1987 BMW E30 316, 41,000 Miles, Scotland

[rturbo 930]

Wow, that thing is mint! Gonna keep the auto in there or swap it for a manual?

Seems like quite a few here have Scottish connections. My grandmother is from Edinburgh, and moved around Scotland and England before coming to the US just after WW2. Would love to go and visit all the places she lived.

Looks clean! Seeing an air cleaner on the m10 in a late e30 looks so strange...

Hey that word cuppa, I though my mom made that up, but I guess not! My grandpa was Scottish and grew up in Hull and married a Canadian and came to California. I guess it's Scottish!? Or just not American!

how much for the headlights shipped to canada?

[RustyRuss]

Thanks all, much appreciated indeed :-) Henryki, that's only about 30 minutes from where I live - be sure to swing in for a cuppa next time your over and you can get a look at the car :-)

Navarone, I have updated the pictures above with under bonnet shots :-)

Kind Regards

Russell.

Looks brand new

[henryki]

Wow thats awesome. And I have some close family friends in Scotland! They live up in Dundee and my dad and I visit them every two years or so.

[Navarone]

Awesome find.

Wow, they even buttered the spare tire... I wonder how greasy the engine bay is, any pics?

[RustyRuss]

Hey Danny, thanks very much mate - much appreciated indeed :-) Aw excellent, do you know what part of Scotland they come from? Kind Regards, Russell.

Beautiful car man. And Scotland FTW! Most my family comes from there.

[RustyRuss]

Hehe thanks Pilot, much appreciated indeed...its certainly clean enough :-) Seems to have had a very sheltered life indeed!! Hope you are well. Kind Regards, Russell.

Someone call BMW and let them know we found that missing museum piece.

[RustyRuss]

Thanks very much time machine, much appreciated indeed. I certainly shall do - it will be pampered under my care also - its a long term one this for me - will only be used on nice dry days and be getting kept 100% standard as BMW intended (im a standard fan myself as opposed to modified). Hope you are well. Kind Regards, Russell.

[TimeMachinE30]

Very sharp. Continue the good care it has been kept with.

[RustyRuss]

Hehe thanks Pala, I know its hard to credit the cars age. Its been pampered from day 1 that's for sure. Much appreciated :-) Hope you are well.

Are you sure the pictures were not taken in the late 80's? Very nice indeed. Cheers!
