the first car i drove (without a driving license) was my father's 1984 Alfetta 2.0.. it was red. i loved it!! yes, saw it rusting by the roadside in Dungun some years back. i hope somebody resurrected it.. WAP9482, you know it?

sorry bro.. jangan la terasa pulak

haha..takde hal la encik mizhan.

MC, unless if you plan to do modifications / upgrades into your engine, then i would suggest you go for 6 potters. A good condition 323i is surely a catch, though nowadays there are not much of them lying around selling themselves if you know what i mean. An alternative to that is the newer Motronic 325i facelifted E30 (with the galvanized body). Less headache with rust issue, and more modern tail light look. A standard 318i or 320i (although 6 potter) might not impress you if you've try driven a 323i or above.

Wahhh banyak nye "barang" boleh main kat Mudah utk E30 nie... rasa nak beli barang sbelum beli kereta hehehee...

How i wish Alfetta following was half as good in Malaysia... semua parts kena order hehehe

Anyway I just realised I have a spare M30B35 E23 735i sitting (garaged) at Ipoh for the last 6 years... Now 218hp in an E30 would be a lot of fun hehehe...

(Just my evil side is thinking now...)

an E30 would require some surgery (and a thick wallet) for an M30 to go in and handle the weight.. but yes, possible.

hi guys,
i'm newbie here, i also currently 'window shopping' the E30 & i've called most of the E30 owner/seller advert on the Mudah.
just need more clarifications/advice, which engine should be better in terms of performance & maintainance?, the 6 cylinder 2.0cc or the M40?

bro, use the Borak2 E30 thread. you can have the honour of inviting for the next gathering. pick a suitable time and venue. rasta is now used as a flea market on weekends so need to find other place. you may know of a good spot with plenty of parking like the jelutong place Pussy called the 3-series meet.

post your name as attendee 1., and myself as attendee 2., King Eric 3.

i'm sure we'll get to see at least twenty E30's this time :top:
