The Foreign Affair

Its been quite some time since we had a full post and even since longer since we've done any features. As some of you know, this was due to the show we hosted called the MaftownsDopest Spin-Fest. Since the work was all done from the event we decided to head down for a small break in Johannesburg where we were able to do a number of features.

The first feature from the series is the beautiful import e30 you see here belonging to Mohammed Sheik Rassool who is no stranger to the automotive scene in SA. Some of you may know him from the online magazine he runs called 'Car Candy Inc'.

Moe explained that the passion he has for cars started off from the time he was young. As most of us did, he too admired and would dream of owning certain cars one day. He started of with VW due to financial reasons but explains that his true passion has always been for BMW as his father worked there for many years. Moe prefers old school cars over the more modern ones as we're able to see by this e30 and his e12 518 (Shown below).

Before this left hand drive e30, Moe owned another LHD e30 touring which was sold last year. The current e30 however is also as clean as his other cars with low mileage. Its a 320i with an automatic gearbox. Moe knew he wanted an e30 but he wanted his to stand out from the rest and this is how he ended up with an import 320i. To set it apart even more, he lowered the suspension and fitted the car with M5 Throwing Star wheels, apart from those mods the car is completely stock but still looks the part. Future plans for the car include full import indicators and bumpers as well as a very strong N/A motor.

We'd like to thank Moe for taking the time to allow us to feature this car! Its a car that we would definitely do a follow up shoot of in the future.
