E30 First Post

Post date: Mar 14, 2011 9:56:50 AM

Well I finally bought an E30 BMW 318i Coupe, with a manual gearbox.

Great fun to drive. It is a bit bogan, so like the ute, I will remove the tinting and put a chrome grill insert back into it.

For now it is a spare car as our other car (Suzuki XL7) needs to go in for quite a few repairs.

Maybe it will become my next electric vehicle conversion if I can find a particular water cooled 33kW induction motor. If it does become an EV, then it will most certainly need to have some respectable times at the drags!

Here are some pictures to get started.
