see if you can meet up with omi for a ride in his m52.
It's definately worth your while seeing if you like that. They will pull like a train and wave bye bye to most if not all m20's bar the turbo stuff.

My mate has a E39 M5 for sale at the moment and he thought he'd change the front disks and pads before he sold it - £450 from Euro Car parts
Compare that to the E30 - what are they £25 a disk?
Lovely car the E39 M5 but you need to factor the difference in part prices, even if you do the work yourself.

^ Good man! E30's are not the fastest or best handling cars but they are sooo much fun and IMO no other car in their price-range can beat em for their all round awesomeness.
