So after building 2 e30 M3 V8's, one of which was featured in total bmw magazine, and another one well on its way, we are now seeing if anybody else would be interested in owning an e30 V8 themselves.

You can have a coupe, a saloon or a touring. You can choose from a range of bmw V8's 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.4 or even the Alpina engineered 4.6.

We will supply and fit everything you require to have a complete and factory looking e30 V8. All you need do is supply the e30, and if your struggling to find the right one, we can even help you find the right car.

Prices will depend on individual requirements such as gearbox, engine size, etc. However our prices are very realistic. Feel free to ask any questions, and p.m. me for individual quotes.

How is the handling with one of these fitted. I assume they are heavier than the original engine

Sorry i forgot to put we are located in oxfordshire, about 30 mins from oxford city centre. To all those asking for a rough price, i will need to know the engine size you would like, and the gearbox. Also i will need to know a little bit about the car you would like it put in, original engine etc. Sorry i should of told you this in my original post.

As for the handling. Both the m3's we have done drive amazingly. Partly because we mount them nice and low and well back, but also because the m60/m62 are all aluminium unlike the m30/m20.

I will try and put some pictures up in the next couple of days of the e30 m3's we have previously done, and for those who are seriously interested we will hopefully be arranging a test drive for you to see how superb these cars are.

Anymore questions? Feel free to ask. Thanks, Gregg.

Gregg, should you wish to TRADE on here, which in your posting above you obviously are, then I'm afraid you'll need to join the growing ranks of traders and pay a small fee.

sorry dude but rules are rules

iirc yours was the blue one we saw @ the rockingham anniversary no ??
if so, nice soundtrack sir :thumb:

all the best.

Edit: Trader enquiry is being dealt with Gregg, keep chasing if you hear nothing in the coming days :thumb:
