Went to see this yesterday and had a wee poke about and a couple of blasts in it.

1989 E30 316i 2 Door saloon

VERY cheap!

Its got slight surface rust on the rear arches and a couple of scabs on the O/S door. The O/S wing is holed too so i will remove this and have a good poke about. One wee hole on the N/S of the scuttle panel too but thats easy sorted.

Its lowered 40mm and has an Mtec spoiler. Electrics work fine too.

Heres a couple pics.

Wheels are not really to my liking but will do for now.

I had one that paid ?100 for a while ago, it was fooking ****e. The open diff makes for a very crap rwd experience, unless you weld the diff up you wont be able to have any fun, not that it has the power keep it sideways lol.


My first rwd car was a 1.6 capri and that had a 2.8 rear axle on was so much more fun to drive and had loads of fun in it.

I was tempted to buy an E30 320i the other day, well solid all round and two owners from new, kinda wish I had bought it but the 2.0 nova feels alot quicker.
