Its that time again fellow e30zoners. That source of so much controversy, excitement and hushed whispers in darkened alleyways is once again upon us. Its time to dig out those dusty old photo's and pray for redemption from the merciless e30 gods themselves. E30zone car of the month is here yet again!
After last months free for all, this month it has been decided that its time to let the little ones out to play. Yes, that's right, the underdog has its chance at glory, this month its the much maligned and misunderstood M40's shot for the goal!
So if you've spent years defending your super smooth 4 pot, explaining with great pleasure to the m20 lovers how little petrol it takes to get you to Waitrose and back and singing the praises of a head that doesn't crack when the sun comes out, get out there and get snapping.
As ever, the prize is a full month of exposure on the e30zone banner and the potential to win car of the year and appear in an e30zone calendar. Will there be a prize for car of the year? Will there even be a car of the year?
These great unanswered questions are in your hands my friends, but I digress. For now, ignore these small things and concentrate on the task at hand, we want your car for this competition so post up those pictures my small engined friends. Its your time to shine!
Mr Clarksun.

Here's my 318i, had her for a year and a half, the only things she's needed to get through the last two MOT's were 4 tyres!
Still in love
Looking forward to Callender Classic Weekend

Annoyingly... because I hate him... I think josh's car is a clear winner, as was discussed last month, the story behind the car goes a long way to making the car.

No that was Gaydon last year Jon, wore BBS this year, the wheel has been repaired, got it done through Carlos, very good repair job, going to get them re-furbed soon and then back on the car as I have missed the 225 rear tyres dearly

Thought with your post-whoring, I'd use one of your pics, then I'd have more chance cos you'd be voting and posting about my car AND your pic...

It is meaningless to ask; which is real, 'real' or imaginary? It is simply a matter of which is the more useful description
