E30 Zone

Hey everyone. Has anyone taken their E30 to the Nurburgring before? I went last sumer in my mates 1series and loved it, even if we did kind of relly on the dsc . I'm planing on going back next somer afer I've given my 327 an overhaul. Some F%£k smashed into it and tryed to nick the sterio so using it as an excuse to giver her a new lease of life.

if you look in the general chat forum there were a number of us there a couple of weeks ago

Yep.

On the concrete next to the silver Porsche are a set of tyre marks - see 'em?



Now Right-click, Save As (on the image) and watch (brief swearing).

This vid was made on the same trip.

Nice video handpaper. What was that, a BMW spun series?

I went last year with friends, awesome experience.

@Handpaper, how many times have you been? You made it look easy

The 9:24 video was made on the 28th of July 2007, midway through my fourth trip. At a guess, I'd done about 150 laps at that point. It was pretty much the perfect opportunity too, the very last lap of a full Saturday when nearly everyone else had gone home.
I had to wait until I got home to watch all the video I'd taken, as I didn't have anything with me to watch it on. It was a very pleasant surprise when I checked the time

Great video ma man,impressive lines to!!

here is one of my mate Jake. With nice Carbon airbox sound

Ah the old 320iS!

Jake took me out in that car, when i was over there in my Touring...

Small American gut who work on helicopters @RAF Swaffham.

Had some pukka suspension on it, but was taking it all of to put on his E30 M3 he had back in the USA

I'm there in september and am REALLY looking forward to it

I hope to be back a little sooner than September! Has been almost a year for me

here another video. Plan was to drive in front of Jake to get some good fottage of my car. But track was nice an empty and the red mist got the better of me. This was still with my "road" suspension setup and I had loads of grief on that weekend with the powersteering belt. Jumped of the pulley's in exactly the same bend for 3 laps!!! When we filmed this I had found a new belt and this cured the problem for the weekend but forgotten to plug the airtemp sensor back in after fittig the belt and the AFR's went so high on the long back straight that I was fearing another disaster coming up. Guess my relief when I was looking under the bonnet and saw the plug dangling.....

Been a few times in my old 318i and still had a blast. Must get the is over this year. Worth every penny but my advice is don't count them or you may not go back. Ignorance is bliss.

Here's some vids of our second year out at the ring... e30 318is
