Our old E30 M3s - Where are they now?

Following on from Andy RB's thread asking about his old M3, where are they now?

Andy RB said:

Be interested to know if any one on here owns my old BMW E30 M3 G507FBL.

Just did my old one.

Was on a H reg

But the guy that bought it off me, put it on a personalised plate. ( E3 OTC )

Untaxed since July 2013
Mot till May 2017 though




I last saw it online in 2013, back on the original wheels, at the now closed "Hertfordshire Car Centre"



Wonder if it was exported? DVLA says not, but would they know?

My old red M3, E749FNU



Last seen on a 2 car transporter, on it's way to Ireland to be built in to a rally car...




I'll put my dad's old one up when I find the bloody photos on the computer!

What I would suggest is has anyone seen an online photo album from Gaydon for the last couple years. Someone has probably walked round and photo'd all the cars.

Bit of digging might turn up some answers?

Sadly there's all of 4 E30 M3s there.

Might need to go back to 2015 or even 2014.

Was that in the mid 1990s ( can't make out the peripheral reg nos in the photo )?

Irish seemed to have a spell of coming over and hoovering up all the oldskool rwd cars ( E21/E30 BMWs, Escorts, Mantas, Asconas, Corollas etc ) that were going in the Classifieds around then

I think my old Cecotto went over the water.
I owned it for 4yrs from 97'.
Macau Blue on a 'G' plate originally after import from Germany then my plate A9MJF. New owner after me put a nice plate on it 'C3OTO'



I hope it's still about.

I would have to travel back through a load of old photos but I'm sure this was at the annual BMW festival in '06/'07 with that plate C3OTO.

Nice one, I would love to see pics of it if you have any, it would be much appreciated.
