E30 Zone

Had the beast on track at Snetterton on Sunday and it was a fantastic day... great weather helped alot, after the week we had endured I was fearing the worst ! But after a damp start it soon dried out


Car behaved impeccably too, and having a ride in a standard M535i assured me that my suspension and brake mods were money well spent !

mate i think i met you at santapod, i was with dips, was telling how i liked your car etc, was it you seemed like the same car, You crazy taking it on the track, hope you didnt abuse it too much.... nice motor still

I was just enjoying the car, not going mental.... These cars were made for driving, getting lots of enjoyment from it too I have gone from one extreme to the other, my old sport was a bit of garage queen, this one is seeing some track time

Looks great and for an e28 thats not that much body roll either. I got a passenger lap in a proper e28 m5 and it was pretty quick, there were no real drama moments either thanks to the linear power, just effortless progress. You could feel it was a bit nose 'heavy' but nothing untoward.

Great looking car and I bet its brilliant fun on track. Nice to see one being used properly.

They do understeer on the limit Jon due to that big M30, mine is running Eibach springs and nice fat whiteline ARBs which clearly help a great deal in the bends. You can help dial out the understeer with adjustable top mounts, however it is great fun as is and has enough power which is delivered nicely to be hugely enjoyable.

Good stuff Mark! Fancy bringing it over to the 'Ring next year?
