E30 Zone

I've just been playing around on the e30.de site and it makes you realise how far behind in the UK we are on the modding scene. Almost every car on there is nicely styled and running big power. I saw about 5 E30's running M5 plants on about the 1st 10 cars i looked at. I think we need to be a lot more open minded to chopping up BM's and chucking fat lumps in it or we'll fall off the face of the map as far as modding goes. I do realise that cost is a major factor, but hell eat beans and toast and do it or sell your rotten arses i really dont care. I just want you to start chpping up your BM's

I totally agree with you mate, the germans are miles ahead when it comes to modifying bm's

Like you say, the cost is the main difference between the uk and germany. I know there are places in germany that can put an s50 into an e30 m3 in a day

Looks like i'm moving to Germany then dont it

Lads if you have no money then get a job at Mc D's or whatever. Just mod your cars

so were off to germany then boys, drive to the ring do a lap, with the old m20, go slap in a M5 engine back to the ring and then back Home?

anyone find out how much this actually costs in germany?? cos damn i got a uncle there in frankfurt..... hey uncle,, how are you?

alturnativly go to amsterdam for a night,,, then come back ,,, make a real trip out of it...

Perhaps we can all start phone scams .....

you got that sorted out yet ?

the thing is you'll find more modded bm's in germany as its a german car and has more of a cult following there and more parts readily available.

there are quite a few heavily modded ones on this forum, and good enough to rival the german efforts

look at it this way, if a german was looking at passion ford forum he'd feel the same we do looking at e30.de imo.

hi, i agree to we are well behind, apart from cost, if we all done that there would be origanals cars left, which if you do agree with me its nice to see one untouched like it has just come off the plant line. but them moded up look really great and loads of work go in to them, but not my cup of tea, but each to there own. peter.

yeah i agree, there some mad cars on that e30.de site. I'm sure one day we'll all catch up!

its quality not quantity. as kos said, the e30 is from germany, hence the cult. there are plenty more e30"s over there, hence the number of nicely modifyed ones. but theres also lots of council ones over there. its all proportional.

ive had a look on e30de a few times. there really is some shocking fibreglass monsters on there. but theres also a good few of e30"s that i would love to own.

Fatty i emailed freeads and told them to remove the advert as it was my car and i had nothing to do with the advert. I also told them the picture was copy righted so they were braking the law, but the last time i looked it was still there

i spoke to some geezer a little while ago....... i was after a 325i engine.. he said i should get a 3.5 lump and put it in....... it would be manic.
