Ok so you win a shed load of money on the lottery and you can buy a huge shed in which to pack the supercars you druel over, would you keep your E30.

Well i would get some custom hot rod company to mount E30 body on a supercar chassis, engine, etc.

Then go to a swanky part of London and race all the supercars in the ultimate sleeper.

sorry guys but if any of you had a large pot of money i really dont think you would be pissing around with e30"s, and the rust/oil leaks that come with them.

a mint e28 alpina b7 turbo for me (for driving down to cornwall in the summer), and some other non bmw motors.

That gets my vote plus a lot of expensive custom carbon fiber panels(bumpers,wings,bonnet,roof pannel,doors,ETC)

It would have to be on a converted RHD E30 M3 though with an LS7 V8 :)

I would have the E30 restored to mint condition and keep it mint and 100% origional (as in all replacement parts would be genuine BMW)

Then buy a 325, mint that then 327 it with a virtually unlimited budget engine :cool:

Would also keep the scirocco and completely transform that with a big power audi quattro engine and running gear, probably group B rally spec, fully stripped out on compmotive MO alloys and cut slicks..... track tool in the extreem...... might invest in some advanced driving lessons too :mad:

A little while ago BMW built a new 2000ti (i think!) outside in a glass box out of mostly new parts! I think they have quite a lot of parts still available through some scheme they run.
