humm, i'm really fan of the M3 E30. i had one for trackdays, fitted with a 3.2/6 speed gearbox, groupe A front and rear axle etc...... a real beast.

my ex car is about to be fitted with a compressor, and about to be full welded caged and welded body.

some of my friends are building dtm replicas (not only stickers), but with big s14 engine, fully welded body/cage, big front and rear axle....

i sold mine to get a csl, but i think about my E30 each day :sad:.
this is it (and me:smokin:, making love my car)







where is your car now ?

Hi,

7.77 - I had a road E30 M3 with the S50 B32 / 6 Speed etc.

Very quick car, and with the 3.73 rear LSD it was as quick
as a CSL on the motorway, thats for sure.

I have a 2.5 S14 DTM engine here which is making around
350 BHP 8 Injector, 50 mm Slides, Inconnel Header all the
correct bits which I am going to sell, so if any of your
colleagues are interested please let me know.

My Car is in the Garage at the moment, having the
pressure relief valve on the dry sump pump renewed.

Nice E30 M3 you had there, did you move the engine back
at all ?

Ah, this old chestnut... the E30. Here's mine before I got rid... was too nice/clean to drive and get dust on it! Was totally sorted with 284 cams etc and spotless/pristine bodywork. A great handling car, but in reality an old and slow car that felt fragile.

Hi,

Last pics for now.

Ade- nothing slow and fragile about this E30.

I'm sure it is far from slow given the state of tune! And not sure it's an E30! (actually not really tune, but more like rebuilt-into-a-racecar-with-a-slightly-non-standard-E46M3-engine! )

Looks great though!

Love the car Gorilla :beer:


Not too keen on that spoiler though (i know its practical, but can you get a better looking practical one )

Awesome looking machine! I bet it sounds fantastic with those side exit exhausts!:smt055:supz:

Don't listen to Mark (csl_mba) about the spoiler, he doesn't have a clue and is only a 'guest' here... :clown:










I think he used to own a CSL at some point - allegedly... :whistle:

[7.77]

the engine was in the standard position (no back move), but the dampers were modified to cope with the weight of the engine.

with a standard front axle, there was only understeering at high speed/corner.....and with the right front axle, it was great.

it was also a road car :whistle:, so i sold it after a new law in france, where policemen could now take your car and sell it (and keep the money) if it isn't as registered (no modification allowed or possible).

it had a 3.91 final ration with 80% lsd. quick as a rabbit doing things with his female. quarter mile in 13.1 (with traction prob at low gear ), and a 1000 m (0.6 mile in 23.6 seconds), it was as quick as a csl from 0 to 140 mile/hour. miss it !!

please let me know when sell something, i can send a message on the french M3 E30 message board.:beer:
