lol if he put answers to every question up the post would be huge. If you want to buy one and like the look of this then give him a call, its not that hard to let your fingers do the talking

If its concourse your after (hence the dislike of the covers in the engine bay perhaps) you would also have to change the front bumper and the rear spoiler as these came off a later car just to make it look better.But they aren't the proper ones for this age of m3.

I know he has every single uk mot, but you would need to call and discuss with him the exact history etc.

You should pop round on a fine day and we'll take some pics of yours ellis, just as long as we don't spend ages looking for fire escapes bathed in sunlight and then getting told off when we use them lol.

If i could afford it i would have this off him i know how he looks after his cars.

But he's selling this to fund another intergrale (hes had two already) must have the lhd bug large style!

This was his last grale in both its incarnations :-




In fact thats GialloEvoII's grale next to his which is also a lovely car, if you wanna hear wastegate chatter you have to hear a grale!

That is a gorgeous M3, seen it before me thinks. The timing chains would have had to have been done with 176k kms on it, they should be done at 90-120k miles.

Great car, if only I had a garage!!!

Pete,
Thanks for the disk,Sorted my outlook with my t68i sync.As for pics of the grale were did you dig that one up from ?Did you take it?

Completly of subject now but i went to the bolney stage on sat to see about hosting a lancia meet there and the landlady was telling me what a good day the jap car meet was and how well behaved people were!And they would do a day like that again.

All this information was volunteered not asked for!

yeah i took that pic at trax last year ellis, could do with taking some decent photos of yours (like simons above) as it looks top.

Only trouble with doing another 'bolney' is that we completely swamped the place, the queue for food and drink was like a rugby scrum, cars were queued for miles on every road to the village, there is talk of another meet, but it may have to be somewhere that can cope with the numbers. They stage should be quite happy to accomodate you for a lancia meet, they've had us a few times plus also do a ferrari meet from time to time.

Just to throw my twopenneth in.....I ran a 1987 E30 in Lachs Silver, looked just like this one except it had the Hartge full monty upgrade, for 11/2 years on a daily basis. It was one
fantastic car. Swapped it for the Scoob in the end.

If anyone wants to know anything about the E30 M3 feel free to mail me and I will try to oblige.

AGREE- stunning

looking at E30 325M tech this weekend - wish I could spare more money.

didnt realise these M3's are 4 cylinder - always thought they were the little six.

are they turbo or where does the extra horses come from

er no there not turbos

The extra horses come from a bmw motorsport engine, which from memory only the e30 318is and the e30 m3 can boast (in the car range) if my bmw history is correct.

Actually just remembered an extra one, theres an italian 325 that uses m3 running gear on a std 325 body....
