:thumb: I agree with Jon on that one too!
What would I do this fictitious Ԛ£6k that I'm going to throw at my Touring?
1. Hartge H3 'head conversion on a 323i bottom end, with a decent 6-branch.
2. Sport gearbox with Z3 short-shift.
3. Full re-spray.
4. Slightly lower front suspension.
5. 370mm MTech1 steering wheel.
6. Set of Hartge 8x16 wheels.
7. Re-trim (maybe in half leather if there's enough cash left).
8. If there's still a bit cash left, E36 steering rack conversion.
Stuart.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

P'raps not adventureous enough for some peeps but I'd sell my car, put the 6k for remoddin' to it and buy the best E30 M3 i could find for about 11/12 k & done. Innit ?

I agree with acid bath... but after, full galvanise, then repaint.... engine rebuild, renew everything.... then show it proper.

buy as many e30 mot failures (not hard) as I could, and make some money breaking them. then spend it on a playboy lifestyle. or, if i had to buy more e30s, i'd repeat the above :mrgreen:
'08 GSX-R750, '02 CBR600F, and a beast of a Focus 1.8LX...
