Hahaha! I know you want this car with a sore heart, so does this other fella. Keeps on hounding me!
I must send those rims in for a proper refurb as soon as I can get my car to a mechie.
Ah man! This car. I really just want to see her at her FULL potential. That being said, I don't think many people will do the car as much justice as you! :thumbs:
That being said, my business has gone up for formal sale before the e30 :fencelook: :roflol:

Haha! I need to get the throwing stars, for now I have the turbines but I am missing the center caps. Just waiting on those then the wheels will go in for a full refurb.
If push comes to shove though, the turbines will be up for sale, the 15" TSW's will go with the car and I will keep the e28 M5 Style 5's.

I remember when your 320i gave my 320i a hiding and some girl was hanging out of the drivers seat.
Would you like me to give you a call to tell you all about how a running e30 feels? :tiptoe:

It's been a slight while since this thread was updated, so along with a For Sale post will come some updates along with it.
Along with a relocation to Port Elizabeth has come some work done to the car, but unfortunately it seems as if I may not get around to the full scope of work that I would have liked to have done.
Some of the work done:
- Cambelt
- Waterpump
- Tensioner
- Cam Seals
- Thermostat
- All belts
- Gearbox Fluid flush and change
- Diff oil flush and change
- Full Service
- Minor Detail on the paintwork and interior
I am sure I am missing a few things, but I also acquired a few other parts and pieces to go onto the car including an original set of e28 M5 style 5 16" and the e28 M5 spoiler.
This car really is a time capsule, and the more work done on it the more I get to see just how much of this car has been untouched for the most part from the factory.
All the bolts and clamps right down to the bulbs in the lights seem to be the original parts from factory installation! IT IS CRAZY to think a 30 year old car still has so much originality to it in spite of the owners not really being car people per se. Even down to the paper gasket installed when the throttle body was first installed at the factory. Cracking bolts that haven't been loosened since the car was built is quite a crazy experience espeically when those bolts are quite likely as old as I am and have fared much better. Haha.
I will update the thread later with some pics of the findings and the work done on the car as well.

In 2020 I managed to source a set of e28 M5 16” style 5’s that are in need of a refurb and 3 original centre caps, we well as the e28 M5 rear boot spoiler.
Love the look on the e30, just haven’t had the means to get around to refurbing and fitting.
LOOOOVE the look though.
