hilux Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Is the e30 one the original m3 with flared arches that comes in lhd only? Do love a car with flared arches. Thats the M3 version, rarae as rare can be - lovely cars Agree about the flared arches - in the eighties they had squared off arch tops which I adore - eg: Porsche 944 Turbo, E30 M3, Integrale Quote
langy Posted July 26, 2012 Author Posted July 26, 2012 I do like the Integrale, but fear it'd be in being serviced more than it'd be on the road. That said, I do know someone that has one run as his daily car for many years. Probably a car to be used regularly rather than now and again. Unsure about the M3.... , a friend had a convertible for a few years, maybe I'll have a chat with him. Still liking the G40R Quote
Norman Verona Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Will you make your bl00dy mind up! I'd vote for the integralle. I had 2, an 8 valve and then the first 16 v imported into the UK. The 16 v broke down twice. A turbo bearing collapsed at 50,000 miles and they forgot to recall mine for an oil pipe mod which was rubbing on the chassis. The pipe had a small hole which I noticed before it did any further damage. The 16 v was followed by an Escort Cossie, not a patch on the Lancia, Quote

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 oh look http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=26075 Quote
Pistol Pete Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 Sorry a bit OT but more flared arches :oops: : Loved the Deltas :love: , all the way from the S4 to the last EVO 16 valve :t-up: . Quote
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 think you might find the beemer a little slow although they were a lot lighter than the M3 logs of late nice looking car though although I dont think it is a track day car - bit precious for that my pretties The new Ginetta might be an interesting propostion - certainly fairly rare - dunoo if it willgive you that special buzz when you walk up to it though Be interested to see one close up - give us a shout if you want a passenger and a second opinion if you want some company when out hunting Quote
langy Posted July 27, 2012 Author Posted July 27, 2012 cleggy, I don't mind being a bit different on the car front, how many Xtreme's are on the road ? I'll bear in mind the offer of help in the search........ going to Leeds anytime soon Quote
