i noticed the other day that the e36 m3 badge is the same style as the e30 one, surely must be a bit easier to track down a secondhand e36 m3 badge than an e30 one!
then again, how many people would it take to express an interest for mobil tradition to run a batch off?
car looks great though, what red is it?
i badly need to do mine, i got as far as cleaning the green off the window rubbers the other day

It's brilliant red harry. I've been meaning to track a badge down for so long now, really needs front and back. I've bought a few off eBay but they always end up being the same curved small ones no matter how many times you ask the question.
I've been where you are harry twice now and I'm determined this time I'm not gonna let my car get to a stage where it's not driven cos all it takes is 12 months of not using it and you've got a couple of grand bill to get it back on the road!!

by the time you've done an inspection 2, replaced brakes that will have seen better days, MOT'd it, taxed it and whatever else it needs (you'd have continued to drive it if it didn't need anything) you'll be up there!!

wheel bearing and radiator on mine. seemed pointless as it wasnt going to be driven through winter this year anyway, and i hate working on cars in the cold with a passion

Cheers for all the comments! Everyone can relate to this, the amount of times I've thought about selling it but then just a little drive, a bit of polish or just look at it and I just can't!!
