White Lightning - E30 M3

Recommended Posts

Having run the risk of being banned from this site if I don't publish photos of my newest acquisition, here we go, the pictures of my car.

I have had an eclectic background with BMWs. My first was an e30 316i which now features stripped out on the e30 race circuit. Years later I got myself into a tidy little e36 318is. In 2006 I bought a stunning M323i now being lovingly cared for my Nick. Last year was the year of the e36 M3 but it was sold after it developed a seemingly irreconcilable engine misfire!?!

So I crossed to the dark side and bought an Audi S3. What a car! And the missus loved it! Was that telling me something? Well, I couldn't drive a gay man's car now could I? Especially after I kept explaining to people, "It's not citrus, it's not baby yellow, it's IMOLLA!"

My dream car had been and always has been an E30 M3.

I sold the Audi and set out to import one from Japan. I soon came to sobering realisation that E30 M3s not only are hard to find anywhere, they are even more difficult to find in good condition - not being riddled with rust and not having been molested by brainless japanese men with big wallets and no sense.

Fortunately a good keen man had done the work for me in Christchurch. A little more than I had hoped spending, but there it was, registered and origional with 37,000kms on the clock.

After taking allot of advice from M3 owners (Ollie, Willie and Laurence - you guys are legends) I flew down and brought what was rightfully mine home.

Yes, we have had teething problems as you'd expect from a car that has pretty much been in storeage since 1990 but she's running like a top and it is due time I share it with everyone here.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the next event!

Awesome car, am extremely jealous, hope to own one in this exact color one day.

Thanks for posting pics.

That's awesome. Gold centres on the LM's and a Evo lip would make it even more awesome. (not that any more awesome is necessary).

I didn't actually take photos of the interior or engine bay. I have some other great pictures of Ollie's silver M3. I still need to groom the engine bay, it's a little grubby. Ill give you a yell when it's up to standard.
