Funny enough i was on ebay.de yesterday and saw it. As said the engine looks really nice, but Ԛ£16k is a lot of dollar. I'd rather wait a few more months and buy a nice E46 M3 cab. I've been looking (Dreaming more like) and i've seen a couple of average ones for Ԛ£18k. When the new one comes out next year, i reckon you can pick them up quiet cheaply winkeye

Ho and the interior is a bit :eek: If it's what you want then it's worth the money though cause we worked out that it would cost you about Ԛ£8k to transplant a 3.8 V8 lump into a E30 unless you can do most of the work your self. His engine bay has also been blinged, so add that to the cost of the car, plus wheels and interior and stuff and it's actually not bad apart from being a LHD. Me I'll keep on dreaming about a jet black E46 M3 cab with red leather, split rims with black face and polished lips, all black lights and slightly tinted windows with just a couple of screens and a little bass :cry:

Yep. I'd get rid of all my other cars and use it as a everyday car. Think it all dawn's on me when i went to Manchester to see a lovely yong lady recently (And you know how 1st impressions count and all that) Well i looked at my collection and there was not a single car that i'd call classy that you could pull up outside her house in. All my cars were too pimp/rude, call it what you want to and that's when it dawn'd on me that i need a nice car that isn't too modded that you can crize about in and look class. I'd still keep the Rieger for the times i go for a cruze with my mates and stuff, but all the others will eventually go and yep, id get the windows slightly tinted, black lighting all round, slam the bitch on some nice splitties with black face and polished lips, a couple of screens with a bit of bass and that's it. The red with black would look fantastic too. Just have to start saving now winkeye

love that! if money was no object..

And Bootyman Judging by the pics i've seen of your cars i'm guessing you could have probably bought a e46 m3 cab with the money you've spent on them lol :cool:

Several winkeye Saying that i dont regret any of them. Obviousley given the chance again, i'd do it differentl, but you cant go through Life regretting what you've done so i'm cool. I just have to stop spending like a ediot and start saving :wink:

This car is nicely done, but a clean cream interior would look so much better. It's also a LHD car so the resale value here wont be much :(

omg bootyman.... you're... maturing!
would you like some string backed gloves for christmas? :)

I can see what you mean tho, perhaps you should just turn up to first dates by taxi? At least you don't have to worry about where you've left your car if you get lucky :D

This has been on e30.de for a little while, not sure if the interior is to my taste, but it looks immaculately well done, hats off to him for that :cool:

Thanks for the offer Morat :wink: Next year will defo be my last year in the show thing. I'll only be into classy inderstated looks from then :D

Reason this car hasn't sold and probably wont sell is the fact that it's hard to part with Ԛ£17k for a E30 cab, when there is so much more out ther you can buy with the money, but i think the car is worth every penny and i'd buy it if i had spre Ԛ£17k in my back pocket, but the interior would defo go. I'd also convert it to a RHD, and replace the alloys with some 10j BBS RS and enjoy :twisted: winkeye
