E30 sport wheel will not fit your car Mark, boss is different. splines on column are different. I have a Mountney boss which is designed for E23 up to 1982. its a new old stock item. Do you want it for a £5 when we meet up next Sunday? you will need to buy a nice Mountney or other aftermarket wheel off fleabay. I got a really nice momo for just £5 for VJ. ------------- Philip '86 E23 735iA SE - Polaris - The Silver Surfer '85 E23 735iA SE - Cosmos Blue - VJ '86 E28 528iA SE - Dia Black - Helga '86 E23 728iA SE - Polaris - The CHAV mobile |

Tickets are available on the gate, but it is best to buy your ticket in advance.

Mark My Stepdad has an X Reg 735i SE which had all the knobs and whistles (not sure if he is breaking it or selling it off to a scrappie) it may have some bits you may be interested in... like the sports steering wheel?? If you're interested let me know and I'll ask him... Cheers

Grahame, some more info please. Is it in a poor condition, or is he scrapping because he can't sell? I'd like to see more of these early 7's saved.
I am hoping that there will be an equally good turn out this year as was last years, so come along, more e23's the better! |

| Cont me in on the Gaydon meet.It is good to know that there are like minded people out there who don't disregard the E23. We all know by looking in the BMW mags that they cater for the masses ie E30, E36 etc. |

Grahame, why isn't it roadworthy? Is it rusty. failed mot or does it have mechanical problems? How long has he owned it, and what is the over all condition of the car as a whole. It looks pretty straight in those pictures.
AG Mark, where tickets are concerned, try the club office. |

Hi Guys My stepdad has owned it from new...... I'm really sorry about this, but having just rung him for some background it appears he's just sold it this week to a scrap dealer guy.... Sorry I got all your hopes up! As I said he has had it from new (bought from the old Coopers dealership which was in Henley at the time). It was a Special Equipment model with all the extras too! He now has an 850. Once again apologies for the cock up on my part! I should have rung him first!! All the best.
