If so, I can't wait to see what they are because based on what I have seen, they are gong to be epic!!!
Thank you my friend. I usually like to keep them as oem as possible, usually only improve on areas they need Mostly handling improvements (suspension, brakes, wheels etc.) I am eyeing a V10 for the near future as I think they are the last members of a dying breed (NA) and a Z8 is always a bucket list car too. We'll see.

Class, quality pics and cars. Old school, I like that.

Respect.
I only took the outdoor shots of the CSL. The one at the beach and near the lake with the mountains. The rest of the shots are from good friends. Indoor trio shots are by Mert Gündoğdu ( www.mertgundogdu.com ) and E30 M3 outdoor and solo shots are by Alp Emre Göksel ( www.alpemregoksel.com )

Sure, its a '04 CSL with 65K miles. Its got KW CS coilovers, AP Racing BBK, JIC TI Exhaust and the rest is pretty much stock. I drive it as much as I can, no cars of mine are garage queens. I think the worst damage you can give your is by not driving it. CSL has seen the Nurburgring and Istanbul Park F1 Circuit regularly. Love it to bits.

It's a dream to every BMW Fan, keep up the good work and I hope your beloved E30 will stay all the way with you!

Maybe I will see the car next time, no way I can miss a Henna Red E30 in Istanbul
Thank you my friend. I love living in Istanbul where I can have total freedom to push them as the whole city becomes my playground in the early mornings. Please let me know if you come again, we can go for a ride

Thank you for posting your story. It is truly inspirational to see these car preserved, and most importantly, driven. Last night my wife and I were having a discussion about "car guys". Her opinion is that we are always looking for the "next car", and are never satisfied with what we have. There's some truth to that, but I have to say that I love my E92 M3 ZCP and will be hard pressed to ever sell it. This is why I can identify with your story, as I seldom look at the newer BMW's anymore. I admire the older cars, especially the M's. While they don't have the power of today's M's they are "The Ultimate Driving Machines". It's not all about power, it's about drivability, and the pure aesthetic of the cars in your collection is undeniable. The E30 M3, over 25 years old, still turns heads, and if I were able to swing it, would be my "next" car. Thank you again for sharing!

Great collection! Great shots!

Can, ayrıca Türkçe olarak başarılarını tebrik ediyorum, küçümsenecek bir şey degil. Özellikle Türkiye'de böyle koleksiyonlar bulmak ve yapmak çok zor. Adam akıllı bir restorasyondan anlayan adam bulamazsın zaten Bende de 2006 Z4 2.5 vardı imzadaki araçlardan önce ve çok mutluydum, efsane araba. Sonra M3/4 Rüyam tekrar ağır basmaya başladı değiştirdim Garajı'na her baktığında bu aletleri görünce insan mutlu oluyor. Başarılarının Devamını dilerim.

Your cars are absolutely stunning. "Henna" has to be one of the nicest examples of E30 out there. The red paint definitely suits her!

This is not a collection.

This is a living love affair with three incredible machines.

The red E30 M3 is the coolest car I have seen in this forum - it looks the part, it is mechanically the part, and it lives the part. This E30 is a dream come true.

I have not read from any member so far such a clear story. And especially of cars that get driven so much. A collection typically would imply a garage queen kind of living. But going to the track in Germany with that E30 is just the most awesome aspect of this true enthusiast's experience with this E30.

OP, congratulations!!! You are inspirational to the rest of us.

Awesome collection. I'm starting to like the z3 M coupe more and more for its awesome awkwardness like the 1M.
