E30 M3

[Bayerischer]

New to the PH forums so I thought I'd put my car(d)s on the table...

This is for family:




This is for fun:









The M3 is in storage as I don't have a garage or any offstreet parking, but will have to get it on the road as soon as spring arrives. Just wondering whether to use a car cover or treat her to a rented garage.

Very smart OP! Always liked the E30s, especially the M3!

Any more details? Is it pretty much standard?

one of the previous owners made a few mods - it's an Evo II spoiler I believe

Lovely! What's the new BMW? Do you do a comparison E30 vs new as Evo did last month when you drive them?

it's an '06 330D SE. fantastic on motorways and on backroads (though keen driving is difficult when carrying the family). I haven't driven the M3 enough for a proper comparison, though after my last drive in the M3 the 330D felt a little like a wobbly barge. Identical 0-60 times at 6.7 seconds I believe (though I haven't conducted scientific tests yet...)

I love the Spec of that M3, Red leather with grey paint......

The paint colour is actually sterling silver - just a particularly grey day those pics were taken

Very nice!!! Pretty rare cardinal interior, is it a European car? That interior was more common in US cars.

According to the history it was ordered by a chap in the UAE but never delivered; it was then sold by a UK dealer

Very nice, that would be a 4star car then

Indeed. Magical place for lovers of the roundel

Looks like it is fitted with a Evo '5' front spoiler, i.e Evo 2 spoiler and the Evo 3 splitter.

Nice car, liking the sterling silver with crimson red leather, all looks very well kept.



Have you had it long?

What is the 6er visible in the last picture through the rear side window?

Yes, its got the splitter as well, which is making me nervous given the number of speedbumps where I live.

Had it since March last year, but its been in storage since then - buying was more a decision of the heart than the head to be honest, and buying and storing it until I had a house with a garage seemed the right thing to do! As I mentioned above I think I'll get it on the road in the spring, despite no house move being imminent, as I bought it to drive it, not as an investment.

Can't recall which 6 is in the background - the dealer always seem to have loads of E24s.

Yes, its the same car. A few more pics
