They are black leather seats from an M3 mate. The front seats from any e30 fit any e30! :)

You can get the badges from BMW though, about 4 quid each.

The pins are plastic and have two lead rods which you push in then bend them so they stay in.

The m3 seat has a small indent in which these pins fit, but you can fit them to any seat really.

Think it might be on the mend, only had the car for three weeeks and I keep getting problems with it, it's a shame really cos it is a mint example, I think it's been a bit neglected though.. All the common faults for the E30's are happening at once on this car, hopefully when they're sorted I can continue enjoying it..

got to be E30 M3 DTM.

Kjell Rune's Turbo'd M3 comes very close as does the Kilander brothers and the PPF turbo'd car.

Benny's pimp cabby would be in the garage too for summer cruising

cor that sound awesome never heard of it but sounds the nuts, imagine a 3.2 e30 on a wet roundabout, this would be intresting eh!!
I've driven a 333i :D ... nice cars, loads of torque M30B32. Came with M-Tech 1 kit, and Alpina's from the factory...

They pretty expensive here going from between R55 000 and R80 000.

About the same top end as our 325iS Evo's.


My ultimate e30... would be a 4 dr, Plastic Bumper, Ice White. Running S54 Motor... with fat turbo. Bilstein Coil overs (of course with the reinforcing so u don't get the shock mout breaking from the loads) Brembo Gran Turismo brakes... running on 18" BBS RS, with gold centers.

Then Body wise, Alpina front Spoiler, M-Tech2 skirts, and M-Tech1 wing... ahhh .... I need to snap out of my dream world.

Or

An M3 Sport Evo would do aswell :D

I don't mean to pick, but light weight pistons and rods, ain't gonna make u rev to 8500rpm... u gonna need to do some work on the valve train to rev that high, it's a common fact (well in SA) that on a standard valve train u can only rev to 7200rpm

I'd settle for a Hartge H3 conversion, Hartge 16's and the pukka Hartge suspension package.
...........Oh and a re-spray.
Other than that, my Touring's ok for me as it is. After all, it's a working car and I don't have the time to enjoy (or look after) a "weekend" car. :(
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
