WTB e30

[kgb]

This the one park at Tmn Bolton workshop?

many thanks to all, i wouldn't want a car parked at workshop, i got two of my own parked at workshop, so thanks, but no thanks hehehehe

Latest update on my e30 search:

had to stretch my budget a bit and thanks to flexible seller, we've kinda worked out win-win arrangement ( i think). So, if all goes well and in accordance with a plan, I might be lucky enough to have it by this coming Monday or Wednesday the latest.

Car seem to run fine, all seems to be in reasonable condition, practically no or very minimal rust. Milage is on high side, around 400K++++ so lets hope it is not original engine or engine can kick for another year or two OR until one of my cars is out.

Will not be posting any pics of the ride, not goign to waste anyone's time, as you all know it very well.

post some pictures and description. I am trying very hard to poison a good friend of mine, he is eager to get a different car, getting bored of his current diesel truck. I think e30 is something that he likes.

PM or post here, would be great.

Pls indicate your selling price, nego or not. Do let us know of any issues with the car, rust spots and etc, you'll be surprised how much honest seller can get away with.

Nice car, saw it on Mudah. Will let my friend know once your price and condition is clear.

Thanks.

Just a quick update. This might come in handy for e30 buyers.

On a 3rd day of e30 ownership, i finally took it to mechanic to do a full service.

Upon hoisting up the vehicle and conducting through inspection, following was revealed:

- engine mountings in need of replacement (will do tomorrow)
- clutch and break fluids had to be replaced (done)
- long shaft is due for replacement (not that bad, so will slowly hunt around for a cheap cheap one)
- steering rod coupling (done)
- steering link free play(done)
- both front wheel bearings (done)
- one rear wheel bearing (done)
- engine oil and filter change (done)
- timing belt (will do first thing in the morning tomorrow)
- both drive shafts are out, one of them is jamming up already (will do tomorrow)
- engine tune up needs to be done
- rear axle oil was like shit (changed)
- exhaust was cracked in 3 places (welded)

Thats about it, left about RM1,600 at the shop and will have to fork out about the same tomorrow :rock:

I think, if i was to bring it to perfection, as far as reliability goes (not talking about aesthetics here), I'll have to fork out about 5-6K.

But it feels right though, worth every penny hehehehe

p.s.my wife said this: :motz:

i'm glad you're happy

bro kgb,don't worry what you have done is a normal for a car more than 15 year,later on you will really feel the ultimate driving machine.

Thanks fellows. Not really worried, i've expected nothing less. I am actually enjoying it, coz every time i do something, spend money, change this and that, car becomes better. So i can't wait to see how well it is going to run once i change my jammed up drive shafts heheheheh I expect Fuel Consumption to improve as well.

Its a journey.

Special thanks to En. Mizhan for introducing me to a BMW mechanic.

p.s. some fellow reversed into me yesterday, slightly dented driver's door. Cry till no tears, but nothing can be done, friend-friend maaaah! :21:
