What's needed to create a truly great e30

Mmmm, might have to sell the car and get a 318is and start again.

If you have any regard for your dollarz, you would be much better off saving your money and buying a M3.

15k spunked on a molested mutant = a 4-5k hard to shift turd when you want / need to cash it in. People who want a modified car , generally build their own, not buy somebody elses vision.

Absolutely true.

S14 is easily lighter, as for M3 specific 5 stud, you cant replicate it. Without going in to much detail, the front lower 'lever' plate design offers the best steering feel of any road BMW made to date!

Dont get me started with the Chassis, there are so many differences that those who think the C pillar and arches are the only differences really should hang their head in shame.

I'm not aware of any difference in the steering geometry other than the eccentric bush.
Are the bottom plates more than just an easy way of correcting the bump steer caused by excessive lowering?

If so then no you can't fully replicate that, the castor, camber, toe, track width, ARB mounts, et al can be replicated with stock struts but if the are produced a different toe on turn then that's much harder to change but not impossible.

There is some nice info on the exact differences between a stock car and the M3 here:

With all of that said, we are talking about outdated 80s shite. All of it is so ancient the Romans used it on chariots.

The best set up would be to ditch the e30 running gear in totality.
