I knew Boyd meant the scotish parliament.

Anyway there's no money left in politics in Scotland as they have spent it all on the new building, only some £350m over budget!!!

That sounds like Red Ken! He spends thousands on an eyesore next to the Thames, so he can sit back and watch the havoc he creates!!!

Anyway back to the topic....December 2001 Total BMW had an article on these, along with a 2.3 and a Sport Evo. It mentions the M-Tech bodykit and the M-Sport suspension but nothing about the steering. It does mention "German Cars".

320is
Power = 192bhp @ 6900rpm
torque = 155 lb ft @ 4000rpm
0-60 = 7.9sec
Max speed = 143 mph

That's quite a performance difference!

On my Pug forum at the moment there is a guy claiming his 'mate' just blew up his E30 M3 (which type i dont know) racing at 160..... hmmm.... ok then.

German Cars in Norfolk seem to be the only company who deal with them in the UK. Try giving them a call.

They reckon £3k for a fairly good one and £5-6k for a mint example. Remember they will have all come from Italy and Portugal, so there should be no rust. I fancied one as my daily but the other half does not fancy the LHD cars.

Good luck trying to find one.

I am a little concerned about how i will find a LHD car, but i dont really go anywhere where i need to pay at a window and i dont do over taking much. Good excuse for some continental trips anyway

Matt

U'll get used to it. I can jump from my M3, LHD, to my auto MB and into my girls mx-5 6 speed without thinking now. Three different gearboxes and 2 different seats.

Go for IT!!!
