[bmwandhonda]

Trying to remember if you were near-ish Lilydale or not - I know someone from Euroccar was. I'll be heading down that way in a few months

I used to be in Healesville, but am now in Elsternwick. Much closer to work :)

I just got home from A surf trip in Sumatra, Indonesia to find this stack of parcels in the lounge :) lol
- New Accelerator cable
- Turner motorsport rear shock mounts
- New intake boot
- CAI intake adaptor plate
- Raceskids sump plate
- EBC greenstuff front and rear pads
- Black silicone vac hose set



+ the new wheels :) Direct from Poland, of all places.

BBS RS 15x9 +3, 15x8 +12

Will post some more pics once I have the wheels/tires/suspension etc all mounted. If the wheels look silly on the wagon I will just put them on the coupe :)

Saw this on carsales and looked at it, but I didnt want to stuff around with all the rego stuff!.. car was literally 5 mins from home too :(

I offered the bloke $12.5k for it and he said he would take it but I backed out.. regret it now!!

How much did you end up paying if you don't mind me asking?

PS. Dibs on the alpina rims if you don't keep them!!

Wow, sounds like I should of tried bargaining him a bit more then :/ oh well, too late now I guess...

My sister car lol.. Mine was in Melbourne before we moved to QLD. Pity its not still there! would be good to have a pic of the two together! They are rare as rocking horse shit in Aus though. Anyway, very nice looking car. I took my 15" RS001s off and sold them as I just didnt like 15s but I guess its all personal!

Bad ASSSSSS!

[BavarianAddict06]

Soooo sick! mmore pics?

[bmwandhonda]

Just ordered a 'Raceskids' sump guard. Have had one on the coupe for the last year and has a taken a fair beating. Def saved me a few new sump's thats for sure!!

Also ordered a set of 'turner motorsport' alloy rear shock mounts and the UUC DSSR to go along with the UUC short shifter setup. Thought I should do it right the first time.

Drove it again over the weekend back to my parents house. Absolutely love the extra power and sound of the 6cyl over the coupe with the m42. The coupe feels a bit quicker off the line but the wagon feels like it just keeps on pulling harder all the way to redline. Currently driving it on temp rego permit still rocking the UK plates :p lol

[VANOS714]

Love it!!

[bmwandhonda]

Just ordered a Kamotors CAI + Adaptor plate

Still need to sort out the slightly dodgy turn signals that just randomly stop working at times and also get some new brake pads. Just going to get OEM pads.

Yeah that jdmst meet was like 5 mins from my house, so went with a couple of mates, i thought no one would even take a second look at the touring when i went there.

So when i saw the pics online i was a bit shocked lol.. Put a smile on my face though!


p.s as far as i know we're the only 2 in Melbourne. Haven't heard or seen of any others

Yeh, I reckon a lot of people will be fair confused seeing an e30 wagon at a meet in Melbourne :) Yours is definitely the only other one in Melbourne that i have seen or heard of. But probably a couple more lurking about.

That thing is pretty much immaculate looking at all the pics so it is worth the price tag. It is effectively in the 'collectors/enthusiasts' category now which i think breaks out of the standard 'age/kms' type pricing structure IMO.

Knowing how a guy over here called Zed's white MtechII touring looked on both Alpina 17's (copies though) and then 17" Keskins i will be interested to see it down low on chunky 15s. Maybe even colour in the white lettering on the tyres? haha

I completely agree with you in regards to the collectors/enthusiest category. Befor I got the Touring home, I had planned on daily driving it and selling off the 2 door. But after seeing the condition that it's in + the Uniqueness (at least in Australia) I am going to keep the coupe as the daily and have this as a weekend cruiser :)

Also, yeh I am also interested in how it will look on the 15's. 16's would have been perfect but the 15's came up and I jumped on them. If i'm not happy with it, I should be able to sell them for what I payed originally. Either way though, the Alpina's look great so could happily just leave them on.

haha hey mate, yeh I spotted photo's of your touring from the jdmst meet a couple of months back and was super jealous, then this popped up and I couldn't resist!!

Will no doubt bump into you at meet at some point :)

Both my pet kangaroo's + my cork hat and two slabs of VB

That's quite a price to pay for such an old car... ;)
