Well I think I had already posted some pics of my car in the past, but since these ones are far better and the car is in better shape now I decided to share them with you.

Hope you like them. Car is MY 1989 and completely stock except for the Remus exhaust tips.

Custom shot is not the best quality since it wasn´t taken the same day nor with the same camera.

Of course. Wouldn´t have it any other way :-)

BTW it was originally purchased in Florida and stayed there till 2000.

Nice E30. It looks like it'd be a blast to zip around in.

such a cool car, my friend has a e30 330 convertible that is also an absolute blast to drive around in, went for a spin on friday for the last time this year, was sooooo much fun :)

There are no E30 330s, maybe it´s a 325i Cabrio or maybe it´s an E46.

^And only a later E46 at that, after they got rid of the 328.

This car is beautiful and very well maintained even though it's almost as old as me! The E30 models are one of my favourite BMW builds.

IMO best non-M BMW ever, and im still hoping they return to this formula....(relatively) lightweight, NA straight six with just enough power to NOT need nannying TC, playful rear wheel drive with LSD, and a sexy exhaust note...all in all sexy as fcuk.

Beautiful car mate, brings back memories...learned to power-oversteer in one of those.

PS BMW did make an E30 333i, can't remember size of engine, but pretty sure it was a South African only model!

Class, i hada 318is before, real fun car to drive. You should try and get alpina wheels for it.http://www.bimmerwerkz.com/forum/attachments/3-series-e21-e30/7150-aplina-rims-alpina_kopis.jpg

Alpina rims, they seem to manage to look fabulous on everything BMW old and new, even the other style, and even a MINI.

schnell318,

Are those the same 5 stud cross spoke rims that is shared by the E30 M3?

What size are the rims you have on ur 325is?

Very nice car you got there, the paint job on it still looks great, even after nearly 20 years.

The ones on his car look like regular 14" 4x100 bolts.

The "Alpinas" in this picture are actual replicals.. Alpina Kopi's.

Very nice car, and it looks like it's in GREAT condition!

I say keep it stock!

Emericaskate

Yes, my rims are regular 14" BBS. I thought about getting Alpina replicas or something but maybe in 16". Problem is they would be too difficult to get and I rather keep the car completely stock. What I would really like to get are the same wheels only in 15".

You'd b paying near £700 for real alpina wheels. You can pick replica's up for couple of hundred £, go for 17's, best looking wheels for the car imo
