The Edition E's also had the wider E12 5-series seats and the multispoke alloys in Opal as well. These parts may have gone lost over time of course. No records were kept, but if it has all the goodies and considering it's a late reg, it is likely to be one! Photo's please!

It has the alloys, not sure how wide the seats should be ?!

How do i upload pics? from photobucket or similar?

Cheers

hmmmm now what to do?

Ive had various e30's 325 sports, m3 etc. Quite fancied another e30 m3 or 2002 but they fetch too much

So bought this spur of the moment and then realised i dont have time to restore it or really the space.
So put it on ebay...........

Everyday im looking at it thinking id love to restore it.........now knowing its a ltd edition im thinking i should do it?!

Any idea how many were made? What would it be worth restored? finding it hard to price e21's!

If you're going to keep it, once registered to you, just send V888 (or V555 maybe? another elderly moment) and request all details of previous keepers. I quite enjoy tracing a cars history.

All I know at the moment is that it was bought new from vines bmw Guildford

Didn't want to go digging too far, as the cars.thirty years old.

Some if the privies owners might not be around anymore?!

Going to put it in for mot on Monday, then should be able to find out some mileage history

Seen its on ebay not a bad price at the mo.
But are you keeping it or not.
As a guy I know was thinking on bidding on it and I told him to hold on I case the car gets pulled of.

Torn on what to do ATM!

If I keep it, I'd have to do the m50 conversion........

I've done all the mot work, should be tested tomorrow?!

Maybe a drive in it will make my mind up
