does anybody have some fiberglass or carbon doors?hood?lid?fenders? or other stuff on his car? if so, what brands do you have?
has somebody a rollcage welded in his 318is? pics?
what steel quality is used to build a rollcage?

Well the quality, I don't know yet, but as soon as they get to Bulgaria I'll let you know. As for prices:
1 x M3 E30 front hood (80 euro) 80
1 x M3 E30 front fenders (left,right) (130 euro) 130
1 x E30 back (70 euro) 70
something like that!
You could write them an e-mail, they should speak English I guess!

The blue one is mine, the red one belongs to my friend:

I can take some more pictures of the blue one if you want.

Both the rollcages are made according to Appendix J of FIA regulations, which means the material is a cold drawn, seamless, unalloyed carbon steel (max. 0,3% of carbon)



what about the suspension? wheels? fiberglass parts?

Suspension depends on the setup.
Mine is fitted with Bilstein B8 shocks and H&R springs at it's going to stay so for some time. I think at the moment the red one has Bilstein B6 and springs from e30 325 for gravel rallies. For tarmac he also uses H&R springs and different shocks I suppose.
We use various wheels depending on the occasion, mostly stock bmw/bbs 14'' and 15''. No fibreglass parts planned so far. I'm not even sure if the technical requirements allow that.

the 5 points of the car

NR1: turbo m42b18 engine as close to the s42 as possible!
NR2: M3E30 DTM suspension setup front and rear
NR3: full rollcage
NR4: bodywork e21 group 5 '80 style
NR5: bbs rims single nut

what do you think about this setup?

more or less like the picture below...
