We had the pleasure of taking a few snaps of Sam's tidy E30 sedan. Sam has had this car for a long time! Matter of fact it was his first car and over the years hes made changes to suit his taste and style.
The biggest change was ditching the old 2 litre 6 banger and upgrading to a 2.5 litre straight 6, which makes all the right noises and has plenty of go. He's spent hours on this car to make it something a bit different from every other E30 which we'll give it to him is hard, there's so many of them around but rarely any 4 doors that make you take a second look.
Some may think he's a mad man, at one stage he spent a week almost filing down tabs and casting marks off of the intake manifold to give it a much cleaner look and something that you and I may not notice at first glance, unless of course you're a BMW nut like Sam. With the help of his Uncle, the two of them painted the car in a garage.... yep a garage... you woulndnt even think about that the paint quality is amazing.
Sam's been pounded by his mates and randoms asking when hes going to turbo it, Sam's reaction is little to none as he has no plans on ditching the trusty naturally aspirated 6 banger that sings at every RPM. He's even thrown the idea of doing a 2.7 litre stroker, I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for this old girl.
