Since it's been a LOOONG while since I've been on here...this may be of interest to some.

the most recent acquisition is up and running!
FS Ad:

She was running reasonably well, but I wanted to make her as nice as possible, so off to a mechanic (I'm cheating this time - after rebuilding a coupe of E30's, I simply don't have the time, space, tools, so it's been a real luxury having someone else do the work! And better than I would have, being honest...)
List of parts replaced is pretty extensive, some of them below:
Newish Mtech springs, shocks and struts from the old car (standard - love em), Full new front control arms, track rods, E30 M3 bushes, drop links, new BMW standard exhaust (I LOVE this thing), BTB manifold (unfortunately it was advertised as having a BTB which turned out not to be true), BBTB (thanks Byron!), new WMS discs (the old front R had malformed and cracked coming off, ouch), new Toyo Proxes all round, Inspection II, bonnet foam, gearbox seals, guibo & CSB, gearshift knuckle, cambelt/waterpump, a wheel bearing, 25mm Master Cylinder and numerous new clips, etc.
Replaced the speakers and stereo, a few more things on the checklist but otherwise she's running well and loving her. Need to get the wheels straightened and then can start worrying about whether to 2.8/3L her or not...
I really love the blue leather!

Very nice! I'm curious as to ballpark you paid for that in the UK... Also are they easy\hard to find etc?

just over £4K, spent a few more...easy to find...as long as you're not worried about rust! Mine's a little rusty, but better than most.

Now just need a 2.8 or 3.0 M20...
