My new toy - E30 M3 - Wheels on.

[kieran325]

I picked up my new weapon last week

It's a 1989 E30 M3 215bhp in Diamond Black

I'll let the pics do the talking -











Genuine smoked Hella's -





Recaro SRD's






Original and unmolested S14 -





I'm not keen on the wheels but they do grow on you after a while, I was lucky enough to win a set of 16" BBS Evo alloys for it, being picked up on Monday and will be refurbed by the end of the week with new rubber on

The exhaust was a bit ropey in places and having hit every speed bump in the area I needed a new one, with a stroke of luck on the E30Zone a nearly new Milltek stainless steel came up for grabs, I tip toed over on Wed and it was put on Thurs morn -











A new Becker head unit was also purchased

Up to now I love it, it's had the exhaust done, alloys bought and now waiting on the interior, pretty good I think.

A big thanks to Gareth (gazm3), Oliver (-ollie-) and Pete (sweep) thanks guys

SwitSwew!

Loving those Recaros.

Well done! Great purchase.

And Sweep (Pete) looks after mine too. He cherishes it just as much as I do.

[davpkav]

I think we definitely need a meet.

I clocked it myself when I was taking the picture

I do like the wheels, it looks different but I'm a purist at heart and it will wear a mint set of 16's shortly

[bss325i]

Very nice. Will look so much better with the 16" BBS.

Oh and continental sportcontact2's FTW!

[Falkster]

Steve why don't you get that one off Olli??

[kieran325]

We'll sort something out with ya self and Steve

Yeah Pete put the exhaust on

I've always wanted an M3 before I was 25 and never did it, I then set my self a goal to have one before I was 30 and sadly failed

I decided after finishing the sport or getting it to a finished standard that I liked, it had to end. I wanted an E60 535d and was put off with the deprecaition, I thought sod it, I'll buy an M3 and play

My collection stands at the minute like this -







What can I add to it

[Kos]

nice car

an e24 highline in diamond black could do well in that company

[Z3I]

Stunning! Nice you've been able to sort the wheels out too..

[The_Diddler]

an e24 highline in diamond black could do well in that company

That Kos is a great suggestion

[kieran325]

Thanks to you too Kos

Hmmm I like the E24 too, do we know of any

I've just remembered I've got a 740 in the pipeline, in black too I was going to put the M60 in the touring but I'm drained financially now, give me a few months and I'll be on the lookout again...........................

[sweep]

I can vouch for this one its a cracker.

You lot are spending my money

Stop it, stop it, stop it........................

I think we definitely need a meet.

I think a Yorkshire /Lancashire meet should be organised !
there's a LOT of very nice/special E30's lurking around these parts !

Steve why don't you get that one off Olli??

it has crossed my mind several times! I have access to an S14 too, but sadly I have way too many things going on at the minute without another car !

Wasn't there talk of a meet at Ladybower Reservior on the A57?

[Kos]

e34 m5 ?

[kieran325]

We also have Matts Sport in the parish too

[kieran325]

e34 m5 ?

Oh yeah

[Blitz]

Very nice. Wheels are nasty though. How does it compare to the 325i?

I must admit the 325i is a lot smoother and refined.

The M3 is brutal and needs to be spanked to 6k + to feel it, I'm more than happy tip toeing around normally and enjoying it

[e30topless]

not seen anything about that ? isn't ladybower near the snake pass?

me thinks the car park at the very top of snake pass/holme moss would be a good meeting place, it's just above the pic taken here,

[Falkster]

What about that pub that's just re-opened on saddleworth road next to junc 23 M62??

the one next to the long straight road that is great for spirited driving ?

[Falkster]

That's the fella Steve!
