Hi All,

I have been perusing e30zone.co.uk, e30owners.com, pistonheads.com etc for some time now looking for an E30 with an S50 transplant. I have recently come across this one on PH.com. Details are a little scant. Does anyone know the car? Could they tell me a little more about it?

Thanks,

Louis

This is a zoners car, i cant remember his zone name but his name is Shaf. It was featured in PBMW late late year. I remember drooling over this for months!! I even had a copy of the magazine in my car a few weeks back to show my mate!

Daimlerman - I read that thread from beginning to end. I'm hoping to use the car predominantly for shows, not dick about burning up the rear tyres. I appreciate the concern all the same.

E30_KIID - If you could remember the zone name or even came across a few photos on the site I would be very grateful for a link.

Cheers Lads

i personally would be VERY cautious about buying a car from a person who has gone to such poor efforts to describe it. A Lazy advert generally equates to a lazy owner which equallly means same effort goes into looking after their car.

Couldn't agree more mate. A single paragraph advert is usually enough to put me off as I also think it says something about how the car has been looked after. It doesn't suggest much enthusiasm imo...

On the subject of the car itself, I also recognise it from PBMW. Iirc it was resprayed in E92 M3 white and had a cardinal red interior. It obviously went up north because I think it used to be based in Wembley.
