Total BMW looking for some feature cars :-)

Hi all,

Some of you may know me from the other forums but I've not yet posted on here before :oops:

We're currently looking for a couple of feature cars, some of which are in the members gallery. One belongs to a guy called Geoff who owns a 326 Hartge and the other is Brent, who owns a Hartge 327i Sport. I dont have the forum names for these guys, so if anyone can help, that would be great!

We're also looking for a nice lightly modded 325i (pref in grey) and a C2 2.5 to compare against each other.

Cheers for the help in advance 8)

Nick
Total BMW

Ps - mods, if this isn't the right place to put this, let me know :)

I'm not sure that Geoff has that Hartge anymore. Sold is a while back I think.

Sorry I can't be of more help fella.

Keep up the good work with the mag though... it's tops!

Giles.

Surprised it hasn't had a mag feature, or has it... :cry:

Cheers for the support Giles - much appreciated :D :D 8)

If anyone else has a bigger engine than came as standard with the 325i, let me know :wink:

I can think of a few zoners cars to have, but I bet they're more PBMW than TBMW :D

Lightly modded grey e30, I think Simon13's fits that bill as well as Karan's 2.7 monster :cool:

I think Sal knows a man with a superb Alpina too, but I think it's a c2.7.

Keep up the good work too, love the mag!!

Mark.

lol, you lot type too quickly :P

Cheers for the info Mark and hi Naz! Looks like it's definately sold then.

Yeah I saw the C2 2.5 that was posted not long ago - will def give him a buzz as I know these motors dont come up very often!

I'll try PMing Rowenmeister too 8)

if you want a rusty 325 turd with mods then mine is available, it allegedly pulled 192 at the flywheel on a r/road about 3 years ago LOL. Not much to photograph though. As the car is disintegrating, surely that means it's more motorsport (lighter) :teehee:

On a slightly different subject, would TBMW be interested if I write some sort of feature/ write up about a rolling road day for some E30's we're looking at planning up North? Could obviously supply pictures (6m.pixel) and some wording/ quotes from the gutted owners when they don't make the claimed output lol :piss:

Geoff's Hartge was featured in Total BMW a while back iirc, it's the one that had oxblood leather.

My car's up for a feature! :lol:

Here's Brent's profile page... http://www.e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?na ... ile&u=1677

Nick, what is the feature about?

If there's a thrash going on I'd love to see what my 2.5turbo will do!

But, if it's a show only feature, I'm out, unless you fancy photoshopping me whole car :D

Karan, total BMW was meant to be doing a feature on your sport before you bought it. I gave them your number, thought it would of been featured by now.

A friend of mine owns the Alpina C2 which people sometimes see me drive.

Not a normal C2 either, its got stand alone management and goes better than any 2.7 ive ever been in......sounds the best aswell.

i'd be interested in a feature, once its finished of course!

Anyone got a copy of this or know where I can get one? I used to own this H26 many moons ago and feel I need it for some closure :(

:D

Scott (Player6) has one on the best E30's Ive ever seen.

Started life as a 325i SE, now:

Super lairy 2.7 pushing out 250bhp!
Has the most immaculate paint, faultless & the shiniest E30 ever!
14" HiSpec brake kit, huge!
Full Cobra interior, not just the front seats.

By far the best non M3 E30 in the country!!!

Will make an amazing feature car!

Its actually a 2.8 not a 2.7. Certainly going to be the most powerful M20 NA engined E30 in the UK.

Fully deserves a feature!

Will wipe the floor with the Alpina I have access to.

great to hear from you Phil!! how was Oz?

sport has had a fair few extras since it was ures

would be nice to have a feature, as i may be selling it soon, but not a priority, needs a couple silly things like new headlight glass and she'll be featureworthy with a good clean, plus because the cars been round the block a fair bit.....most people are familiar with it

i have a standard 325i sport that is nice and original if you wish to use that as a benchmark to compare with the other modified models.
