Coincidentally there are features on E30 Tourings with M3 power in both the latest issues of Performance BMW and Total BMW.

The other programme that's quite interesting sometimes is Wrecks to Riches. There seem to be two versions which alternate, both on rebuilding cars -- the US one looks at American muscle cars, while the UK one looks at crash damaged regular cars like a Honda Civic or Pug 106. In both instances, the guys rebuilding the cars need to sell them at the end of the episode -- usually via specialist auctions for the US version.

Last week they had a Pontiac GTO being built out of a Pontiac Le Mans.

It's a bit like American Hot Rod but with slightly less theatrics.

Yes, Barry White is also in hot rod build off. He has been around for years and years, quite famous.

Yes that was pretty cool.

A friend of mine said he saw Fifth Gear did a piece on the E36 as being a good used car buy sometime back. Apparently it was shown on Astro Channel78 Discovery Real Time recently. Anyone watched it?
