Thanks guys, yes it was from York, I picked it up and drove it home to Aberdeenshire. I havn't got any engine bay pics but I will take and post them up. It's a very neat conversion.

The RST is a low owner (2 prev) with 33k miles on her. Sorry I meant to write S50, I've had a few E36 M3 Evo's so was used to writing that ha.

Still not S52, the S52 is the American E36 M3 engine. Evo's have S50B32.
But agree with engine pics.

It's a S50 3.0 single vanos from a UK 1995 M3. I was planning taking some engine pics today but it's hurrendous weather here.

Needs to lose the eyebrows, angel eyes, rear lights and potentially the rear mtec2 spoiler, then it would be stunning.

I was thinking about loosing the eye brows and the angel eyes.
I quite like the rear lights and I wouldn't loose the spoiler, Im planning on re polishing the wheels and having them laquered as they're a total nightmare when using the car alot.

Is finding out that your pride and joy once resided in High Wycombe better or worse than it hailing from Brum ?

I sent you a PM on here a while ago when I realised you had the car built.
I bought the car from William Smith in York, I believe he bought the car from Andy.
It has 4 prev owners on the logbook now.
There are a few small changes from when you had it featured but it's pretty much all the same. It's had a engine rebuild, lights changed and gear knob changed.
I have replied to your PM

"8x17" BBS ZZR wheels"
I'm thinking about changing them, they polish up really well.
