Sorry to hear that Mark, after the issues you've had it looked like you finally had it sorted. Hopefully it's gone to a good home.
Thanks Richard. I thought it was going to be OK but last Wednesday night I found myself in an ambulance and back in Treliske hospital. Long story short, I'm unable to work (well full time anyway) for a while and my partners wage doesn't cover everything. Lee (Cheapstraitsix) is most certainly the right man for the job judging by his previous BMW and how he has used and maintained them. Thanks guys.
Well Lee picked up his E30 M3 yesterday afternoon and apart from the seat position being awful (as we're somewhat different height and build) he got home without a hitch. We met at ARM's workshop, as I had the new tyres fitted, tracking done and oil changed and I must admit it felt a bit strange watching someone else drive off in 'my E30' but Lee was clearly as excited about taking ownership as I had been, so I'm reassured that it's in good hands.
Anyway, much as I'll miss the E30 there are other distractions on the horizon...

I've always liked the E46 M3 and it was the things like that interior and no sunroof that really sold me on this example. So many LSB cars came with blue leather and I just couldn't have lived with that.
The car goes over to ARM today but not before I go pick up a set of AP brakes, which apart from a rear cage, is about the only mod I had planned. I definitely plan to get out on track in the new year.

Strut brace is on its way and I picked up these today.

Also opted to fit a stud kit.
