Some are.. See the odd E30 M3 EVO asking $100k :( Most of the good non EVO one's seem to be sitting around that 45k - 55k mark though

Dad sold his E30 M3 for like 30k in the early 90's :laugh:

Oh to turn back the clock

Tru but you can pick up an early model e46 for 50-60k even the later model 05 n 06 models are only selling for 70-100kish. Still expensive but I don't think I'd have an e30 over the e46

Performance, handling and stopping you wouldn’t realistically buy an E30 M3 other than acknowledging it for what it was, in its day.

A very good one will only make 110rwkw – 115rwkw, which is pretty depressing.

Bargain buying are the E36’s, shape wise they are a bit of an “R33”.. If you know what I mean, but to get into an M3 that can offer enough of a package to play with other cars you cannot go wrong.

Drove a 3.0lt 5speed, not too shabby want to get my hands onto the 3.2lt 6pd thou.

Bit hard getting bolt on performance parts as the US market got the dunga non M3 motor, but never the less cool things still pop up

I can't afford either of them so price is irrelevant

:laugh:

Fair point. I wouldn't mind one as my next car. See how we go lol.

e36 is a good shout I like the r33 comparison lol.

could have got you one a couple years back for a steal, one of our sales men put it in the river after a little drink driving session

Step one: Never get a GF

Step two: never go out

Step three: M3 ownership

Step four: Profit

yeah true. For that kind of money I wouldn't buy a ferrari though.

I’m not a Ferrari-boy anyway, I appreciate their engineering, but not for me. GT3 RS on the other hand

GT3 RS...swoon

VW lover eh?

im goin to try drive the 35 GTR we have traded in tomorrow, the Evo X was a dissapointment

Grew up with a very German family, Porsche’s and M3’s. I’d be disowned if I ever went to the darkside

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
