Hey Guys,

Hope you are keeping well and enjoying this sunshine?
Its abit late in the making but here is a link to the video I made on my old school E30 BMW. It has wind up windows and circular head lights if anyone wants to check it out?

Thanks, Thomas :)

Still my favorite 3 series in 2 door form I was actually buying one of these many moons ago around 92/93 if I remember but could not find a good car in my budget I wanted a facelift 325 2 door Auto but ended up buying my Calibra which I really enjoyed owning for a good few years.

Nice video, but I think yours might have become a money pit, sadly.

In 1985 I was working with a girl whose boyfriend had an early 325i in HennaRot and I thought it was a great car. But budget meant I had Fast Fords back then, and as I was buying my first house that year my Capri 2.8 Injection (also manual windows & sunroof) had to go towards the deposit. :(

Still I eventually got my 1st BMW in 2005 - even if it was a diesel. But being an E46 Compact it did have 4 separate headlights like your E30!
