the title kinda gives it away.

4 members of the e30zone, Myself, kangman, raja Uzi
& Nick have been at a photoshoot on saturday for The Performance BMW Mag, shot in hayes, London by the famous photographer in the game, SiGray,

its a 4 calypso red feature, 4 friends, 4 e30s, 4 individually modified e30s. I cant give to much info out as i want to leave it a suprise. well its kinda a suprise to me, cant wait for the feature to come out. hopefully in the next 3 months time or so.

Was a good day having a catch up with the lads. eating pizza and getting wet, but the rain came and went, the actual pics look amazing.

Pbmw have shared a lil teaser (iphone pic) of whats to come

we are repping the e30zone.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Calypso is a nice colour that is tainted by council types sadly.

That top pic is a great example of why angel eyes shouldn't every be put anywhere near an e30.

it was four up - and they didn't look like small chaps. Would that make the difference?

I just watched the video again - Hahahaha.

It doesn't look like a very warm day, and I know from experience that the two in the back will be freezing!! You need the gel products to maintain the perfect hair.

First gear launches to the rev limiter can't be doing much good, either.
