Two track car features in Total BMW magazine

It's a great mag every month but this latest copy is featuring two articles on E30 track cars, one from a guy at XL motorsport who has given me loads of advice on track useage and upgrades for my 325i.

The other car is owned by a guy called Andrew Hudson who has really done a tidy job on his E30 and has many years of experience on all models / types of BMW, plus it's a great colour scheme idea for my totally white track car..

Well worth grabbing a copy of TBMW from the middle shelf of your local newsagent, this is a quality mag unlike Zoo, Nuts, Loaded and other mags that are basicly porn for wimps who won't reach for the top shelf!! :D 8O winkeye

Enjoy

Its a good feature, pity the M3 was waterlogged, we spent hours prepping it as well!

Hmm, don't think we can get that magazine here in Holland. Would certainly have taken a look.

Hey Tom944 stop being greedy :D - I've seen the Dutch publications in Holland and they are top quality winkeye :D winkeye

Taffy - I bet that was a nightmare, magazine comes down and that happens :roll: All in all though it was a great write up for XL with some good pics ta boot of both cars...

Cheers, Ian

There's a third one remember... Rick Kerry's E36 M3. Probably one of the nicest prepped M3's I've seen!

Great write up Dom... I'll be getting my two in their asap aswell, fingers crossed!

Had a look over the E30 while i had mine at Neil Garner's last month. Had a sit in it to check fitting for my bucket seat. Nice bit of kit, certainly given me a few ideas.

Yep it was a nightmare and very emabarassing, good to get some exposure though, i'm hoping they're going to do a follow up as the E36 has changed drastically since then and is much improved, i'd even go as far and say the quality of prep will be higher than Rick Kerry's, its that good.
