Introduction, hello and pics

[matthew_h]

Hello Zoners

I've been lurking a bit recently but thought it was finally time to say hello and introduce myself.

I'm Matt, 30 from Sheffield. I've just bought my first BMW and am lucky enough to have got a Diamond Black E30 M3 and to say I am happy with it is a bit of an understatement.

Hoping to be an active member of the Zone so treat me gently

Pics of my car:







Hope you like it

[tylerma]

i think so. my mates brother has one like that on his white 635 an has never had problems

[billgatese30]

welomce matey, thats a nice looking m3

is it an evoII or is the front spoiler just added on

[Mahmood]

Hi there and welcome.

Plate is deffo illegal. If you were down here where I am you'd be pulled over all the time.

Nice car...what a great intro to the world of beemers.

[E30BeemerLad]

Who is a lucky boy then?!

Welcome to the Zone fella

[matthew_h]

Thanks for the welcome chaps. Good to be here

The plates are illegal but they came with the car and having only had it a couple of weeks (and with Christmas post being crap) I haven't had the V5 yet so can't get a new set made up. Haven't had any grief yet though at all.

I remember drawing Frank Sytner's E30 M3 touring car for an art project when I was about 11 so this is a bit of a dream come true.

[maxfield]

I've seen frank sytners touring car its beautiful.

John is right, it isn't an Evo (1 or 2) it just has the chin spoiler added and the 16" wheels. All done before I got it but I am happy with them. Not strictly justifiable but I think I'll manage

[billgatese30]

i didn't think it was an evoII colour thats what made me ask, i couldn't remember about the fogs and i never realised the rest differed

[maxfield]

Do you plan on modifying it ?

[herman]

Looks good, do you mind me asking how much? You could pm me!!

[matthew_h]

Not really, no.

I've had a couple of modifed cars before (best being a 110bhp mini that looked very stealthy) and want to keep this one in pretty much the state it is in now. Might be the odd addition but it won't be anything serious.

only playin with u chris!!

i think the car looks very very nice and i think that the evo 2 chin spoiler is a must have addition to any m3.i think it transforms the look of the car dramatically

[technoviolet]

if u look close you can see headrests and top of rear seats

all evo2s had silver grey half leather interior

ie side bolsters and headrests

i can see they are not that so i know its not an evo 2 interior
