There is an e30 m3 shell for sale , it comes with with a full DTM spec cage, rear arms and hubs, arches have been turreted to be able to run a low "DTM ride hight" and raised diff mounting. paperwork as well , its in primer and seems to be in good condition some glass is there, some pannel work is missing and will need finishing. £2500 on prep/paint should do it and source you the missing parts . then there's getting the looms and interior trim etc

The price is £5500 which is cheap, but it is essentialy a track/race car which could be street legal

Haha. Can I come too so, lol.


That's interesting about BMW going searching for you. They really wouldn't be bothered if it was a lost cause.
Ffs, they don't even go to the bother of looking for some parts that are being still made at times!

I'll have to settle for one or two door shells and a touring if I can't get my M3 I suppose

Might be a bit bumpy on UK roads though. Must admit I'd never considered 8" wooden rims - could start a new trend...
