Here you are my daily runner: an original and unrestored 315, built back in 1981 but first registered in 1983 (five days before than my E30 323i).
It's actually fitted a 318 engine (so not so original as I said), but that was already done when I saved the car from the scrapyard.
Some new tires, new sparks and leads, an oil change, a new radiator, new halogen lamps, etc... and ready to serve as a loyal and reliable daily commuter.
Still a few things to do in my wish list, such as a complete respray, a new set of crossed spokes alloys from an E30, a pair of Hella fog lights and maybe a new steering wheel. Hope you'll like it...











Best regards....

Nice.

looks nice and clean, mate.
looks like tenerife no.plates and background too. is that where you are?
can't think of a better daily driver, just got one myself as a daily last month!

Thank you for your comments, guys...

Rocco: Yes, I'm from Tenerife, as you've said. Given the fact that the car is a classic one, I haven't swapped the original plates for the new "european" ones, those real ugly plates with no provincial identification and a stupid series of random numbers and letters...
And yes, this is the landscape around La Laguna, in the northern area of Tenerife. Actually, I live there
We've got a very damp and foggy weather here in the north. A really enjoyable matter everytime you drive an old Bimmer around the secondary roads
Best regards....

I used to be a rep in Las Americas back in the day. Wicked surf.

Nice place Las Américas, Retrobeemer......specially if you like suntanning and beer drinking for silly money
Anyway, too hot here for me....except when I go there by night to enjoy a few pints of Worthingtons

Cheers..

oh my, i do miss tenerife. been going for the last 20 years, and i spent a lot of time there in my 20's. (a few years ago). used to go for long vacations as my friends lived/worked there.
i worked in las americas for 6 months one time,but stayed in los christianos. love the island. there is actually a few nice classic cars out there if you know where to look.
i remember seeing a couple of nasty car crashes in the south, when it rained! don't think they were used to the wet.
all the no.plates were like that 15 years ago, thats why i recognised it!
regards, rocco.
