There are some sad mofo's on that site, there is on with a new nuremburg Astra, he is a bit special.


This one was worth the effort though, not ott.

It's not dear about 8 or 10 quid for 5 liters, but you dilute it too. Only thing is you have to try and get hold of your local Auto Smart salesman. do you know anyone with a garage that gets stuff from them, that would be your best bet. If no just try phoning them. :D

no sunroof, no aircon, manual windows, cloth recaros.

you know whoever bought that didnt buy it to pose in 8)

odd that it's still got the plastic motor override whatsit and allen key thingy. i'd always assumed mine didnt because it hasnt got a sunroof, and there's no way to wind the windows manually unless you take the doorcards off.

wonder if the detailer knows the skirts are supposed to be satin :wink:

I have to admit that the M3 did look the biz when it was finished.

But a week????????? :mad:


All that wasted driving time!
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Just noticed this thread and thought i would answer some questions as its my car:-

It is a lightweight Car, ordered with 16" wheels, full recaro seata, deleted sunroof option and deleted elec windows.

It has Map reading lights a rear blind.

Owned by 2 doctors in germany before coming to the uk, i have owned it for 6 years.

As for driving it, well to be honest it doesnt get used much 400 miles last year but thats due to not really having the time.

The car is pretty much perfect but in reality is a bit of a garage queen which is sad really but when a E30 M3 is so clean you are scared to use it.

Not sure what ShakeyC's comment means about Turds but i am pretty sure it wasnt me.

Thanks for your interest and the kind words.
