Hi

Glad you could make it at last Peet, I have been following your thread on Z3MCoupe site with interest looks like it will turn out to be a great car the welding on the boot floor certainly looks as though it will withstand some abuse in the future. :wink:

Welcome to the Forum

Nice pair of projects, how does the E30 perform with the S50 ?

Haha thanks these are just the cars I have a few other projects / toys aswell

The E30 is fast and is great on the motorway but in my opinion its took the fun out of the car, I find I am always on edge driving it on and it seemed to be better balanced with the 2.5 in it. Once the coupe is sorted the M3 lump is coming out and its getting the 2.5 put back in (something else to keep me busy).
