Hi!
I resently discoverd this forum so I'm quite new here, I'm pleased to see that there are so manny people with this rare model.
Here in Sweden were only ~46 models of the 318is E30 imported by BMW Sweden. So it's very special to own one, especialy when mine is in this fine condition.

Gorgeous car! love the black colour, the grilles set it off niceley! Did you buy them black, or spray them? If sprayed, what procedure did you use?
Welcome to the forum too :)
-
welcome to the club. Like Sweden, there is not many 318is in Norway either, about 20-30.
-
Hejsan,
welcome , i tought there where more IS models in Sweden, interesting information. It's about the same situation in the other neigbouhr country, in Finland about same amount imported like in Norway.
Your car looks absolutely great ! What wheels are you using? EDIT: i noticed you have Asa imola 17" wheels
btw sorry about the hockey ;)
-
@Letsplayskatch: I sprayed the grill black, firt I blasted the chrome of then sprayed it in the same colous as the rest of the car. Diamantschwartz ;)

oh^^ that was some hard words for a Swede :P Do you mean the "grey"tinted light on the fronfenders behind the frontwheels? In that case I don't know. They are bought in that colour. But I havn't seen them in the shops for a long time so I don't think they are available annymore.
-

In Europe they should be available, at least german "tune-shop" FK sells them. All shops which sells FK stuff here in
Finland have them.

That's correct, lots of finns emigrated to Sweden in the 60's when finnish economy was not in so great shape, especially in the northern parts of the country.
You swedes have such a luck when having Finland between your country and Russia, you had a "Safty-bumber", so you did not have to take a part to WW II, you were able to develope your country and economics in the 40's-50's. We fought against over 200 million inhabitant nation and during that time our country's population was under 4 million. We were the only country who was not occupied (war losing one) after the war. Just look what happend to the baltic countries, Poland, Tsheks,Bulgaria,Romania,eastern part of Germany etc.etc. Even tough we were attacked by the russians we have to pay a huge amount of money and goodies to them after the war. It took us the whole 50's and big part of the '60's to bring back our economy to the western level. Nowadays our economy is at least the same level as Sweden has.It is also in top EU level, like also Sweden has. To all of our younger american friends: Finland was the only country in the world who paid pack to you all of it's world debts. That's for the history this time.

Thank you for the historylesson. :)

You're wellcome ;)
There are still quite a lot movement between Finland & Sweden, i know a lot of Swedes who have moved to Finland and work here. also vice versa. I have some relatives living in north of Göteborg, but their parents moved there in the late 40's. It was easy, because they were already swedish spoking. Finland is still bi-linqual country, two official lanquages; finnish & swedish. After all we have a long history together, when Finland was part of Sweden.
It's so easy to take a ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm or plane from Helsinki to Arlanda and visit friends in Sweden, which i have a lot :)
-
Yes it is. But I still find it hard understand how our languages can be so different. Norweig, Denmark and Sweden can almost always understand eachother but Finnish is quite a mess^^
I have some Finnish friends to, ofcours in the Swedish-spoken region Vasa :P
-
Finnish does not belong to the same lanquage group as Swedish,Norweigan,Danish etc. Our lanquage is part of Fenno-Hungarian group, where belong Finnish, Estonian & Hungarian. I sometimes wonder how Hungarian can be part of this lanquage group because it is so different. It's quite easy to us to understand Estonian though. Most Finns understand Swedish even though it's somtimes difficult to speak it.
I used to have manadatory Swedish at school, it was considered as a second domestic lanquage. Then i had three foreign lanquages as well, English,French & German

Hey great looking E30 :) looks amazing, sits perfectly! What size are your wheels? 17X8?
or 7.5? Do you have spacers? if so what size? Thanks !
-
in my village there are 60% finnjävlar^^
finnjävlar ?
when one comes from Finland?
i should start using ¨ on different lëtters toö, soünds cool hehe löl
nice looking car btw
-
It's funny even tough Finnish & Swedish belongs to totally different lanquage group our PC keybord is the same.
I suppose you have quite a few Finnjävlar (Finnish bastard's) also in Canada and northern US states like Minnesota & Illinois.
In Finnish & Swedish these special letters, Å,Ä,Ö are pronounced totally different compared to A,O etc.
I am not even sure does your PC's character set support directly these Finnish/Swedish character sets, in some cases these letters usually can be seen as # and @ in US character set PC's

...i go to sweden this summer!!!!!!!:D:D:D

hahaha, you don't know anything about foreign languages do you? :P
Like Ose30 said. ÅÄÖ is letters in our alfabeth. So I'm not being "cool" using them, just normal.
dpg318is: It's the Asa imola 17" 215/40/17, and yes I have spacers. The wheels were too big :P I don't know the size on them but I can check it up.
Swiss: What shall you do in Sweden? :P
