Geeman on here used to have one, he can probably give you some pointers. he may spot this thread in any event.

Just think of maintaining a M3 and you are about there I would guess

Wayne at German Cars in Norfolk is the best bloke to talk to. He imports them into the UK. Will dig around for his number for you... it's where I got mine from.

In the mean-time, look at these sites...

I had a minty mint Lachs Silver one with heated black leather and air-con. It was the best E30 I've ever had. Wayne was great to deal with as well. I picked his brains and messed about for a while before I decided which one to go for... he was very patient with me!

Giles, where abouts in Norfolk is Wayne?

Post Thu Jul 20, 2006 12:23 pm

Erm... near Kings Lynn.

Lost his details and the website is offline now.

Pretty useless aren't I...?

what kind of value are these holding at the moment-when i spoke to wayne he reckoned 4k would see you a nice one-not an all out show car car-but a nice car with good miles and history

Ive got one with real Italian plates!

Mine had Portugese plates... Kept them on as long as I could!

Ã‚£4k is about right for a decent one. The best thing about them (apart form the S14 of course) is that they are pretty much 100% rot free.

top motor andrew bud!

here m8 is that a hartge kit im seeing on your car there,,, h26 late kit if im right..

Post Sat Jul 22, 2006 10:11 am

Sure is Ian, i now have all the hartge parts ever produced, but im not sure if im going to fit the rest of the kit.

Andrew

Post Sat Jul 22, 2006 10:12 am

well i think u should fit it

Post Sat Jul 22, 2006 10:33 am

Si i dont want to add anymore weight to the car, i would rather fit AC than the body kit.

Andrew

Post Sat Jul 22, 2006 11:25 am

plus the kit also looks a bit minging.

the front valance is ok thought.

alpina styling is so much nicer.

Post Thu Jul 27, 2006 11:45 pm

if i had 3.5k i'd bite your arm off ian.very nice looking car that,a fair price too at that mileage

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:44 am

i want one so bad,
i'm not picky but

white, cardinal leather, AC_s Type II 3 piece, M3 steering rack, M3 suspension
& brakes.

would be just perfect

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 9:50 am

They didn't do the 2 door version in white with Cardinal leather unfortunately... sounds nice though.

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 10:06 am

well aware but are u saying it can't be done!!!!!!

they didn't do alot of things that are featured on this site.
if u've got the money/parts/vision anythings possible

Post Fri Jul 28, 2006 1:50 pm

That black 320is is perfect!!! Bit of a sleeper too as most people would think it was a kitted up 320!lol.

Oh if money was no object.
