Hi All,

Have just started using the E30 Zone FB group so thought id better get on here too :) .

Having owned my fair share of BMWs over the last 11 years, i'd say around the 30 mark, I have finally got my hands on an E30 touring. I wasn't looking for an E30 in particular but my friend had this RallyPrep built Touring up for sale and after checking the spec out and having a drive I handed over some cash.


I wont bore you with the details here as I will post a build thread in the trackday section. But its and M52 swap with decent track spec and lovely E30 M3 diff. I have already made some changes going back to stock front wings and BBS wheels. Many other plans in the pipeline so check out the build thread.


Most of my spare and work time is taken up with trackday based cars so this will be a car focused on exactly that. I live 5 mins from Castle Combe Circuit so why wouldnt you :)


Few pics of how i bought it and how its sits currently.

Hi Steve,

Thanks very much. I just started the project thread so should be available now.

Id be very interested in the Trackday section as I run an on track company for a living. Maybe if I PM you, you could tell me the cost of being able to share our events on the Zone?


It seems many still use them for track as they go so well and are very light for RWD cars.
