Hey guys here's my 88 E30 M3. I've owned it for about 3 years and it's gone through a number of different looks over the years. The last pics are what it looks like now.

Nice car mate, I prefer the wheels in the first few shots, but all down to opinion I guess...

Amazing. We have many E30 M3 fans here, and i am now converted :mrgreen:

The car looks great, and nice to see some quality photography too :) Also, you seem to be very intelligent, it is rare for someone to bother reading the rules :wink:

I see you have been registered for a while, it would be nice to see you around JW more :D

And please please please can we have some high-res pics, and videos if possible.

A very crisp looking car (BTW - the second set of wire wheels are the nicest :twisted: )

Beautiful car dude...excellent photos too. I love the fact that you didn't go overboard on the visual mods...some smoked lenses, exhaust tips, and new rims suit the car wonderfully.

Thanks everyone. I have some 1024x768 and 1600x1200 pictures on my computer. The ones I posted and the ones on my site are the best shots IMO. I'll dig through the others and post some higher res ones up.

I'm jealous :D

Wonderful car!!! I like the fact that you changed the wheels back to the typical E30 M3 design BBS wheels. They're really eighties BMW style and belong on this car. Your car looks to be in excellent condition and I love the colour as well.

Good photographing skills too!

Thanks again everyone. I am a detail freak about my car so it gets cleaned a lot but it's not a garage car, I drive the piss out of it when ever I can. It leads a dual life, some days thrashing about in the mountains and others days being pampered. Here's one of the thrashing days. :D

That's one clean E30 M3.....great ride motoyen and I think ur concept about driving the hell out of it whenever you could is totally correct. It is meant to be driven that way :) Damn, I am so jealous rite now.....so u better give us some wallpaper size of ur ride to settle this jealousness before it turn into something else :mrgreen:

Wow! Impressive car! I have always wanted to drive an M3...it must be so funny! And I heard someone who said that driving the old one is much more fun than the actual car.
Great photos! Thanks! :D

That is a really nice M3, great condition. Together with the rest i do prefer the bbs split rim old wheels.
Nice to see it gets used properly, that cleaning must take hours!

i haven't historically been a big fan of the E30 series aesthetically, but i'll be damned if that isn't a beautiful car. i admire how restrained the exterior modifications are, and love the fact that you reverted back to the oldschool bbs rims. they fit the car perfectly.

Very nice car :D

Yeah I really like the old school wheels as well. I got a good deal on the first BBS set but I felt they looked to big and modern for the car.

As for mods: JimC chip, EVO airbox, SuperSprint euro center section and DTM style exhaust, H&R/Bilstein sport suspension, Zimmerman rotors with stainless steel brake lines. These mods make the car a little faster but mostly they were done to replace worn out OEM stuff.

I take pics all over the place. I'm always keeping an eye out for a new place to shoot.

Those are some great shots of a beautiful car. Your E30 M3 is so well kept. Have you modded it at all besides the rims?
