Just found some pics of the beast.... 1991 325i SE Full Black Leather too.... *sigh*   and then, after the tractor 'incident' he was indicating right, but his trailer board wasn't, so I overtook... got level with the cab, and he turned across me (at about 65ish)... resulting evasive action = NB - I was heading the other way beforehand   Gutted was not the word......  |

OOPS!! That's kind of heartbreaking! (You didn't manage to salvage anything, by any chance....?) |

All is not lost... the car still lives (as far as I know) Insurance weren't involved..... the farmer 'squirmed' and the trailer miraculously disappeared  So I got my Disco, dragged the car out of the ditch, and sold it on Ebay, and as I say - it still lives as far as I know..... It was just over a year ago.... and it still hurts to see the pics.... the tyre tracks were on the road for months! |

That's good to know!! P.S. Where were the "before" piccies taken? Woburn? Yardley Hastings? Looks like a good location anyway!  |

The only 'spares' I have left... well It's a spare really.... I've got one BBS Wheel (15") BADLY kerbed though.... if you want it though, you're welcome to it!  |

I'll pass on that wheel!
All mine (inc. spare) are pretty good. Although my piccies don't show it, I've also got all the original centre caps living in the boot: These only go on "for best", else the local toe-rags would probably soon have them away!

No worries.... My centre caps all got nicked....  hadn't had the car long either! B'stards! Pictures were taken at Stowe...just under the corinthian arch (currently under scaffolding!)  A top location (and only about 2 miles away!) |

I have a real soft spot for those E30's, the image of the car is starting to improve, after years of abuse, the bad ones are slowly disappearing and the good ones will be looked after....well actually thats not strictly true, but it definitely the best looking of all of the 3 series.
I almost bought a cheap E30 318iS like Nicks a few years back.....but the car was doggy rough, and the owner replaced that precious M-head lump with a tired V6, the alloys were kerbed and the ashtray full.
I'll have mine in red too please!

Thanks! Know what you mean about the image thing: When I was down in North London last weekend, I saw no end of these being driven by scary looking types who looked like they would shoot you if you looked at them sideways!!  Lots of tints and bling!! As for me: I'm just a big jessie, and about as and "gangsta" as goldie looking' chain.... ;D |
