You guys are all getting old, buying houses and such. For years I've envied your ability to pack-up and move anywhere, not being tied down, now you're all domesticated and stuff.
Who will I live vicariously through??
we all like to work on cars. it pretty much precludes us from a nomad lifestyle. tools, parts, and non-running e30s is a lot of stuff to move around.

Phew, glad there are still some of you not settled down!!
For sure!
I got back from a week in Whistler, BC and 6 work days later I'm heading to Colorado, I hope this meets what you are looking for!I am certainly accepting sponsorship for this lifestyle in case you were looking.

After nearly two years of casually (and not very seriously) searching for and talking about a newer and more practical daily driver, I stumbled across a well cared for car with the right options and colors for a decent price (and a few extra goodies!). I reached an agreement with the seller following a detailed PPI and locked it down as mine. Don't worry, it's a BMW. I'll be flying to New Mexico to pick it up on the 10th and drive it home!

my guess is an alpine wagon, manual trans. i only guess that, because that's what i'd get, and we have near identical taste.

You right that it's a wagon! We definitely have nearly identical taste because if I could pick my exact ideal wagon (edit: that isn't pre 2000 where everything is better, because we all know an e30 touring is the best touring), it would be an alpine LCI E91 6-speed. I'll leave all the details as a sort of surprise for after I pick it up. Believe it or not, it's an auto, but it checked nearly every other box for what I was looking for and is my other favorite color that they came in. Of course I really wanted a manual, but they're rare as hens teeth and command a very hefty premium for anything that isn't beat or beige...

No this is on the rusty e420. I bought it for the s55 but that's for next year.

I'm out in Estes Park Colorado for my brother in laws wedding and a couple of us went for a canyon drive this morning through Devils Guch rd. It was the most intense drive i've taken on a public road with a total elevation change around 900ft. There were a set of STEEP downhill hairpin's that scared the shit out of me that had the largest drop during the whole drive. The 550i I have out here did OK but the brakes were easily over taken by the size of this thing. The sport auto is not made for sporty driving like this and manual mode would be made better if I could actually hear the exhaust instead of having to watch the tach to shift. It was a ton of fun and i'd love to get the M on a road like this!

That reminds me of when I lived in Grand Junction, CO back in the late 80's. Had a blast driving my Dad's Honda Prelude with 4-wheel steering through the Colorado National Monument park, which was basically my back yard. Good times for a 16 year old novice driver! LOL Yes, those are cliffs, and a long long way down.
The people who built this road probably have nightmares to this day.
