Absolutely stunning.

As an aside, I have never seen one with those Recaros in. The are one of the best seats ever fitted to anything.

I can just make out the plate.

It belongs to a customer of ours and we have done a lot of work to it. It's a jap import and in fantastic condition.

A few weeks ago......













.... a photographer came to shoot the car for this months BMWCC magazine Straight Six.

That pretty much wraps it up for me as the car is now sold and in storage for the winter.

A difficult decision!

A house move in early 2020 to one needing a lot of renovation work plus the change of dynamic of the car once restored meant it was time to move it on.

I simply would not use the car as I used to once it had been restored.

The consolation prize was the purchase of the first brand new car I ever bought which was my F82 M4.

Despite moving on what some consider to be one of the greatest M cars of all time in favour of a modern turbo M, I still have a couple of non M E30's including the one car i'll never sell.



I suppose I should start a thread about it on here considering I've owned it 16 years so far........
