E30 Garage just opened in Telford shropshire!
Moderator: martauto
Hi All
A quick introduction, my name is Steve, I've been into E30's for ages, and currently own two, a early 325i se and a 318 with a M50 engine fitted.
I have just started my own business, SM AUTOS and have a 900 square foot workshop in Sheriffhales, Telford, Shropshire.
I am going to try and concentrate the majority of my work on E30's as they are my passion, so if you need a service, repairs, engine conversion, suspension fitted, in fact anything E30 related please get in touch. I will also be selling parts on the Zone.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Yes I think I do have some grilles, let me check and get back to you on those. If you want to pop by and say hello it would be nice to see you, I will post my phone numbers up when I get them, best to ring first as i'm here there and everywhere at the moment sorting things outno2lurch wrote:i'm in telford, might have to pop by to say hi. dont suppose you have any spare e30 grilles to you? i'm looking to matt black mine, and i might need a back up if it goes pair shaped. there is one in my local tat yard which i will be visiting soon, but i'm asking you in case someone beats me to it... good luck with the business.

Thanks mate, nice to meet you too.
Got the M50 running shortly after you left, the promise of a ride stands when it's Mot'd
Your car sounds fantastic by the way, heard you ragging it down the country road! Counted 1st, 2nd and third
Also let me know how you go with the wiring loom, if it's no better come down again and i'll have a look for you.

Steve, I'll be in Lilleshall on boxing day for a couple of days - you around? Almost certainly won't be in the E30, but I'll still come & say hello if it's convenient!

Hi Dan
Yep I did change my user name when I started the business.
Big lump of GM tat?
me..........had a 05 Monaro for a bit, is that what you mean?
Sold it just before petrol prices went sky high....I do love V8's though.
Can't do the 27th unfortunately down in London that day, but could do boxing day if that suits.
