hi, pretty new to the site but have been lurking here reading up on e30's for a while, i wanted something cheap for a track car preferably n/a and rwd so picked up a tidyish 318i off ebay with a knackered engine, going to be doing an m50 swap on it over winter and hopefully get it on track come spring time :).

couple of pics:

thanks guys im looking forward to it now, wanted n/a for some reliability originally bought a saph cossie but it turned out to be a nightmare and was broken up for parts.

just need to sort an engine crane now to whip the old motor out.

Good find. The best colour, 15" BBS', shadowline and sport seats. I'm almost saddened to see it turned into a track slag. Get that rattlebox M40 lifted out asap!

Is that not a highback interior? Looks like a great base.

I don't think so, I thought it was at first!

Perfect track slag base!
