As requested by our subscribers, here is a full price breakdown of what it is like to restore an e30 in South Africa.
This is my experience building the Sangoma E30, knowing nothing about restoring these cars I have come a long way and learnt a lot of hard lessons. Don't fall victim to same scams as I have.
My experience may be different to others, this is purely from my point of view.
If you need any assistance with your builds please contact us.
If I have missed any costs please let me know in the comments.
We are looking for sponsorships/ marketing opportunities. If you are in the automotive industry and would like to get your brand out there lets get in contact!
Massive thank you to our Videographer @telan.george from @_driven.culture_
Peace Out Suspects!

  • A fully restored 325i 4 door in this brilliant condition goes for like 300K so I'm not surprised when the paint job is 19K, everything is done proper not cutting corners on this classics
