hilux Posted July 26, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langy Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted July 26, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Agree about the flared arches - in the eighties they had squared off arch tops which I adore - eg: Porsche 944 Turbo, E30 M3, Integrale You forgot some... :laugh: And of course, the Quattro.

Pistol Pete Posted July 26, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted July 26, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
