e30 BMW M3 Rally Race Video

December 20th, 2008

Check out this video I Just came across on Youtube:

This is just insane, I don’t know how these guys can rally the M3 like this. These cars are simply amazing - driving a rear wheel drive car at speeds like this on wet and gravel courses. Sort of reminds me of my own commute … except I don’t slide quite as much as this … and don’t really drive as fast as this … and I’m not this hardcore either.

E30 Warsteiner M3 Goes on Sale

December 15th, 2008

This awesome E30 Warsteiner M3 has gone up for sale.  The owner has dropped an S50B32 Engine into the Bay and done some extensive upgrades.  Clearly a decorated car, this M3 has a racing record a mile long.  I would love to have pulled the trigger on this thing but the timing just wasn’t right.  Perhaps next time.  Either way this is a wicked example of one of the meanest cars in history.  The e30 M3 was nothing short of a fighter.

e30 BMW M3 Hill Climb Video

December 12th, 2008

I came across this vid of an e30 BMW M3 doing a hill climb in Austria.  These guys have to be insane.  About halfway through he comes close to losing it too - I can’t imagine the stains left in his pants after that moment.  Enjoy the flick - I’m in love with these cars, I absolutely have to own one someday.  Make that two.  one to mod and race, the other to use as a collector.
