E30 Zone

Hi everybody i have been reading the post for while and have decided to get involved.

I am currently driving in the Kuhmo championship in an M3 E30 (first year and a novice at that).

Pretty new to the car but can see know what all the fuss is about on the handling.

good choice mate had mine 9 years still love it and i have had some nice cars in my time

What suspension setup are you running?

E30 M3 in it's natural habitat

welcome

Thanks it actually my old mans ex-road car. He found a newer and lower milage M3 E30 for the road so i talked him in to converting it in to a race car.

Yours looks very tidy piece of kits looks like you have had a lot done to it.

We are running on adjustable KW suspension.

yes its had a lot of dosh spent on it its kicking out 269bhp so looking forward to having a day on the track .

I see your other post and you are of to Croft soon. Great track went there the other month on a test day when the car had just been finished. What a change the car was.

After increase in power and reduction in weight.

Also we are racing there on the 13th July i think.

this is first time .must hook up one weekend.

It is a fantastic track you will love the Jim Clarke Esses they are flat out in fourth or fith depending on what diff you have.

Flat out in 5th

I would say 4th, will tell you after

Probably 4th if standard diff we have a very high diff and the gear change light flash's in 4th just into the start of the esses so sometimes hold 4th or short shift into 5th but keep power floored.

Also we have lost a lot of weight so acceleration out of the corners allows to get upto speed for the esses.

My dads has a lot of I.C.E so works the other way.

We have a 8.2k redline so will probably be top end of fourth although it depends how much my dad will be pushing it

Welcome

Fast e30's are the best by far
