    Hi Everyone.

    Great site you have here, i came across it via a website refferal from PBMW magazine who featured a chap called Uwe Brunzel and his black e30 m3.

    I dont own any BMW just yet, since passing my test i have had nothing but japanese peformance cars (Dan hides from the great big flame thrower aimed his way :D), but i'm looking to build a track spec E30 in the new year.

    I am actually a BMW fan and love both the E30 and E36 shape BMW's (aswell as most the early BMW models and of course the newer stuff), after being brought up on them since my dads first E21 323i many many years ago.

    Anyway, hope to stick around, ask stupid questions and hopefully meet a few owners when the car is finished.

    Cheers.

    Dan.

    Hi Dan, welcome on board. There certainly is a lot of info here to look thru. So you read about some bloke named Uwe Brunzel? There is an Uwe on the forum here but thats not the same guy, our Uwe drives a clapped out rust bucket. He is typically leaving a bit of rust behind at each track he visits. :)

    Cheers fellas for the warm welcome.... i will take some photo's of the mag tomorrow and post up (i dont have a scanner), the car in question certainly isnt a rust bucket :D

    In the mean time, i will obviously search on here, but if anyone has any links to decent e30 m3 lightweight panels (everything fron bonnet to wings), then please let me know.

    Cheers.

    Welcome Dan. I think you make the right choice with the E30. There's nothing wrong with a japanes car, but the E30 is such an "easy" car to drive and can be modified for reasonable money (if you stay away from anything Grp N or Grp A....). If you're not sure if this is the right car for you, just come alonge the next trackday and hop in my passenger seat. I am sure this will speed your own build up no time :D

    Dont worry Martin, Uwe's got one of them for his passenger seat. If your nice to him he might let you borrow it. :)

    That seat will be for sale soon. There is a second one which I believe is for sale as well. Just need to speak to DanM3 (who bought one off me) if he is still thinking about selling.
    Recaro SRD (looks like Sport EVO) in black cloth with black Alcantara bolsters on E30 runners. One mount already lowered.
