[Simon998]

Well im interested in a 325i E30 beemer.


The ad on a local forum

''I have an 87 E30 325i Sport that i might sell if i get enough interest.. Delphin grey(no such colour as dolphin) BMWSH, recaro interior, bbs sport rims, lowered, bilstiens, Waiting on a date from the mot man.. Tidy car and goes like a rocket!!!!! £1600 PM your email 4pics No Dreamers Please...''

He said i could lift the car for £1400, now i jus passed my test, im 18, is there any cheap insurance for old BMW's???

insurance and fuel will kill ya....dunno exact figures but it'll be loads
quite like the RWD idea though

[Simon998]

either a 325i or a 205XS/1.9GTi are my next car choices.

altho this 325i is cheap and fckin amazing lookin. i would like to get a year outa my mini before i slap a 1275 Metro turbo engine in it and garage it untill summer every year.

[EasyRob]

either way, i reckon the insurance wud kill you.

put it this way..

im 18, 19 in june, driving since february.
low-crime area
8,000 miles per yr
fully comp insurance,
Astra mk3, 1.4, 5 door petrol

under my dads name it is £640 .... in my own cheapest i cud find is £1200 odd.

[EasyRob]

ask him very nicely for the numberplate.. or find a same-spec beemer where u can find the plate...

plug it into a few insurance sites to get an idea.

One of the best ways to get your insurance down is the pass plus test.
I think it about £100 to do an its not really a test, more a course if im correct.
Once youve done it though it counts as 1 yrs no claims, so a big 30% discount. Thats a hell of a lot when you are a new driver.

[Simon998]

well Fully comp n my 998, all engine mods/body mods included Nothern ireland insurance (Add about 40 per-***in-cent to your nomal quote as soon as u mention that) for the year, on my own name was

£666.97

Sports are so expensive at the moment. It does surprise me. Good cars though.

I'm hoping to get an E30 in the New Year, probably not a sport though, a 325 and swap over some goodies. Ideally, I'd like an M3 but can you really justify £5-6k for a d/e reg?? It would have to be mintier than mint.

Spend a bit more and get as late a sport as you can get with an E30.
M tech 2 kits on later ones look soo much nicer. Check for rust under the kit if possible too- even the later mint ones can have it as it is a water trap.

There are a LOT of fake sports about too- i looked at some right sheds and blatant replicas. Black headlining is one big clue as to a genuine sport as well as loads of other differences
Finding a decent convertible motorsport was even harder lmao

www.e30zone.co.uk Plenty of advice (and cars for sale if you are serious) on there.

[Andy K]

I think I prefer the 325 looks rather than an M3

[Sooty]

I insure this for £193 fully comp and with any mods.



Unfortunately, I'm an old sod (34) and I'm limited to 1500 road miles per year !!
