Hello guys..am new here,have been wanting to post my car for some time now but i guess it will spark up some controversy..well,talk no more,here's my car's details:

1990 e30 m3 sport evolution # 545:

Exterior:
-Brilliantrot
-It has all the sport evo body parts xcept for the front splitter

Interior:
-Black leather interior & everything else is the same as other sport evos
-The ori suede mtech was retrim by previous owner to normal black leather :eek: , but i managed to get another one

Engine & Drivetrain:
-S52B32 (ouch??)
-5 Speed manual

Wheels:
-Hartge 17" 3-piece

A little history on the car:
The car was brought in from UK into Malaysia in 1995 by a japanese guy whom revved the car "too much" that resulted with a blown s14, with the s14 being expensive to rebuilt in '96/7 in Malaysia, he decided to put in the s52 and the s14 was send back to japan with him(@$#$#)... :x
I bought the car back in '06 wanting to restore it to its former glory but it is hard to find a 2.5L s14 anywhere near asia...
For the past 2 years i've been searching through europe and asia(especially japan) for the 2.5 s14 but wasnt lucky i guess...everything else is still intact xcept for the engine+drivetrain+front splitter..

well,here's some pics of the m3:

Now that car gets me all happy in the pants department!!!

It is SERIOUSLY nice! I LOVE brilliant red. I LOVE S50B32's and I LOVE M3's!!!! I'm also quite partial to those seats!

Don't worry about the BMW purist brigade. They can go polish their perfectly lovely, perfectly standard 316's for all I care. Your car is shweeeeet.

Just to put my ten pence worth in (and why not?) I would personally change the rear lights. I'd also add the Evo splitter. I'd get some nice black carpets. I think, maybe, possibly, I'd go for a really motorsport type wheels too.. Perhaps a dark grey compomotive wheel, or some really trick magnesium wheels. You could always get a set of refurbed BBS 16" ones to put in the garage and never use if you feel guilty :P .

Seriously. Do what you like to it, just bear in mind it's DAMN nice as it is.

Also, maybe my eyes are wrong, but some suede should be added (steering wheel, gearknob/boot, handbrake cover/boot) :)

Both lovely looking cars, you're very lucky to own both.

I know you are all going to stone me for this but I prefer the daily driver. Not just for the Hartge bits, but I just think it has cleaner lines, although I would change the lights back to standard.

Don't worry Paul, so do I to be honest mate... :D

No disrespect in any way to the M3, but the Hartge just looks so much more useable.
