    M3 Sport Evolution. Passion and restoration.

    Hello everyone. I have been reading your sites long time, almost six years, but now it was the time to create a nick, introduce myself and write something about me and my cars. My name is Marko and I´m from Finland. I have owned plenty of E30 models and of course M3 is my favorite.

    This car is M3 Sport Evolution 1990 and I have owned she now ten years. First three years I only driven 3tkm. Car works fine, so fine as 100tkm driven can. But there was couple of things at the paint, that makes me angry. Thousands of stone chips and few parking dents. June, in 2009 I made a big decision. Complete restoration, no less.

    So, this was the starting point.

    She stands at the garage and I´ll spare money for her restoration.


    Then, in September -09 it started. First, of course, had to remove almost all of the car. Fortunately, the car was completely rust free. Dirty course, as the pic shows.


    Then little bit more

              Here we go...

              Although the components are factory new, of course, they must first be washed and cleaned thoroughly.

              So got to install the first parts. Long way to go before the engine is running ;)

                          So many small steps.. is there an engine building checklist for say an S14? I imagine going to turn the key one day and thinking... did I put that 2.5mL of lube into that one orifice and is the one felt ring properly oriented? Peaceful, rewarding and maddening.

                            Wow. You've got quite the collection there! Really beautiful cars.

                            Looking forward to watching the progress on this. We'll be building an E30 M3 from the ground up soon as well :)

                              Hey guys :thankyou: for the compliments!

                              The next step was a head. First thorough cleaning.

                              Looks good.

                              Grinded valves.

                              ...and finally head installed and tightened.
