Update:
Though I don't have cool videos like some other people here do, I raced an e36 M3 on the highway yesterday evening. I rolled up on him and noticed it was quite clean, lowered, nice wheels and collector plate on the back. He didn't notice me until I downshifted to go around a truck after I realized I was in the wrong lane. I noticed he quickly swept a couple of lanes of traffic and was right behind me. Obviously being the responsible citizen that I am I matted the gas and we went up to about 130, where I just kept inching further away from him. He had his windows up, I didn't, so I'm sure that was a big factor
I found a lot of round-abouts and also probably annoyed a lot of people in the process.
This thing is fun to drive, but boost again will be even more fun! -
where's the part with you bouncing over the roots in the mud?
that shit was hilarious 
Even if you did have cool videos you wouldn't post them...

I will be bringing the E back into the shop today/tomorrow and getting back to work on it.
Things to repair:
Oil Pan replacement
Rear Brake (parking brake grenaded?)
New rear brake lines (through the cabin/trans tunnel)
Re-Work the skid plateI am going to be putting e46 control arms on the front of it, which will increase the track width more, and I currently barely clear the fender flares, so I will be widening the fenders for it. I look forward to seeing how that turns out, and deciding on how I truly want to go about it.
That being said, I could use a spare fender (DS) as the fender flare was pulled in an odd manor that may not clean up well.

E46 (aluminum) control arms scare me for offroad type stuff
I agree with you, especially considering I will probably use the cheapest ones I can find.
I think I saw some that were steel that may be better suited. -
I got an alignment on the E30, so that's a thing I guess?
I also swapped the cluster gears so I can see how much I don't actually drive it and use that as motivation to drive it more.
Front toe was set with a tiny bit of toe out, I like the way that feels thus far! -
Ha, no alignment on that yet.
I need to investigate the extent of that "crack" -
After getting my car aligned it was a night and day difference!
-
Alignment numbers came back pretty good, though I think I may have bent a control arm a touch. The caster from side to side had about a .75 degree difference. Not too big of a deal.
Car was set with .01 degree toe out, and it is interesting for sure!
Rear camber came in at about 2.5 degrees, so I may be doing subframe riser bushings this winter to get a bit more tire on the ground. This will be especially necessary if I run wider tires. -
I did a thing the other day. Proof.

I witnessed it. It was awesome.
