Ross you know I'm a big fan of your work and the car. Alex well done on the video, was a good watch.

BTW Alex, I believe your old dear came to see a car at my workplace just before you write the ring !!.

Oh yeah? Where was that?

Great car and great video!

PS: Alex, tell Phil "Tick Tock".

Haha! See you on the weigh bridge!

Evening gents, A couple of months back, I asked if you knew of an E30 that was a little bit 'special'. Well, Ross Bradley's name was mentioned a few times. To my amazement Ross said I could drive the car (thanks again!), and here's the result... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHD_ipXhGaI Hope you e...

Good shout, cheers.

Hi guys,

We're shooting a big M3 video at the end of the month, but we're short an E36 and an E92...

Does anyone have something that we could use and allow us/me to drive at Longcross (where they've shooting Spectre)?

Cheers!

Alex

Guys, thanks again for the positive words about the E9 Bat review. I've chatted to Ross (6.0, twin-turbo V8) who's given me a link to the extensive build thread. I'm in the process of organising a date soonish to see him and drive the car. Think the video should get a decent amount of love because i...

Just spoken to Ross - great guy, and car sounds mental!

Thanks guys, car ideas much appreciated! And Steve, thanks for the kind words!

Morning guys, It's been many, many years since I've been on the Zone, but my love for E30s has not faded. In fact, I've promised myself a Touring at some point in the nearish future. Anyway, I digress. Reason I'm here is to ask if anyone would trust me enough to review their car for a video on Car T...

Morning guys, Was lucky enough to be given the keys to the above for a week, so thought it rude not to share some nice snaps and a quick video with E60 fans. One of the sweetest exhaust notes ever, but the gearbox is a massive let down as a few will probably agree with. http://www.carthrottle.com/re...

Holy fcuk! And I thought the Russians were mad!!

Haha. This thing's really divided opinion, but BMW did it with the M3 back in 2011, so why the hell not do it with the M5. If it appears this year April 1st, you saw it here first

Some time in 20never... There is this thing, that actually exists, though:

Hi guys, I saw a Vauxhall Maloo the other day and wondered what a new M5 pickup version would look like. My mate does car renderings as a living and here's what he came up with. I wrote some bumpf to go with it. Interested to hear your thoughts on this. http://www.carthrottle.com/bmw-m5-pick-up-the-...

Hi guys,

Here's a decent piece on the Z8. Whether or not it's the best looking car in the world remains subjective...

I do videos at the place I work now and we'll have an E60 M5 vs Lexus IS-F coming in a couple of weeks. Plenty of exhaust noise included. I'll make sure to chuck a link up here when it's done

Decent E30 review is something I want on the site, though!

Awesome work, mate! What did you get yourself??

Hi guys, Despite not owning my E30 anymore, I sure as hell love reading about them. Here's a link giving the E30 a little bit of love. Some of you might recognise the car?! Was my old pride and joy and I think someone on here bought it for restoration :D http://www.carthrottle.com/bag-a-bangin-bmw-f...

Total BMW/ Performance BMW drop them a line with pics and explain why it should be featured. They're always keen on clean/interesting E30's

I had a look again and both lines on each side look pretty fooked. They're rusty as far as I can see going under the fuel tank.

Sag, if the offer still stands for the tools and help, I'll gladly take you up on that. I'll obviously give you generous beer money for the help, too

Hi guys, Cheers for the replies! Pretty glad to hear that the tank doesn't need to come out! And thanks Harry for your suggestion of flexies and spring clips - makes sense. My only trouble, though, is getting the car high enough off the ground to get it all done. Axle stands at the side of the road ...

Hi Charlie,

Cheers for that! I'll definitely try the website you suggest. Fingers crossed

Does anyone know of a good garage or anyone who could help me replace a rear brake line - not flexi pipe...

It involves taking the fuel tank out and won't be easy, so I'm told.

Been quoted over £350 for it, which I really can't afford.

I'm in London by the way

Cheers

Hi guys,

been looking for a n/s/f wing in sterling silver for months now, but to no avail. Looked here, e-bay, gumtree, scrappys etc, but no luck.

Any specialist places I can try? I can't afford to get one sprayed unfortunately...

I got one for showing my student card. I studied automotive journalism, but if you do/did engineering etc, you'll get one. Maybe print out an 'acceptance' letter from a uni. They're not very strict.... winkeye The card really is awesome. As an example, I got some wipers there for £6.50, down from £1...

Tried and failed to start my E30 on the weekend.... it turns over fine, starts for approx 1-2 seconds then dies instantly. Loss of compression maybe? Head gone? Or something less suspicious? All ideas welcome :D Not good timing, but on a brighter note, I rode home from work today on an electric scoo...

Problem solved....been a while since I've posted a pic, so apologies!

Oops, that didn't work....

Count me in too

Such a tune...

944 S2 is definitely an idea. My folks used to own an N/A 2.5-litre 163bhp when I was about 15 (11 yrs ago) and the handling is very good as is the gearbox. I'm not sold on the 928 though. It's much too rounded and just doesn't look right IMO - headlights and arse especially. Following on the S2 the...

Autoalex, do you know Martin Buckley then? Have a word with him, tell him to do a showdown along the lines of E30 325i or iS v contemporary Alfa/Audi etc. And make sure the E30 is dog dick red... I don't know Martin but have seen him on occasion. I'm more familiar with the editor and staff writers....

Hahaha...I'll let the guys know of your displeasure. They work at the end of my corridoor

cheeers

hello all,

found this on the bay and told the guy I'll take it as im 99% sure it sterling silver..

Opinions please....
