[stevie-p]

Proves the build/panel quality of BMW - A GM car would struggle to be that straight under the bumpers after 2 years - let alone 22!!

Ok - well this one is looking pretty darn good then!

318s are better than 325s at drifting??? :confused:

325s have 190 ish bhp and the 318s have about 109! lol

[Plug]

i dont have a clue will just what the people have told me haha. was looking at an e30 325 the other day but it was rotten :(

so we will be seeing you stevie at combe busting your moves soon then :)

[craig green]

318is is the one to have, pretty sure a 325 will drift well though. E30's are tail happy anyway.

[Plug]

arhh is the 318is the 1.8 16v about 143bhp or something?

nice, i picked up an e30 325i for a friend yesterday and loved driving it home. i even managed to behave all the way home but the noise is addictive

[nova_niek]

i dunno e30's rot just as bad if not worse than novas lol
BMW's do rot as well - I've got a 1990 E30 sitting in my drive and it need lots and lots of love (read: new panels). It was holed to the point where it failed MoT... Sorted now.
Build quality on the other hand is superior to that of a Nova. Doesn't stop me loving my Nova's though. :d

[Maxfield]

I've got an E30 myself. Get the diff welded :)

[bazil]

Do all the 325 E30's have a LSD or was it only the sports? ( my mum had a diamond black F reg with OZ Saturn wheels, gota love the E30's )

[gc_vaux]

Get the diff welded :)

+1 !!!

[Maxfield]

Sports came with LSD's standard. It was an optional extra on most other E30's.

[L14MNP]

+1 !!!

+2. lol

Nice lookin E30 mate. :)

[stevie-p]

diff will get welded
