Here are a few shots from a recent shoot, and a pic or two of the newest add. It's a Momo typ v36, and I friggin love it! I traded off my Mtech II for it, and it was an excellent trade imo.

Enjoy:

I dont like the way the exhaust comes out sideways!! just my opinion

Plus see how the American cars have to explain to the driver what a light is on the dash,







we in England just have piccy's on the dash, which we know mean!!

BMW designed the exhaust but it doesn't bother me. We Americans can READ, so we don't need "piccy's" to explain things.

lol at the text vs piccys, never noticed that before. she's looking superb, and i like the steering wheel, very nice!

Very nice example mate!!

She looks mint!!!

Touche

And thanks to you guys for the compliments.

looks mint mate, dont know but quite like the way the exhausts come out.

cool car man, looks pretty mint.

quality

Got to agree, your car looks absolutely fantastic !

It just gets better and better.

Nice car mate love it! i do think that the dials are really funny though!! like...

Unleaded Gasoline Only! well DUH!! great car mate top marks to ya!!

Nice car, edging more to the euro look than American imo

if i ever change my mtech 1 wheel it is gonna be for one like yours...nice:)

i love the car. it looks mint. i would like to know where i can get that rear mounting plate molding

Good to see a shiny example of the best colour out there

Thanks for the compliments of course.

Those euro plate fillers are fairly easy to come by, you just have to search the e30 forums in the for sale sections.

r3vlimited.com
e30tech.com
bimmerforums.com
clubroadfly.com

etc., blah blah, blah

that's a seriously clean looking car there mate!

it's a shame the small changes that most manufacturers were forced to make for the us market. if it was mine, i'd get euro spec grilles (slight 'eyebrow' effect) and bumper inserts (no lights on the sides). i see you already have euro smiley lights!!

it's a shame the us number plates aren't more similar to the euro ones, then the rear end would look a lot neater... not a lot you can do about that though!

oh and lastly, some all red rear lights would finish it off a treat! aren't red indicators the norm in the states?

anyway, it gets my vote!

It DOES have euro grilles, I have been considering the euro trim, I am going to have euro plates front AND rear and will run them regardless of the risk of trouble with the law, and I plan to, at some point, paint the amber part of the tails red. I may even go back to a smoked tail in addition to the red tails and alternate looks.

my mistake. i've been looking at eyebrow spolers too long! ;:

Nice numberplate too Geez!!

Looks good mate !
Nice 1.

Love the motor. Looks extremely neat and clean and with full spec by the looks. I really like the dash board with all the text on. maybe not ht best way of making a symbol but so novel and unseen in the UK, thats what makes it awesome though.

Glad to see the states is being represented on the forums!

RCwells....there is only one thing to do..............sell your car.........TO ME!

Thats a nice car............I have to get my act together!!!

That looks new. Mint! I like it a lot. Need glases to look at it.

How,a red beauty!!
Love the car and the steering wheel!

All you guys are just too kind, thank you.

I hope you can read because you speak English.....guess what, im in England....Where your language came from. Plus you might be able to read but you American's can't spell, you need to make things more simple

Look above, you American's make everything easy like spelling. Back to the point......dash needs writing on instead of piccy's because thats to hard!

Americans are not just getting fatter, they are ballooning to extremely obese
proportions at an alarming rate.

Where do I start? Whew, you really are an arrogant bastard. I have no idea as to why you began ripping into my car as you have, perhaps it's envy? No matter, let us get to your last attack, shall we?

You say that we Americans can't spell, yet you yourself can't spell and honestly your grammar is atrocious. (Do you know what that word means?) Your use of punctuation is on the same level as a 1st grader's. Case in point:

Your grammar: "Look above, you American's make..."
"American's" in that context is plural, NOT possessive, therefore, there is no need for the apostrophe between the letters "n" and "s". It should be spelled simply, "Americans".

Your grammar: "I hope you can read because you speak English.....guess what, im in England....Where your language came from."
You ask a question mid-sentence, without a question mark; you use a capital "W" in the word "Where" as if it's the start of another sentence and honestly, that sentence is constructed so badly that I don't even know where to begin with it. Next....

Your spelling: ".....guess what, im in England.."
In PROPER English, the word "im" there should be capitalized and ALSO have an apostrophe between the "I" and the "m" as it is a conjunction of the two words "I" and "am".

Your spelling: "...dash needs writing on instead of piccy's because thats to hard!"
The word "to" in this context should be spelled "too" as it is the adjective that means "more than", "excessively", or "very".

Your punctuation: .."dash needs writing on instead of piccy's because thats to hard!"
The word "thats" should have an apostrophe between the letters "t" and "s" to make the word "that's" as it is a conjunction of the two words "that" and "is".

Your punctuation: "Plus you might be able to read but you American's can't spell, you need to make things more simple"
Can you say, "run-on sentence?" Oh, I know YOU can. Where is the period that is so customary in the ENGLISH language at the end of a sentence? What about the lack of a comma after "Plus"? Again, just a really badly constructed sentence.

Seriously, did you even graduate grade school?


IF I granted you the word "piccy's" to actually be a word, why do you insist on placing an apostrophe between the "y" and the "s". Shouldn't it just read piccies? Or piccys? Does it OWN something or is it a conjunction that states, "piccy is"?

You say we have to make everything easy like spelling? You yourself use the word "piccy". Can you NOT spell the word picture? Is it just too much effort for your fat lazy ass to type out?

The truth is this, you are an arrogant prick, and you are so full of contempt for me, for whatever reason, that you can't even see your own hypocrisy.

Unfortunately no, not at this time. It has 106K original miles, so the motor has a lot of life still left in it. I have done the usual performance upgrades and have a few more left before I can say that I'm done with it. Eventually, I would love to do some major motor modifications though I am not sure which direction I would go. So many choices: engine swap (S52 comes to mind), turbo, stroker, supercharger or a combination of more than one of these. I will cross that bridge when I get to it, but for now, it runs so well, it just wouldn't make sense to tear into the motor.

Again, thanks to you guys for the compliments.
