its had an s50 b32 e36 m3 engine, and is a beast of a car! 5 stud conversion when e30 m3 parts were easier to come by.

Along with Ian Haynes's conversion, this was one of the first that worked.

If you remember - I was converting my diamond black sport with an s50 also. It stagnated after buying a m3, but needs to be finished.

All the Best Andy - glad to hear it only sees good weather. Got any more pics?

About time you pulled this out of hibernation mate :)

You'll have to run through to York one weekend and take me out for a spin in it as I've never been in a S powered E30, only seen the rear view of yours down the 1/4 mile :P

Here are some pics I took from that day at York Dragway, June '07
