Hi All,
After years of using this website ive finally joined the forums so thought id start with posting a few pictures od my ride. Its a 1990 e30 M3 which ive owned now for just over a year. Its currently having a few tweaks to up the power which was safely mapped to 264bhp.








And heres a video clip from early this year with it on the AC Scnitzers.

That is the absolute nuts! lickclap

Is this the same one I was drooling over at a Sunday Service a year or so ago? (the last one at the railway station IIRC). Those BBS really set it off.

Haha Thanks guys but im honestly not that obsessed with cleaning (maybe im in denial?)

When i bought it was being used as a daily and in pretty good condition (It was the best one id seen by far to be honest as all the others were rough as a badgers ars*!)

Fully documented history with 185,000 KM's on the clock and all solid underneath. It had uprated high lift Shrick cams (276/284 i think), full Milltek exhaust, carbon airbox/ plenum and replacement MAF,some head porting and a Dastek UniQ ecu piggyback with Paul Shephard sorting out the mapping. It also had the leather Recaro SR seats with the matching M tags in the seats.

Once i bought it home i got straight to work and spent about 12 hours with a porter cable polisher as the paintwork was in a bit of a state- lots of surface scratching/ cobwebs etc. I swapped out the std heavy rear spoiler for a full carbon fibre item and gurney flap, while also fitting the carbon DTM mirrors (which to be honest are absolutely useless but they look great :-))

Its running on H&R coilovers which have proved to be absoluely fantastic as the old Koni setup was very tired and made the car feel sluggish and cumbersome. While there the rear worn top mounts were swapped for Rogue Engineering top mounts. The BBS RS are 17 x 8.5 Front and 9.5 rear. RS 212 / 197 and have only been on the car about a month and i havent curbed them yet...

Recently ive just swapped out the minging white dial faces with a red font to the standard oem black items and also swapped the steering wheel to a Momo Tuner 320mm.

The engine is currently getting rebuilt including a few little extras so ill post back with progress. Im taking it to the Nurburgring in September (17th to 21st). Maybe a few of you guys will be out there at the same time. :-)

Cheers,

Warren

Probably not fella - wheels have only been on a month. It was on Ac Scnitzer type 1's before.

Lovely looking car. From 90% of angles, it still looks fresh today - testament to how right BMW got it back in the day...
