Hahaha chill guys.
First of id like to thank everyone for the nice complements. Concerning if it would be built with dirty money well i have no idea about that but Paul is a truly nice guy and helped me out alot so im having a hard time beliving that.
Regarding me selling my precious M3E30 there are some good reasons for it:
- Yes the car is a historic masterpiece and the moste succesful racing(dtm) car ever
built. Thats why i really can't see myself cutting her open.
- If you do a transplant on a m3e30 over here to lets say a S50 engine the loose plenty of their value. It's not like over in the states, they have more of a collectors value here and once that is gone.. well then your left with a really overpriced e30.
- I wanted to have a bit more punch in my car and one i wouldnt start crying blood over if i bend it a bit on a track.
Yes the M3e30 is a lovely car in the aspect of design, history and the way it handles and for a long time its been up there but to say its still one of the best handling cars.. Thats stretching it a bit in my eyes. I know all the magazines and many of the forums try to convince us of that but the fact is I've driven more then 12 diffrent M3e30's. Everything from stock to a pure racingcar made for the ring and sure the racingcars were amazing but so would more or less any other beemer be with the right amount of money spent on it. Don't forget, i own one myself and it got some serious dope spent on its handling and still the first thing my crazy turboloving people said when they tried my new car was - I can't belive how stiff it is and how well it handles.
However, there are plenty of things to do on the interior, I will sell the wheels and buy some nice 18". I want some moe camber in the back, the carbonfibre is getting painted, the cage aswell and the enginebay. The interior will be stripped out and retrimmed in alcantra hopefully etc etc
