I'm based in Kent most of the time, currently searching for a good shell to use for my m30 conversion!
Driftboy is based in Maidstone, he drives a 3.5 E30 as well!

Hello again Candyman!
I am indeed in Maidstone, and I did indeed fit an M30 engine into my E30.
I've been very busy at weekends lately and probably will be for a little while yet but I'll help you out if I can, if you need any help that is.
Just let me know a little in advance and I'll see what I can do!

Thanks mate will probably just need to have a look at where you have put everything and what position ur engine is in what gearbox x member you have used etc
Thanks again
Stuart

No probs, you are welcome to come and have a look over / under - whatever you want to see. Or I could come to you when I've got some time.
I used the E30 325i gearbox cross-member with no modifications.

have i?

just the one mate

and it's spent 2/3 of the time since i did it off the road! not the cars fault mind but: money, moving house, sickness, winter, wrong kind of leaves on the line... you get the idea!
as with the other offers, drop me a line if you're over this want and want to have a look how mine is done or anything...
moving towards playtime again though with the evenings getting longer

Thanks for all the replys was thinkin bout organizing e30 meet in kent on regular basis maybe somewhere like the american diner in ashford (anyone know this place ?) few other clubs have meets there (SEAT,AMERICAN CARS,HOT ROD CLUBS ) on certain nights place is fairly well lit and has huge car park opposite so if there is enough interest il make some enquirys
by the way food is good too

Hi there,
Im E30'less but have owned a few hence why i scour these pages! I live in Sevenoaks, and the Grasshopper is a fantastic venue, as is the woodman (fit bar staff i recall).

I went there last year, to a Lamborghini owner's club meeting!
I don't own one though.
It's a very good venue as well.
And some nice roads to get there on - if I remember right!

I thought they were quite fit at both of them!
