Looking for an e30 track or race car. Or prehaps an e36 m3 idealy track ready.

I have mainly been looking on piston heads and ebay but haven't seen too much, where else should i be looking?

Depends what your looking for and budget, are you planning on building it yourself?

Local freeads, auto trader, but PH and ebay are the biggest, maybe get on an e36 forum.
325i Tech 1 Touring, breaking.

2.5 high comp. M20, 3.64 LSD, Fully undersealed, Spax springs & Bilstein shocks, s/s exhaust, Alpina rep wheels and more.

budget is around 5-7k, maybe a little more at a push. Looking for something good to go. I really like the idea of building my self but realisticly i don't have the time!

Wrong time of year really. End of the race season is the best time for buying race cars for obvious reasons.

Racecarsdirect is usually worth a look.

I was looking for quite sometime, I think it's just the luck of the draw, when I first started there were 3 or 4 E30 Track/Race cars on Pistonheads, and when I was ready to buy nothing.

Make sure you go down the Pistonhead listings till you get to the non-premium ads, some people won't pay the extra so the newer ads aren't always at the top of the page.

What about the 328i Track/Drift car at £4500 I think it's Bucks high performance selling it, it's been up for weeks I reckon thy must be ripe for an offer.

Jon, The s2000 doesn't appeal to me (not sure why).

Petrolheads, just googled bhp and it says site under construction. Where did you it advertised please?

March 09 and agent006, thanks for the heads up will check them out.

Hi, I'm going to be putting mine up for sale this month. It's a 2.7 I've been using for track days for 4-5 years. It's had a small fortune spent on it. I was planning to race it in Pre-93 CTCC or similar but just haven't got round to doing it though the car is 95% ready and I've even got my licence sorted! I would put some pic's on but don't know how to do it. Contact me on 07801 930373 I'm planning to have a final outing on fri 28th may at Silverstone south circuit (eve only) if you're close enough and are interested in taking a look. Have tried PM'ing you but not sure if thats reached you,,,
Cheers, Steve
