      but if you start with just a regular e30 you are a step behind if you would start with e30 m3 instead.... (rack, better brakes and ability to upgrade to bigger brakes easier, selection of wheels, better looks, reinforced suspension componets and on and on)...

      i say start with the best car you can and make it better / faster :p

                My E30 M3 wasn´t that expensive and I´ll also sell the engine&gearbox and possibly more stuff to offset costs.
                fixed that for you :) reg e30s look much better :-D

                      It's your car do as you like with it. But couldn't you have doen this with a 320is has pretty much the same heritage but lacks the suspension. Just a thought.

                        Funny purist comments,
                        Some people don´t even maintain there cars and give others shit for going beyond the norm.

                        S14 motors aren´t all that. I have one, and spending $15-20k for it to be 280-300hp is just stupid,
                        When for the same money you can upgrade the suspension, S50, bushings, and so on,

                        heritage of the E30 M3 is not the S14, they could have used a 24V M20 in there at 3.0L and 9k rpm´s ,
                        People don´t even know the history of the S14 and E30 M3,
                        Wich by the way is the biggest BMW parts bin ever made,

                        I will say this, I would have entertained the idea of a turbo S14 engine in there. I will say that E30 M3´s are way hotter then any other E30 and or BMW.

                            because you are THE M3 guru!!!!!! you own us all, cause you've seen my neglected car.

                            HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA a stroked M20 at 9000 rpms on a track.

                            nothing I said was about being a purist it was just a discussion about what he is going to do.

                            I live in germany, work at a BMW dealership, and am doing the equivelant of BMW step (in german) (i am a dumb american BTW) and own a E30 M3 along with a ton of reg. e30 stuff, and dont know about the heritage of my "dream" car that i own. please.
