Hi guys. Has anyone done this already. I'm looking to do the same for my new project. Need some advice and also a e36 m3 donor car if anyone knows of one. The complete car would be great.
Thanx

There was an article in TBMW some time back about an E30 with an E36 M3 engine, can't remember if it was Evo though,
(That car is now in Ireland,)
The end result looked stunning & "factory",

What mods does it have? They rarely make factory power standard.. Which means you have 'got' up to an extra 40bhp there..xavi1980 wrote:I got a 3.2 evo six speed running 341bhp for £3900

No. Its a 3.0 with an autobox. A pleasant enough sh1tbox to waft about in at 18mpg, IF it is a nice car but it won't be
Send it to China and help the enviroment !

Not quite, the car he traded in for the quatroporte would be worth about 40 - 50k now if kept right IMO.pacerpete wrote:DanThe wrote:Pete, you would cry if you knew what he gave in part ex for this back in 84pacerpete wrote:I had a semi, and then I seen the surplus doors !
