In my opinion one of the best cars BMW have ever made.

Just had a scan around on ebay for "Buy it Now" motors under £999 & came across these...

The first two are a bit far for me (Scotland) but may be of interest to others...

This ones a bit closer to home but its an auto...

& you'll have to be really quick to get this one...

Wonder if this'll stay under budget? :think:

A bit of lightening and tweak the boost just to be absolutely sure of taking the win :wink:

a v12 e30 is a pain in the bum hole, we looked at it at fritz bits once and it just worked out a whole load of effort for not much more gain than what a v8 offered

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
