I plan to get the car to him with wheel n tyres fitted and without springs, and instructions are to make it fit right through the travel.

And that's still probably faster than my CA

meanwhile in estonia........

this was originally posted by someone else quite some time ago, i kept the link because i have a massive soft spot for e30 m3's, and i liked what i saw at the start of his restoration, after keeping tabs on this car for a while now it seems he's finished it, words don't do it justice in my opinion...

i think from memory he bought it from a guy in the nurburgring car park after the original owner had just killed the motor at a drive day....

i can't read it, but the pictures tell me enough.

Such a cool thing. An E30 M3 was on my shortlist of contenders just before buying the new car, but I couldn't justify the cost. My heart yearns for one!

[phunky_monkey]

Just finished the thread - awesome. I'm super jealous!

[Marlin]

You'll remember thats the very car my Irish mate sold to a dude at the burger Ring on the spot when he blew the engine?

He's really done a speccy job on that.

Where is the E30 build with the 540i V8?

[Marlin]

Surely you mean the one with the V10 M5 Roy?

[Roy]

So it was a V10? It was silver from memory, the only colour for a real car

I love that car! lost the link to the build thread though

[Marlin]

The original forum link is on my other computer.... but here it is in a nutshell;

[R32gts-t]

Ben: I do remember that. Pretty cool to see it come full circle. I'm in love with it, much as I am in love with the below M3 Grp A car:

he's a bit pushy coming out of the pits!

another cool e30/tarmac drive (best after 30 seconds)

[phunky_monkey]

Yeah that's the best E30 vid I've seen, watched it again a few weeks back.

This is very cool too:
