HAHa sucess at last.

[Simon13]

yes saw your car at Donnigton this year and was impressed with the M plate!

[nav786]

gotta be one of a handful or so, if that. seen a few on 'L' plates but never M. what is it tho? a 2.5

[Zayyan]

A 1.6 or 1.8 I think Nav, might be wrong.

I've never seen an M-reg E30 before, could you get M-reg cabs?

[RustyRuss]

An M Plate! Rarer than a Rare Mans Rare Bit - superb!

[Cheekychunkyfunkymonkey]

It's a 1.6 lads, however she can still lift her skirts when required.
Had it Chipped by Jason of chippedUK while at Donnington. now better in the low gears and pulls away from lights leaving some newer mundanemobiles wondering just what's happened, this applies also to the Labrador who rides shotgun in the back! It's not for thrashing, It's for Loving. bit like the wife!

[nav786]

very nice,

zayyan- seen L plated tourers and cabs, but never an M. i am pretty sure the cabs finished in 93. thats why some are L plated.

sure simon will be along with facts and figures

your ecu not fried yet?

[Cotty]

Looks in really good nick
Never seen an M reg one before

[JOSEMI]

the last of a very long 'saga'
We salute you

Jose

[TW166Y]

wow never seen an m-plate very impressive! seen L's but never an M

[Simon13]

tourings and cabs were made up to 93. So this one just hung around the dealers waiting to get registered thats all!

E36 versions of cabs and tourings were out by M plates

Although i have no seen an L reg Cab only 1.6 and 1.8 tourers

[bmwe30mtech]

m redge e30 . Looks very nice condition.

Oi watch it!

Although I must admit...that is rare!!! I aint ever seen an M reg before. Maybe theres still an unregistered one somewhere in a garage that we can put on a 55 plate

Better not be or they'll be some argy bargey as i stipulated that It should only be done if it benefited the car. The ECU though is not standard UK spec and neither is the alarm system by all accounts there's a bit more to it than the ordinary stuff.

Possibly right on the point of hanging around a dealers after all thats how most superceeded models get registered late. In this case though I'm glad it did as it gives it a real and tangible rarity that outweighs it's non ballistic performance and lack of a six pot up front. In my opinion.

Why is it not, "Standard UK spec" ? The car is uk spec.

My ECU has'nt fried yet, i've got the "Viper 2 Extreme", good result's


P.s Nice motor

and also the fact that being registrered later it will have less miles too. Being registrered later gives it exactly qualities of a newer car. It is them being used that makes them wear obviously ! So that car to me is as new as any other M registrered car !

It's not even got as many miles as many M plate's so really it's like having a 2000' plate

[JOSEMI]

well, yeah but u know what I mean
just trying to make a point !

Jose

[Cheekychunkyfunkymonkey]

55k genuine from new lads but there's also a quandarry here!
I have two garages One holds a 72 Spitfire the other a 78 e21
needless to say If I want to keep the Three in tip top notch somethings
gotta go. Also I dont want to rack the miles up but equallyy I dont want to hide it away and watch it seize up. Dillemma!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm only going by what I've been told but the security system is not UK

spec. For obvious reasons over the web I'll not go into details but it

hasn't got the side flamethrowers

and believe it or not this was a real option for e30's although thankfully

not in this country .

my pleasure: I wouldn't either mate ! - question was out of curiosity but I would have though of the answer anyway !

Jose

[Pilsbury]

AFAIK, if you had an unregistered E30, and registered it today, you would qualify for the latest 55 plates, am I correct?

[Zayyan]

Yeah

[Cheekychunkyfunkymonkey]

Yep your right! an e30 on a 55 plate,

personally I'd hang on till next year

and shove it on a 56(I'm a snob).

further more if you wanted a period plate JKL etc

you'd have to specifically obtain one and then re-register it.

What a great wheeze that would be as half of the main dealer

technicians out there wouldn't have a clue where to start when you

took it in for a service.

Just that would make it worth to see their faces

real nice motor though! Maybe pop an m42 in it for a bit of poke and use as a daily driver. Keep the others in the garage. These cars need to be used!

[Cheekychunkyfunkymonkey]
