Re:

Quick question does your car have to be in a show condition to be on the E30 zone stand?

Have a plan E30 with a few patches of rust here and there :cry: .

Was thinking of doing it myself, but scared of really f**king up the engine.

It's a 320i not sure how much different that is to an IS.

Might order one while i'm there at the beemer garage and give it a go.

They are going to charge me over £250 for parts and labour.
Ouch!
