E30 M52-swapped Trackday Car
Discussion
Well, the end of an era comes.
Yesterday marked the end of my 13 years with this E30 as it was taken to a new home. Hopefully soon to be seen smashing round Castle Combe in the very near future!
It has been a great 13 years. In fact, I've spent about 15 years of my life with E30s so it does feel strange being without one once more. It was hard not to shed a tear when it drove away, but I very much reassured it was in the hands of someone else who would continue to use it as intended with the due care it deserves. I'm never going to forget it for sure.
The search for a suitable 987 continues.

So last week, I bought this.
It's a 2007 987.1 Cayman S in guards red, 72k miles. I've been looking for a little while; this was the 6th I'd looked at and the third I drove and it was a significantly better example than all of the others I'd looked at before.
So I guess this permanently closes the thread on my E30! And I've started a new one on the Cayman here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Every now and then I check this thread to see how my old car was doing, it's been a while and you've sold it.
It was a pleasure to see how much love you put in to this car and how much you enjoyed it, I hope the next owner enjoys it just as much
It will be forever the first car I paid cold hard money for & my 1st BMW which I had for an amazing 5~6 years... which then led me on a merry journey of many E36's, E92's, E93's including a glorious '94 E36 3.0 M3.
Late last year I went a bit left field and bought a bright yellow Abarth 595, turns out its the same width as an E30! not the same to drive obviously, but brings back the fun and excitement of driving just like the E30.
I'll let you know when I'm selling it in a few year @motorhole just in case ;-)
