I was wondering the other day what became of all the max powered up E30s. They used to be everywhere with these weird kits on.

I guess they all just rusted to death, and got stripped. Does this one still exist?

I like the guy said it owed him 35 grand, but would take 25 for it lol. I suppose about 15k of that is the ICE.

35k jeeeezuz.

I mean isnt that E30 M3 Evolution money. Immaculate restored Evo?

Each to their own, but I know where my 35 grand would go. I mean if I saw this burbling down the road, it would attract my attention only in a 'WTF is THAT' kind of way.

aHa. yeah Im not slagging it, from the pics the workmanship looks top class.

I like E30s just the way they are, maybe a little drop, and SOME wheels look good.

That is a definate acquired taste though.

When you say nice Stevie, what do you mean? As you mentioned you don't want to mod it...


Which do you prefer out of the pictures I have linked...

The B reg Chromie?

Stevie, I do wonder if you are for real. Or if we be trolled.

I mean, you like the pure OEM (looking dont know what resides in the engine bay)AND the decked cab? Which one is the 'on the floor one'?

I thought you would. What about number 4? Tech 2 kit is a very nice add on for the E30...

As for buying a car already done, I think thats your best option so that another E30 doesnt needlessly get 'changed'


This needs work but is up your street...

LOL thats BLUE? must be my monitor or eyes, and looks turquoise to me.

Anyway, I still think Stevie should get the white M3 replica off here.

Its got the M42 out of an iS though, so might not have enough performance for the man, after coming from the Nissan 2l lump.

But it looks a tasty replica for a mod enthusiast who doesnt want to add stuff. Needs a boot/spoiler though to complete the look.

I think its because he wants a black one.

Well he said as much, but I dont like red cars in particular, and Ive got 3 now :mad:

You have no opinion on the replica Stevie? or is it just too OEM? I think it looks pretty good in white.

green mohawk mullet ftw.
A taste in hairstyle, surpassed only by his taste in modified cars.


I say that though, but the kit IS interesting to me, since I like aerodynamics and aerospace tech (fluid dynamics). Have you seen this car in real life, and does it actually have the old venturis running underneath to go along with the diffuser?

If it does then the looks are irrelevant, and hes got a super suction mobile!

I know I seen it 8O I really don't understand. You're right there is no hope. I don't want to be horrible to the guy as I don't know him. He might be seeing something we're not lol.
