ANNOUNCEMENT: Amendments to posting classified ads in BMWCCP Forum

In order to further protect the interest of BMW enthusiasts, visitors, club members and our club sponsors and to facilitate the sale of BMW-related items in this forum, the following amendments to posting classified ads will be implemented effective immediately:

1. Pictures of the item on sale must be posted. Click here on instructions on how to post pictures. An alternative is to post a link to another site where pictures of the item can be seen. It is recommended to post a front, side, back, engine bay and interior shots of the vehicle as these are the most common requests of prospective buyers.

2. The price for the item/vehicle must be posted.

3. That vehicles posted for sale must declare whether papers are complete or not (i.e. taxes paid)

4. The seller must respond to those who inquire within 48 hours.

5. Items that conflict with a club sponsor's product or services should not be posted as a matter of courtesy. The 7 sponsors and their major products and/or services:
5.1. Caltex - fuel and lubricants
5.2. Tumi - luggage, bags, wallets
5.3. PIAA - lighting, wipers, horns and rims
5.4. Concept One - Rims
5.5. RCBC - bank products and services
5.6. Globe - telco services an products
5.7. Bridgestone - tires

6. We allow the sale of BMW-related items that may be in conflict with our sponsor products and services, for as long as it isn't for commercial purposes. It should be along the lines of disposing the personally owned item.

7. BMWCCP members may sell non-BMW items in the Flea Market section of the Member's Only Area.

8. Failure to observe the above guidelines will result in having the thread locked. Locked threads will remain accessible for reference unless the administrators deem it necessary to delete it if deemed inappropriate (e.g. offensive, misleading, non-BMW items, etc).

9. All existing posts should comply by August 31st, 2010. We will lock the threads where we deem it is not compliant with the new guidelines.


We look forward to your compliance with our new guidelines and rules. Thank you and enjoy your visit!

Easy to maintain and parts ( also performance parts) readily available. Also test drive the 325i(high reving), 325e(low reving, high torque) and 318i (frugal) then decide which "flavor" you want.

I guess everything boils down to know the history of the car when your buying....you can be at peace if the owner is a car enthusiast which you can ask directly what are the things that had been replaced or need to be replaced...E30s can easily be maintained and be a daily driver to you if its well pampered...Its BMW so you need to take a little pampering...hehehe........I know it coz my e30 had served me for such a long time and its still in very much tiptop condition....
Parts can be ordered at BASICS and even on the club where one of the enthusiast imports parts and accessories on a per order basis which is reasonably priced...and to top it all...once your drivin' an E30 whether it be an M3, 325, 320 etc...as long as the parts and accessories you put is ERA correct...Damn your e30 will be turnin' heads...

easy to maintain? yes! not much electronics on this car and it shares several parts from M20 5ers so spares are not too hard to come buy used and brand new ones are always available through basics or Mark168.

I believe all E30 owners will agree with me on this... What makes E30 ownership enjoyable is the fact that besides the rewarding driving experience, maintaining and searching for parts is actually a major part of the fun factor.

I have to agree with Patrick. Easy to maintain. Come to think of it, the quest to look for parts and mods is what makes this era quite interesting. Not too hard to find stuff, not too dependent on electronics. Rides very well too.

You gotta have Mark168 and Derf Roa on speed dial if you own an E30.

After all mechanicals and electricals are done; you now think of aesthetic mods like:

a BBS wrap around bodykit
