Could be an "interesting" driving experience
Especialy when it's raining
If I had some spare cash,then,maybe,just maybe I could find some room for it

Karan, that didn't take you long to find! the guy would get more money for it if he put a S14 back in there!

imy id have thought id have converted u to 6 pot power after todays drive....


that m3 looks very nice, but lhd is a prob personally i think

i bet his reserve is bloody high and i also reckon that the bidding will go higher as these conversions are very rare, i only know of one running example in the UK and three in germany.

mine's definitely getting underway next weekend prob once i get my hoist next week

i thought i was doing something unique but everyone is going at it now!!!

hmmm todays drive was :D reminded me of completing the licenses in Gran tourismo where you had to go around these cones in a circle in a mitsi evo...you did it on a real roundabout however...

but not quite enough to convert me from my 4 pot. :lol: but maybe the 6 pot with M-power stamped into the rocker cover will...

Karan..keep up! I posted this in the e-bay section a few days ago!

I'd be a bit worried that the seller has had it since 1990, but it's on a K plate?? Hmmm

It's not so much the fact it's on a K plate...I've seen an E30 M3 evo sport on a 51 plate, but the fact the seller claims he's had it since 1990, but it's on a K..

As you say though it does indeed look very nice...the right colour too :wink:

yeah agree with simon.
How could he have had it since 1990 and it have then been registered as a 1993 K plate. So basically either he has lied (somehow!) and convinced the DVLC that the car was indeed manufactured in 1993

OR

He is german and owned the metal that car was made from.

It is possible that DVLA made an error and gave him a K registration. Imports are a funny business and are not bullet proof when it comes to errors.

I think he has made an error in the listing.

Does also make you wonder why has he ripped the guts out of his own perfect (or is it??) E30 M3, spent so much money on it, including that engine must have cost him a bit, then decide to sell it halfway through???

If that was mine with all that money spent I would be hellbent on getting it finished and reaping the awards!
