E46 to E30 Convert
Hello Everyone,
Its good to stay in contact with those who share a similar passion so I finally signed up, thought I'd introduce myself.
I wanted to officially introduce my 'new to me' E30 M3.
I have been around cars my whole life and after a wonderful couple years with my E46 325i I decided to come to the DARK SIDE.
A friend of mine was actually searching for an E30 to use as his DD when he stumbled upon a small ad in an obscure location for an E30 M3. I was heavy into tuning my E46 at the time and just out of curiosity I phoned the guy to ask for some pics. I was told that the car was parked away and covered in his garage, and the garage was blocked with 10 feet of snow so I could not have pics at that time. I dismissed this as one of those unicorns that don't really exist, and that was that. A few weeks later to my suprise I get some pics sent via email - it was love at first sight. I had resigned to thinking that I should be happy with my E46, afterall I had won a few awards with it at a local Euro Show (including Best in Show), but I could not stop thinking of my unicorn. My GF was incredibly supportive actually and told me to 'go for it!', so myself and a couple friends parted out my E46 in about 24 hours. I also sold my other toy - my Ducati.
Enter E30 M3 - So brief history goes this car was originally purchased by a BMW Master Mechanic, then sold years later to a girl who was heavily involved in the local BMW community. I think the original owner ended up with it for a while again until it found a home with the PO who raced in Targa Newfoundland a few years back.
I have almost a complete service history and believe me when I say this car has been well cared for. In fact when I had to have the 'First Time Inspection' which is quite an exhaustive evaluation, the only thing I needed to replace was a ball joint.
ps - here is a before and after of my E46
