Re: BREAKING TOP GEAR/E30 NEWS!!!!

im sure a zoner said ages ago that they would be having e30s becuase one of the top gear peeps bought theirs / their mates for the show?
didn't a zoner sell his Baur to a top gear representative?
:D

It was a red baur he sold to them..pretty knackered from what I heard.

As bad as the above described scenario sounds, theres always two sides to the story. Maybe just a misunderstanding due to lack of communication?

Re: New Rims on my BMW E30 ( BBS RM )

Looks a bit TOO high don't you think?

We swapped over the suspension on another zoners E30 from stock pre-facelift to a 40mm drop and it looks much lower than that - sitting on bottletops at the moment.

Lemme see if i can find a pic..
