Nice read 8)

Wanted to keep this, so made it into a PDF file. Maybe useful to some others out there too? (7.25Mb download)

We may have to speak to BMW Car to get their approval for using the material first Ant. But if they say yes, It would be a fantastic addition.

Just what I was thinking! As Dave says we probably need to approach the mag first.

Ant do you still have any contacts or perhaps know somebody who can speak to them. I'm happy to do it but might be better coming from somebody they know or in a position of authority.

I think Neil Mukerji, one of the contributers may be a member on here. He up untill recently had a couple of E30 M3's.

A real interesting read with a few mentions for E30Zone.net

I read it right through and found it to be very informative.

And the pics are cool. Wish mine was as clean as that one.

I've got these from BMW archives....

How cool would it be to have one this clean!!!!!!

Ah yes, so he is. And iirc he is mates with Ian Haynes so he may be the man to approach him.

Compressed using 7-zip, which is free :) or as Morat says, the likes of a recent copy of WinRAR should unpack it if you have that already instead.

If you have any further issues, drop me a PM and I'll sort something out for you.
