Back in the BMW game (Another E30 to add to the masses).

Oh your going to have a blast with that m42. Especially if you watch for vacumm leaks valve lash and keep here cool.
-
Thanks!
Yeah I'm kind of at a toss up on what I would like to do engine-wise going forward. The car is somewhere in the 200k region (odometer stopped working) but seems to be a solid runner. Shocks are in need of replacement so I figured I would just spend the coin and get the coilovers I want right away.

Do an M30B35 in that baby if you go the swap route. Reliable, tons of torque, sounds sexy as hell. I've seen a couple in the local pick n pull with fairly low mileage.
And welcome.

From what I've read, M30's are way too heavy for a e30. Clean car sir. Hope to meet you a GTG next summer.
-
Just watched a couple M30 swap vids and it definitely looks like the business. I'll be running the M42 until it gives up on me so a swap of any kind is probably a long ways out.
Thanks Andy. The car has its share of dings and dents along with sun fade but seems to be solid overall.

Definitely good to know, Snap. Looks like I've come to the right place!

Snap is a 12 valve fiend. His behavior is not to be tolerated. If he tries to give you any M20 propaganda report him to your nearest moderator.
If you see something, say something!

Damn! I may be the less loved twin of the family as yours looks to be in awesome shape! Black interior?
-
So far there are at least 3 mitch's here and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Nice car though! Maybe m42 turbo! Fun way to 250+ hp
lol that was my first thought, another Mitch from Oshkosh!
-
lol I had no idea! I'll have to think of another name to go by to separate myself.

It's a bit rusty underneath, and has over 200k on the clock. The interior is black and in pretty good shape considering the mileage.

my only nickname ever given was "turbo" so maybe that will help lol. Ill change my sig or something haha.
I wonder if that would make me "NA" by default. lol

Definitely looks good from the pic. I'll need paint if I want mine to be presentable

You'd be amazed what you can do with alittle time, a random orbital buffer, and some good buffing compounds. Most people never bother to put in the elbow grease but it's worth ever minute.
