone reported your listing as spam haha. Honestly does look like spam with the links at the bottom.

    Nice e30!

    See this picture I linked? The picture embedding button is that mountain range icon in the advanced edit mode.

        I know it was you ;) it tells who reports the spam or forum member that us at fault. I noticed his join date and the links were JPEG not URL, also his intro is highly detailed of the history he has with the e30.

        No harm done :) I read each report to make sure before deleting.

          I really like the two tone! That's a good looking car, and from the dogs if your history, will be quite an awesome build.

                    That's pretty cool
                    I'm assuming that is euro or international spec as I've never seen it in a US car and only international e30s came with hides iliac adjusters

                    Sweet e30 man

                      It's great to see another returning local member with a car that looks like it's got a lot of potential! From experience it seems that very few Japanese cars have good original paint, but they do make up for that by being quite literally completely rust free - and having dealt with my share of rust that's a trade off I'd take every time.

                      I just bought my E34 M5 from a seller in Prince Edward Island and would have loved to have had the time and budget to have been able to drive it back. Did anything interesting happen on your trip home?

                        The paint is actually not too bad. Nothing at all ran like a champ all the way home. Safetied (needed nothing) etest was 106
