ARMAN 11-03-2006 04:43 PM

1985 BMW E30 318i
 
Man I am EXHAUSTED!!! I was looking for a good beemer(for a small amout of money) for almost a MONTH! what nerves you have to have to do so :faint:

Almost bought one but backed off in the last minute right before I had to pay LOL

Was looking for ETA(2.7) V6, after driving one fell in love with the engine note but couldnt find a good one :( 2,5 is too expensive and 2,0 were in disaster condition or again rare and expensive.

So I bought the car I saw as the first of e30's when started to looking for the car :) Almost fucked the car when drove it the first time cause its lowered infront and oil tank is right in the midle and damn low and when I didnt noticed speed bump across the street so you dont speed there I almost smashed it :oops: gladly the chap had some kind of home made fender on it so no damage only very unpleasant sound :)

Its lowered, some M-tech 1 accessory's as suspention, steering wheel(still too big for my taste), Mtech back spoiler(?) on the trunk. The exhaust is too quiet for my taste :mrgreen: and looks awful, will cut it a bit so it will not be so long :)
Got with the car very good winter tires and some goodies as spareparts :) Never liked those whells that are on the car cause thought they are utterly ugly but they look pretty good in flesh, well, original BMW "web" rims or some "16 are planned :)

Since white in very popular overhere **** I got it in white :P

ARMAN 11-03-2006 05:02 PM

:P sure sure come Dani :wink:

how did I know that you gonna reply first on this topic? :shock: :D

5vz-fe 11-03-2006 05:06 PM

Congrats mate!! That engine should be quite bullet proof, unless u done something stupid, u shouldn't need to put much money into it.

dutchmasterflex 11-03-2006 05:23 PM

Congrats on your sweet E30 ;)

the 1.8 is a pretty decent engine.. A good friend of mine had a 1984 TC Baur 318i with only 60k on the clock.. but it wasnt really kept in good condition while it sat in a lot outside for a few years. The convertible top pretty much got destroyed and the engine needed a full tune up.. sadly he didnt have enough money to fix it up and sold it to a BMW collector for a steal.

All in all it's a great car to have some fun in. I hope to pick one of these up in a few years.

TopGearNL 11-03-2006 05:40 PM

Congrats on the Beemer Arman! :D

We all know how you talked about getting one and here it is! I hope that it will give you no problems and only joy and pleasure for many many miles! :wink:

:D very nice! glad to see things are better and your back!

ae86_16v 11-03-2006 10:58 PM

Welcome back Arman. I don't know if you know that I lost my E30 a few months back:

http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41958

So seeing yours definitely makes it nostalgic. Your car definitely looks very nice. Actually, in the US a 318i/318iS is more preferable than the 325i that I got. I was actually looking for a good example until I came across the 325i, which ended being too good to past up.

I think the biggest thing with those cars are the Timing Chain. So make sure you have that replace or check to see if it has been replaced. And of course, as with all BMWs make sure you pay close attention to the thermostat, the water pump, and the radiator.

I heard a lot of E30 M3 parts fit for that car :D . Keep us updated!

Congralutions on the purchase!!!

P.s. Alpine White is an awesome color! :) (Okay, I am a bit bias too.)

Daggernite 11-03-2006 11:05 PM

Congrats Arman, thats a sweet ride you have there! Im not too knowledgable on BMW's so I cant offer any valuable advice. But I can say that it looks fab and I love it in white! Interior looks nice and classy and im sure you will enjoy been a BMW driver. :D

ZfrkS62 11-04-2006 01:23 AM

great looking 318 arman :D Nice to see you back as well :D

good luck with it :D

Igorionia 11-04-2006 03:28 AM

Finally :wink: My congratulations fella! What mods will be first ? :D
Hope i'll get one next season too

bmwmpower 11-04-2006 03:36 AM

congratulation arman, its from E30 forum ?

ARMAN 11-04-2006 04:55 AM

Thanx for comments guys :)

@ae86_16v - 318iS are on same level as 325 here too, i prefered the 325 thou cause of V6 engine note :P Thanx for advice ;)

@Igorionia - no mods yet only needed checks and fixes for the lady :) and for the future - bixenons, anatomic M-tech seats(or black/red leather depends on money), nice decent double exhaust :)

@bmwmpower - yes and it took alot of time to find the one I was looking for - beautiful and in good condition :P but as you can see its possible(well I hope its ok)

Man... its absolutely fascinating to wake up in the morning as a beemer owner LOL :P :twisted: theres nothing like it... except waking up as Ferrari, Lambo or Porsche owner :oops: :mrgreen: hehe

saadie 11-04-2006 05:22 AM

shitttt thats a beemer :P
congrats arman :) good to see everyhting is goign well :)
take good care of your new baby ...

you need to get married? LOL :mrgreen:

TT 11-04-2006 05:41 AM

Great! So you finally did it! The E30 is such a nice and funny car to drive! You'll love it and will cover many km with it!

MIHALS 11-04-2006 09:04 AM

And you didn't tell me anything? :x

You bugger!!!

but I'm really really happy for you that you have what you were dreaming about (atleast E30 :D ). now it's time to act like most of Czech BMW owners - buy an ///M badge on her :roll: :fuck: :mrgreen:
Hope you'll have a LOT of fun with her, especially these days when the white stuff is falling down - let's get the fun started on the snow!!! :D :D :D
can't wait when you'll give me a ride :wink:

Take a very good care obout her and treat her as best as you can!!!

ARMAN 11-04-2006 10:20 AM

Hey lost friend :) How can I let you know if you are never online? :( You need to come now to make some decent pics/vids :P :twisted:

Damn I am glad its 1.8 not 2.5 the ass is kicking on the side on wet aphalt already :shock: thats my first time experience with RWD :oops: everyone was telling me that I'll crash my first beemer it in the winter but I make them be wrong! :mrgreen:

MIHALS 11-04-2006 10:23 AM

well you saw what happened yesterday in Prague? 23 cars crashed on the ice covered road :( .... so be carefull!!!

I'll gladly come over when I have some free time :wink:

ae86_16v 11-04-2006 10:43 AM

Maybe you should've got the extremely rare 325iX. :D

ARMAN 11-04-2006 11:18 AM

:) it would eat me alive by the fuel consuption :mrgreen: + 4WD is no fun :wink:

Mihals - didnt knew that :shock: Gladly I wasnt there with summer tires :)

MIHALS 11-05-2006 09:49 AM

TopGearNL 11-05-2006 11:30 AM

/\/\ LOL at the above comments

Mihals Halloween is over! :P

draak666 11-05-2006 11:57 AM

Hi Arman, nice to hear form you again. And congrats on you latest purchase. In Belgium white is quite a rare colour, but I think it looks nice on your car. 8)

I don't know for sure in the E30 range, but in the E36 the 1.8 is actually to be prefered over the 2.0 because the engine is a lot lighter and therefore the car handles better. But I admit that I'm looking for a 2.5 (not a V engine though) to be my next car also. :mrgreen:

BTW, I've covered 270k kms wth mine and I'm sure it'll go over 300k without problem, so no need to worry about BM's reliability.

If this is your first RWD car, I advise you to go out and play on a big parking lot before pushing your car ino a wet corner on the open road. :wink:

ARMAN 11-05-2006 05:30 PM

Yep, I'd love to practice cant find the empty parking lot thou the one I had right by my house was closed cause too many people was practicing there too much :mrgreen: I need some f@ked up tires too to do so cause my heart will bleed to practice with good tires on tarmak :oops: but no, I should do it anyways or it can be too late then your right :wink:

draak666 11-06-2006 04:43 PM

Max Power 11-07-2006 01:31 PM

congratz on the car man, but somehow i feel u got robbed....you should have told them that the sentimental value on the Lada is at least 6k and went for the M3 E30

Mattk 11-07-2006 08:33 PM

Nice car. I'm sure it's a better drive than the Lada.

ARMAN 11-08-2006 02:10 PM

Thanx guys :P its too weak for drifts only on snow probably... cant wait :twisted:

First JW member got a ride in her today :P

dont like AZEV's really but they do fit e30 and they are 16"s, also very good choice are Borbet T but they are a bit more expensive, imho one of the nicest for e30(non M3).

TopGearNL 11-18-2006 01:39 PM

Go for it, they're all better then the standard ones :lol:

stradale 11-20-2006 01:57 PM

Congrats from a fellow Beemer owner, ARMAN!!! :D

Quite a difference with the Lada, I suppose? :wink:

You can have a lot of fun with an E30 in snowy conditions. Is it already snowing in Prague or do you have to wait a while for some serious drifting?

ARMAN 11-20-2006 03:13 PM

Thanx Stradale ;) No snow yet :bah: cannot wait for it really! :P

Yep is a "bit" different that having a Lada :mrgreen: and I love it :twisted: :wink:

MIHALS 11-20-2006 03:23 PM

:oops: :P

@Max Power - however good the Lada was, and it was in better condition, the lack of power litterally pissed me off everytime I was driving it. Cant say when the lack of power will start to piss me off in this car :lol: BMW owners predicted that it will be very soon 8)

antonioledesma 11-22-2006 10:27 PM

Arman, at last you got your hands on a E30!! :D
of course it's the first one, so keep saving each coin you find.

it's an excellent topic to read in my comeback after a while 8)

BADMIHAI 11-23-2006 12:45 AM

I am so happy for you, Arman! I'm not sure if you remember but the E30 is also a dream for me. 8)

ARMAN 11-23-2006 09:26 AM

Antonio - saving any coin I find but damn me these days noone looses coins :( :mrgreen: Welcome back havent seen you for a long time :wink:
