Some pictures of my old e30's and current ride

[andrewe30m3]

I thought I'd share some pictures of my old e30's, e36's and my current 328i sport.

some of your might not recognise the white m3, as its now Kos's car, formerly Dips.

That a real M5 (as aposed to a M535i) - if so its lovely, great hartge wheels on it.

the second pic of the m3 (sideview) looks a lot
like a 190e at a quick glance.

theres just something about it that makes it look different.

my mate has a 328i but not a sport

he's had it derestricted etc

big bore throttle body, chip, all remapped etc.

he had it kitted up but he's just taken it back to standard
and he's making an m3 rep with just subtle mods extra splitters etc

Can't wait to see it... worst decision I have made selling that one!

Re the E28 - Afraid not, it was an M535i and was a dog... much more to go wrong that an e30!

no i'm sure he's on about the M3, its a cult car in the bm scene in the uk. he never saw the full potential off it

[stevetigger]

No Conan above asked if the E28 was an M5 and he replied "No" look above, thats why it says RE the E28

[Kos]

yes, i agree about that, but i told him i own his old m3, he quoats me say he regrets selling that one!!

andrew..........do you regret it??

[eun]

you 2 are like a married couple

[Kos]

you 2 are like a married couple

no we just happen to on the zone at stupid hour of the day, got a similar mentality LoL

[andrewe30m3]

Do I regret it, yes and no ; I'll explain, I regret it because I let an E30 M3 go for Ԛ£4k or somewhere around that figure and to get another clean M3 you are now looking at much more that that (Only 1 rough one for sale in autotrader in the whole country!!). I regret it because it was an involving drive , handled well, bodywork wasn't great but i thought it was pretty clean with no real rust issues. And the alpina head it had on it was very cammy and i really enjoyed driving it.

Why i dont regret it, is it needed a new interior, the old one was shot... including carpet? ( god knows how), one wing was slightly off colour and the scuttle wasnt great, it needed a new exhaust (custom jobby of course due to the m30 engine in there), and i#when direvn hard i found the front suspension not to have enough travel... and it could drink! LOL (what you get living and communting iin london with a 3.5 motor).

I sold it to fund buying my first house, which in the end i didnt need the money from the sale of the car from, as the bank lent us more than enough money ... doh... i went straight out and bought the cab at the top!!

In hindsight, i wish I had kept it, spend Ԛ£1500 on it doing the things mentioned above and used it... none the less, I had some good times in it, including maxing it out on a long trip abroad once, 260KPH (150 i think) and also going to the rockingham thing with it, so it wasn't so bad and i had some fun for the 3 months i owned it for. And also making it into the totlal bmw mag too as well as selling it for a tdiy profit... not many cars you can have that much fun in, enjoy and flog for more than you bought it for!!

Good luck to Kos, i saw it at donnignton in 2004 and it looked great then, really lookng forward to phase 2!
Keep it up boys!

[Kos]

interior wasnt too bad, jus a drivers seet was needed, dips replaced the front 2, and sold the originals ones and it cost him nothing!!

i now have evo sports leather in there, bady work is what really let it down, not just cosmetics. thats what i'm getting sorted at the mo.
