E30 Zone

This comment in another thread prompted me to creat this post:

The comment is not about my car, but I realised I have never introduced myself after a year of being a member I haven't posted much, but do often have a read. so I thought it was about time.

I am based near Worcester, currently I have 2 e30's (316 coupe and a 318 touring), but my main toy is my e36. The e30s are for daily use, whereas my e36 is for fun. Some may have seen if before, it was at Gayden (minus the wheels and a few mods) and at Santa pod (having just fitted the wheels and not got the stance right). Plus I also took the car to Donnington and got talking to a couple of guys who are members here.

All of the work I have done myself (bar fitting the short-shift kit), anyway heres some pics, not up to date, sadly, but essentially its how tyhe car looks now.

That looks hard as f**k mate! I like it!!

thats a lovely vessel mate.

Cheers guys

Welcome to the zone fella ! Nice GT mate, Looks

How much do they fetch these days ?

No idea what they fetch really, they just get whatever someone wants to pay at the time. After all most people wouldn't buy a flat green M3, not when there are better colours to be had, in fact I've been told once that its not an M3 because they didn't make them that colour.. So i would say that the market for them is limited, only people who know what they are would be interested and even then people don't want to pay a premium, they aren't CSL's.

Got to admit thats absolutely lovely. Nice one. Theres one that goes to a few shows up here and i love the colour and the green interior. Very different.

That is very, very nice !!!

Hello Jeeptster!
Welcome to the zone and your car looks really good!

Weapon.My old man had a Boston Green Evo with those Schnitzer (Type II?) splitties (also painted Boston Green ) - looked quite similar to your chariot

Liking the quasi-Schnitzer CLS II inspired colour scheme and stance (I generally prefer narrow-bodied E36s but the CLS I & II are nice):

Cheers guys, yeah that car is what inspired me to do the wheels and such

Wow that's a stunning bit of kit. Very nice indeed.

A slightly belated welcome from me

That is a georgous car. I'm admittidly not the biggest fan of E36's, but I'd have that in a heartbeat !! Good work that man.

hello mate

How you doing Dips

Love your M3!!

shame you felt the need to be gangsta and fit angel eyes, and german plates, because I like the rest of the car.

im loving the schnitzer example dirty six.... the flaired arches are a tribute to the e30 m3... i would change the colour to estoril blue, techno violet or any silver...... shes still schnitzer...

^^ Its more than a tribute to the e30, those panels are kevlar, bar the cage its a race spec car, even got a Stack dash iirc. Amazing machine.

@ gBenM, its something I just had to do

Yeah it's a racer for the road (appropriate given Schnitzer's race pedigree). And you can spec the CLS in any colour you want - I've seen them in blue, silver, black and white (although one of tose was a replica if I recall). I personally like the orginal CLS colour scheme - prototype grey with balck rims and red trim. Complete uber wagon

The blue one, if Estoril, is a kitted evo, not a real CLS, hence the rep idea. However, thats not what is pictured above, the car above is the CLS II, which is a different car altogether, as far as I know there is only one and it now lives in Japan.
