I'm not sure how I feel about an e30 M with an s52 in it. Those m5 wheels need to go though.

Cone filter right on the MAF tells me steer clear, poor workmanship throughout...

I don't even care it's a rebuilt title! Alpine white and supercharged!

I die a little inside when i see good builds with small or cheap air filters.

Not even that it's a cheap filter or poorly placed, but the MAF needs a certain amount of smooth pipe in order to read accurately.  All about dat laminar flow!

I don't think this thing has a S52 in it. S52 oil caps are towards the front of the car.

Good catch!  According to Real OEM the S50 had the oil cap in the back.

^ obd1 is in the back, obd2 is at the front, but the valve covers from obd1 to obd2 are interchangeable.  Drleadfoot has an obd1 valvecover on his s52 because it is metal and could be powdercoated instead of the obd2 plastic ones.

Could one easily import an e36 touring, seeing as how the e36 chassis were sold here originally?

I figure a standard e36 wouldn't be too hard, but diesel, RHD, and a touring all combined.... sex

I would think it would be "easier" than something like a car that was never sold here with an engine we never had.  As long as it maintained the same crash specs and emissions then I think it would be fairly simple.

There it is!!! The mystery E30!! That guy looks like a Hispanic kid and I have driven next to him and he wont even look over, honk, wave, nothing, dead stare straight ahead. I dont think he is even into cars..(I think the "V6" confirms that).......So odd.

[patsbimmer1]

It has a monster logo over the plate... Must be a rally car.
