Exit one 91, enter another 91...

Lets see it!!!!!!!!!!

Is the buyer of your M3 local? rather, will you be seeing your old car driving around the area, causing you anguish and suffering?

[straight6pwr]

mmm 318is. great color too.

whos is the white e30 in the window reflection with the spoiler?

[M20_fever]

M42 is a great engine if properly maintained, congrats.

[alexw]

The white e30 is mine as well, a 325ix.... In a little bit rougher shape.

[mystere30]

oh alex..you always know how to excite me

[ten2doyle102]

The m42 in mine seems to be holding together ok and it seeing a beating.... ALL the time. Never really misses a beat.

You'll love that thing!

[alexw]

Took it to St Louis today (and still there now...).

Averaged 30mpg, only "issue" was the iS front lip began to flap on one side. Popped it off and put it in the trunk.

It's a great car. I'll be posting a lot more soon.

As for the M3, it was sold to a enthusiast somewhere near Minneapolis, but in Wisconsin. He's a BMWCCA member, I may run into him again, but I doubt it. The previous owner of the 318is is local to Milwaukee and is active in Badger Bimmers, he's messaged me like 3 times jokingly (maybe?) asking for the 318is back!

Cool guys, it was a very pleasant experience. The BMWCCA community seems to be great. I plan on being much more active now!

So have decided what route you're gonna go with this car re: motor swap, coils, etc?

[rampelsauce]

S50 twin turbo swap. I think that was what he was looking for. Meth injection with like 40lb injectors and a fuel pump out of a 747. .5 miles to the gallon. Right alex?

[industrialsized]

hopefully an s38, m62 or f01 swap

[alexw]

Immediate plans are to address the few issues, which I'll list in a project thread....

Plans are for a OEM plus type build. Clean, lightly modified m42, mostly suspension work. Plan is to use it for auto-x and rock the gas sipping M42 for a while. There are long term ideas, but I'll leave it alone for a bit.

I have other priorities first though.... Obviously, as I sold the M3...

[mystere30]

oooooooo come autox alex!! i've heard e30s are a blast to race from a couple of people.

...but not quite as fun as the miata... hehe

[alexw]

I can't drive a miata, they're ugly, and look homosexual... Which is fine, if you're into that thing...

[mystere30]

ouch....even if its a classy track rat with a $1200 suspension??

[alexw]

I just prefer e30's....

I respect miatas for what they are, but I would never daily one. And that's what I'm looking for, daily driven, prepared for casual auto-x.

[straight6pwr]

konis, h&r race, 225 tires, done!

[alexw]

Well the car just was in a hail storm in St Louis.... Baseball sized hail.

Looks like a few small dings nothing crazy. Will report back.

[industrialsized]

that sucks I think TJ knows a pdr guy also in reference to miata who has less than 1200 intpo there suspension

[Earl]

^ I has less in my suspension:) and I had my dents removed and the man did a splendid job;)
