... Practical Performance Car mag this month?

There's an article on drifting and theres a rather tidy E30 featured with a pic on the front cover. Thought it might be Dale's car but i'm not sure. Looks to be the right colour and the E36 M3 rims look familiar with the colour coding.

I read it in Smiths at lunctime, but had 2 problems with the article... firstly the caption by the E30 reads 'The E30 may be unfashionable but is affordable'

and secondly there's a pic of a Ferrari 360 and the caption says its a 355. I thought it was a car enthusiasts mag???!!!

Cheers,
Bryn.

My iS was gonna be in there

Gonna have to go buy it now, if the e30 is missing side repeaters then it's definately Dale's one, wouldn't mind reading up on his engine..

Thats def Dales motor, I recongnise the reg, he's got about 4 pictures, lucky man!

I saw the Ferrari in the pics too, with half a field stuck to his front bumper! LOL!!

What was the e28 tho? It had a side exit exhaust, was it a M535i or something?

DAMN!

i've just remembered i was going to weld up the old 316 diff from my car to use as a low-geared locked up diff to put on for drift club.

but i took it with a load of other stuff to a metal scrapper last month

i have an lsd but i don't want to hammer it too much as it wasn't cheap!

Yeah, hate that "old but affordable" crap. I'd buy an E30 brand-new if they still made them! My fave shape Beemer, I hated all the ones after it.
