Just a quick word to say that after 5 years I'm back in the e30 crew. What do you think?

I had 3 e30's before going onto 5's. I just love the e30 cabriolet and would swap the 5 for one just like that.  I always look in all forums

Very VERY nice. I like that a lot. Is it a genuine motorsport car of mTeched specced from new? Will we see it at Gaydon?

been out today in mine and it was fantastic. Days like today make it all worthwhile.

Nice! Very Nice! I've just bought an e30 325 convertible (pics in an old post) but mine is much rougher than yours! I've bought it as a project car and hope to have any bumps, rust, scratches dealt with, then have a full respray.

I noticed someone mentioned a respray on yours - was that after you bought it? If so how much work have you had done to it? Hope you don't mind me asking, just preparing myself for how much work I'll have to put in! (well, I'm going to have to pay someone to do most of it unfortunately!)

Hi Alex, yes I've just had the respray done and the M-Tech 2 Kit put on. I bought some Alpina wheels but every one is buckled so I'm in the process of testing Paypals worth!!

it's just that it has the full M tech2 body kit as per the motorsport. Was that factory fitted or a later addition.

I must admit I love the motorsport look as a series two but on an undressed car, love the purity of the chrome bumper cars as mine is. It's the only thing I would change mine for, an original Mauritious Blue Motorsport manual.

See you there. I'll be on Ron's e30 stand.

I've just fitted the kit, I didn't like the deep black sills on the car, I've got some spares if your after some ie. Front bumper rear bumper all the black strips down the side, rear lip spoiler (I think, I haven't made my mind up yet-M-Tech or Lip Spoiler)
See you there then Whitey
