E30 Zone

Morning guys,

It's been many, many years since I've been on the Zone, but my love for E30s has not faded. In fact, I've promised myself a Touring at some point in the nearish future.

Anyway, I digress. Reason I'm here is to ask if anyone would trust me enough to review their car for a video on Car Throttle. In case you've never heard of CT, then here's our latest video:



What I'm looking for is something a little bit different, perhaps with forced induction or an engine swap. We have a large community of tuning fans, so a video on your car would be very popular.

Either way, I'd love to get an E30 on our channel, so I'm open to most ideas.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex, how you doing? Still keeping busy?

CT channel is one of my favourites at the moment

You could try Ross2009 he has a very nice v8 twin turbo http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=241110

Denlot's track car or Sam's M3's would be my shouts.

No offence to anyone else x

Thanks guys, car ideas much appreciated! And Steve, thanks for the kind words!

Just spoken to Ross - great guy, and car sounds mental!

A proper review of a M30'ed e30 would be a bit different


There are some monster e30's on the Zone and the level of work that those conversions took is simply heroic! That said, there is something cool about an old m30 boat anchor.

Never really appreciated the Batmobile before watching that vid, well played on changing my mind! What a car!

Great vid on the CSL! Let me know if you want to contrast a modded E30 to an borderline anally OE one!

E30 With M30 review would be super

FREAK ALERT !!!

I know it's not exactly the same but there have been a lot of E30 M30 reviews, mostly around the time that alpina, hartge and BMW (SA versions) were fitting them.

What I have never seen is a proper objective back to back of an M5x e30 and a lightly modified M20 E30.

Will from Rally prep may have something, or let you tag along to a rally to do a bit of coverage?

I don't know if it's you or not but thanks for sharing the odd photo of mine on the fb page every now and again. It's appreciated!

Guys, thanks again for the positive words about the E9 Bat review. I've chatted to Ross (6.0, twin-turbo V8) who's given me a link to the extensive build thread. I'm in the process of organising a date soonish to see him and drive the car. Think the video should get a decent amount of love because it's very different to the norm (something I'm moving towards more and more).

As for Marcel's E28 T, I believe we've got a feature in the pipeline (we've definitely spoken to him about it, and he seemed receptive).

Again, thanks for the suggestions! While I've got a DD (Mk1 MX-5 project car) I find myself looking at E30 Tourings more and more. I've planted the seed into my gf's head, so it's only a matter of time ;) I'd want something tired and basic that I can transform into something unique, much like many of you are doing.

Have a great weekend!
