Venger was a tougher baddie than Mum-rah. He had to deal with Tiamat and Dungeonmaster!

Being able to kick the ass of a 3 foot pensioner is hardly anything to write home about.

Dungeonmaster was a match for Yoda.

He had the skullet (bald mullet) of power. Mum-Rah was a walking brand endorsement for elastoplast. Then he wore a skirt. Venger and his black flying horse as best cartoon villain FTW

That time has come my fellow e30zoners. The burden of deciding which of you to discard at the wayside and which to lift onto a podium for all to admire has been passed to me. I'd like to say its a task I undertake with a heavy heart and a sackful of guilt. But I don't. Life is hard, it has its ups and downs and you wont get far if you let the downs get you... well... down, for want of a better word.

So without further ado I will put you out of your misery. After much deliberation over the many fine examples placed before me (and some not so fine!) I have come to the conclusion that there is one car that stands out head and shoulders above the rest as this months E30zone Car of the month.

Ever heard the phrase 'the wheels maketh the car'?

Well in this case the wheels, superb attention to detail, sublte styling modifications, stunning base car and incredibly well detailed engine bay maketh this car. At first glance its clearly evident that this car is one of the best examples this country has to offer.

A stunning car thats a true credit to its owner and one that I think we should all be proud to have on the zone.

Step forward and take a bow c76jon. Prepare for fan-mail and adulation from strangers on the street. Be proud of your achievement and bask in the glory as there is no higher accolade you could wish to receive.

Your immaculate M3 is E30Zone Car of the month for August 2007.

And now, the car itself.....

Pah, Clarksun bottled it. Car isn't on the Zone anymore. Eko should have won it.

What size flat cap for Clarksun? :snigger:


Not to say the car isn't absolutely amazing!!!!

Well iam honoured,truly honoured

I thankyou for this accolade on the cars behalf

I was very lucky to own this car and it was a very very difficult decision to part with her

It will be strange not to take it to Gaydon if im honest

but i replaced it with something that has been bred from the same loins and that too is an incredible car........have i told you about the noise?


so many thanks for the comments and a big thankyou to BMW for making the E30 and for me especially the E30 M3

There are some outstanding cars on this site and iam flattered to have been chosen
