A friend says he saw a show on [he thinks C4] Wednesday night about E30 M3's, about a couple of guys going to Germany to buy one etc. I was out all Wednesday and missed it - I couldn't believe it when he told me! Did anyone see this program or know what channel it was on as I checked the TV Guide for wed (and the rest of the week) but there was no Motoring programs on C4??? Maybe it was on Men&Motors? Is anyone aware of this prgram? |

Didn't see It, but it sounds like a repeat of a show on Men and Motors. Two guys buy and sell cars (can't think of the name),they went to Germany and bought a red M3, brought it back to the U.K, got all the paperwork sorted and sold it on ------------- Mark E30 M3 RHD!!! now sold !!! still crying!!!!

I haven't seen it for a while but if it is the one I'm thinking of it is Mike Brewer and some chaps who's name escapes me....
I think the show is "Deals on Wheels" They were based under the railways arches or in a London Mews Garage. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

The show with the M3 was in new premises, but it was Kevin Bird with Brewer when they looked at the car in germany. I was told that there was something odd about it not beingthe same car?
the guy that bought the car with 80k miles paid £12k for it and Brewer paid £10k I saw another program the otherday, think it was a home improvement on normal tv and spotted an E30 M3 in black and looked like an sport evo. It was in the shot for just a couple of seconds. ------------- Toby http://www.bmminiparts.com - New Genuine BMW & Mini OEM parts - www.bmminiparts.com 1987 E30 M3 with turbo being added |

That chap is Gavin Lowe and he was filming for a show about Better Driving Days/Track Days.
I have kept my eyes open for when it is being aired but haven't seem anything just. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

Will do Chris, if it every does get aired we are pretty sure a lot of us who were there will be in the background.
Just had a thought...  ...that could be why it hasn't aired
Dale is that you because if it is you have a twin in Gavin Lowe. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

The other chap is Richard Sutton. Obviously he has moved on to better things.....They seem to have a location that looks like a disused petrol station with loads of chequered flags. That was before they finished up in what looked like more custom premises. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

I'm pretty sure this is the series which had the E30 M3 as it is parked on their forecourt for the opening /closing shots. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |
