    I refinished about 700 square feet of oak flooring in our old house, it was a lot of work but it turned out good.  The orbital sanders are too slow so just giver with a drum sander.

      Some people just don't have time to do everything themselves even though it means saving money.

                            Good catch, I looked at the shredding action and not at the remainder of the car lol.  They called it a 91 so my mind did not even consider someone to be subpar at identifying something so obvious.  Fake news...

                              yeah, they said 1991 so thats fair game for either

                              That makes me wonder. Did Canadia get the US E36 M3 or the Euro E36 M3?

                                I think 1994 in Canada was euro spec s50 but only 50 or so, read that along the journey years ago. Rest was the same junk as the us
