    I've owned this car longer than any other vehicle I've had, but it's now for sale.

    So this kind of happened.
    It's no secret that I have had a huge love affair with the second generation BMW 3 series for years.  My first one, bought sight...

    I'm very blessed, my wife is way cool and has many incredible assets... :bow:



    In all seriousness, anybody who was planning on surprising a BMW nutthead like me with an E30 M3 has to be somebody special. From a few post up:

My plan was to make the shell look like this after doing a proper roll cage (I was planning on a DTM replica cage) then transferring all the cool bits on the white car into the new shell


    She has already mentioned this evening that now she can carry through with her original plan.:bow:

    Secretly I'd like to sell everything but the shell, then instead of sending it to the scrap yard, put an m20 & 4 lug back 15x10 275/35/15 Hoosiers on it and make it a DSP cone killer...

    Yeah, I know. In the same situation. I am going to sell of a few cars in next year or two. Might be selling the E36 M3 and my M3 replica e36.

    I know, I know. Should consider keeping both being the amount of work over the last 6 years this thing has gone through.

    If it gets parted I am semi interested in the suspension.
