Rare find? - Craigus - 04-02-2014
E30 325i 4x4
I think it must be pretty rare, i've never heard of one before.

That's pretty cool. The 'X' models are offered on the continent and in the States where they have cold weather long enough to justify the need for AWD. Over here some would argue (myself included) that our short-lived winters really don't represent a market for them, so they were never sold here afaik.
That appears to have had a LHD/RHD conversion at some point?
I wonder how easy it would be to get spares?

I can't remember if it was BMW but I'm pretty sure it was. One manufacturer would offer their continental cars to the UK in a right hand drive format, suitable for the UK roads for a substantial amount more than a typical UK equivalent "off the shelf" model.

RE: Rare find? - Jimbo - 04-02-2014

most of that you can pick up from a scrappy, ( if you can find a e36 in that shape)
the 4x4 system id have thought bmw them selves
RE: Rare find? - Dum-Dum - 07-02-2014
It is and isnt rare (like the E30 324TDS) there is "plenty" on the continent. I didnt think they made them over here due to the 4x4 stuff fouling the steering system on RHD so they stayed LHD
RE: Rare find? - Martin306 - 07-02-2014
Reminds me of the 4x4 citroen AX. It was never sold here because of climate.
Or the mk2 Golf Country

Not quite the same mate, the Country has jacked-up suspension, body mouldings, tailgate mounted spare, looks like a proper offroader...

I know of a guy who has a Dangel 505, apparently it's too far gone to save though

BULL SHIT.
Get the running gear and stick it on another Peugeot.
Basically, that means he doesn't want to sell it.

Well I'm pretty sure the shell itself is the same, so I don't see why he won't, but he won't. He's got an outbuilding full of attractive metal that he won't part with
