Re: E30 M3's

but for under 7K you will be looking at expensive repairs/replacements - remember nearly everything on the M3 is different and fooking expensive - I know from personal experience over the past eight years - but there is nothing like it

Re: ANYONE FROM THE ZONE BIDDING ON THIS?

it would certainly give you the full M3 suspension and looks to be all good parts - but a lot of work to fit it I would think!!!

Re:

I was offered the rhd M5 touring last year - the conversion cost £12000 at Munich but it had 200000 miles on the clock - it was in very good condition though and the guy who had it only drove it occasionally

I think he sold it back to the guy who had it converted in the first place

Re: What do I drive on the Nurburgring?

This will depend on how you drive I have done hundreds of laps of the Ring and sure I have worn tyres and brakes out but only after a long time. My last set of R888's did about three trips to the Ring that's about 150 laps plus a couple of track days in the UK

Re:

Hi Paul

I followed Kevin a few times around the Ring on the last trip and the suspension was very bouncy and loose - causing the car to lift front and rear wheels all the time - so I think the new suspension will give the car a lot more grip and make it more planted on the track

Hi Paul

I know - so as I - very dry sense of humour - I think this incident is what damaged the valves - but it is running really sweet now so cannot wait to get it back on a track
