    Welcome to the forum ;)

    I went with Ryan... because its my name on Bimmerfest, R3V, E30tech, Ducati.ms, and a couple other forums. Figured it'd be easier to just stick with what I got lol

        Thank you, sir.

        Never thought I'd own an e36, after my e30.

        But this cheap was too hard to pass up.

            Two weeks of ownership

            Total $$ spent: $1380.68

            Went out to the local junkyard, and was completely floored to find a 1996 M3 in Cosmos at the lot. (with engine and drivetrain!)

            Unfortunately someone got a hold of the front set of Vaders! Rear seats still there, just don't match my tan interior!

            So I ended up pulling the power mirrors, clear tails, side skirts, and moldings off the car and purchased for $80 + tax.

            Wish I had been able to get the trunk spoiler off the trunk, but someone prior to me stripped it out...

            If anyone has a spare jack hole cover for the one side skirt, it was missing...

            Spent a little while this afternoon to put my new toys on the car.

            Here's the result, nothing special, but I do like the overall appearance much more now.

              Where's this at? Any idea what they'd want for the engine? Miles?

                  If you can find any s50 cams I would absolutely love your face......

                  For real.

                  And I pay cash money!!!

                  My m50 needs to go faster! Have not even driven it yet, but it must be faster!

                  I get to drive the m50 swapped car today :)

                  I am making a new line for everything.

                  Kind of annoying.

                  I need a new sig, one with an m50 in the e30....

                  My build thread is lacking, I should fix that.

                  End of annoying line thing.

                  ...

                    What did you use for drilling holes for the clips on the skirts? If you have a drilling jig id love to borrow it.

                      3M automotive double-sided adhesive.

                      Honestly, I'm absolutely amazed how rock solid it is on.

                        Actually I used 3M automotive double-sided tape.

                        I honestly can not believe how rock solid they are on there.

                              Between my fiance and I we have 4 cars.

                              Thought I could sell off two of them, and potentially get/build a motorcycle for summers.

                              Plus, I've never really liked e36's... haha. I'm an e30 fella myself.

                                ^^ Good man, motorcycles are something that can potentially bring much more happiness than cars, especially if you aren't in love with the car.

                                  I can see it being a much more rewarding, fun process.

                                  Reminds me of the old days taking apart, and fabbing things up for my BMX bikes.

                                  Hoping to find, or build a bobber.

                                    There are tons of cheap older bikes that'd be perfect for either a bobber or cafe project.

                                      Agreed.

                                      Trying to find a nice condition XS650, and just buy the hardtail from TC Bros. and weld it all up.
