E30 m3

Hi,

From another Forum, some really good
pics of the BMW E36 320 ST.

The rear suspension is a work of art.

Some of the works E46 M3 GTR Cars run
an almost identical rear set up.

Hi,

After 2 engine re-builds nearly there
now, hopefully.

Just hope its all worth the effort.

Could be good fun on Track if
it all works as it should.

Hi,

A Colleague down in Auckland NZ,
Conrad Timms has just completed
this remarkable project.

He purchased the Bigazzi MS Shell in a
well used condition, and then painstakingly rebuilt
it back to its original glory using all Genuine
MS parts wherever possible.

The Engine was originally built by Frank Gardner
Motorsport in OZ, in the lates 80's using all directly supplied
MS parts and was used in the B&H DTM car as
raced by Tony Longhurst.

Engine makes 360 BHP and will rev to 9500 +.

I was going to use this engine in my E30 M3 but
used a CSL lump instead.
Its good to see Conrad using it for
what is was intended to be used for after
investing in a major rebuild.

The Car is on Par with the BMW Museum E30 M3
in not only its attention to detail but the fact that
it still does with aplomb what is was originally
built for.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Excellent build and as you said it's good that he is racing it

By the way, I love the way BMW inline 6 engines perform... especially when they have 6 TBs

Hi,

Just hope they go as well as they sound
this coming weekend.

Testing times suggest that Merc and Audi
are in front.

Not sure if I prefer the E46 GTR V8, or the
E92 V8's now.

Hi,

Interesting insight to the 2012
DTM Cars this year, in that they
are all running with the Carbon
Saftey Pods etc.

That got me thinking I'd go and have a look when they come to Brands.... but then I realised I'm away on business that week, dammit !

Is that what I think it is in the back ground?
