Post Tue Jan 11, 2005 12:09 am

congrats simon that's uber-pukka ;)

That air con could very well be standard (with the extra fan in the middle bin), ive seen it on a Red M3 cab at Donnington too and another convertible i went to look at to buy.

Also congrates to Si, now having both a muscular 6 pot and the Ultimate E30 ///M3

Yeah, I wasn't too sure on the aircon either, never seen the vent in the middle before, but the rest of the system looks standard fitment though.

I'm just glad he's realised that real E30's are 4 pots :lol:

Post Tue Jan 11, 2005 12:20 am

Man that m3 is a beauty!!! Never really saw em in white tho!

Post Tue Jan 11, 2005 12:30 am

Simon

She is a real beauty. I knew that she would look fantastic in white too.

A lot of people say they don't like white cars, but white E30's are different, especially when they have been waxed on a sunny day - perfect.

Well done to you! Have some fun!

Tell you what, I never liked white cars till I got mine and white grew on me.
Then one morning I had to park it in a real rough street (you know half eaten sierras parked on peoples lawns etc) and as I walked away I took a worried glance back. I hadnt realised but due to the early moring dawn light it took on a slight eerie blueish glow & I was struck with the thought

MY GOD - IT LOOKS LIKE AN ANGEL IN THE LAND OF THE FORESAKEN!!!

ROFL!

Fancy looking into it a bit further? Must have been a reasonably popular conversion back in the day as theres a fair few cars knocking around with it.

Post Tue Jan 11, 2005 10:20 am

Si, that looks really nice. Hope to see it at the Farrybridge meet...?

Jay, it's really good, 101k (miles) silly amounts of money been spent on it, it needs a replacement scuttle panel though and a good clean up under the bonnet!
