I really want to get out to one of the auto x events at this track next year, I think E30 should be pretty well suited for it. I believe @MPW3RLee was there as well.

I had my e30 there last year and it was a riot, to be fair its a blast in just about any car, adding elevation to an auto-x (like at RA and USAIR) is so much fun!

Same, it would be cool to know people there already when it is my first time!

I was there, and I did see the E36 out there, looked good! @SteelBlue yes you should make an event, the E30 would do great out there, I used to track/autoX my E30 and it handled like a dream! (Although I did upgraded suspension, Bilstein shocks, Eibach lowering springs, and ST sway bars) My E90 is cool and all but the E30 was so much more predictable and controllable.

You should definitely do that color interior for the wagon too!

There seems to almost always be a few of us at every event, I'd love to see more people get into it, you won't regret it!

Thanks! I wish I would've known that was you, I would've stopped by to say hello! I was working turn 1 for your heats, fun to watch, congrats on the class win!

Man, that would be awesome... They actually did a similar color called saddle brown that looks really nice, though it looks slightly lighter and less orange than Modena in some lights, haven't seen it in person to compare though. I'm loving the black for a daily driver, so easy to keep clean haha

Been doing more work on this to prep it for sale. Gave it a good clean on the exterior last night, just need to clean up the interior a bit, swap the stud conversion over to the wagon, and take some pictures for the ad. Hoping to have it posted by the end of the week, if anyone is interested feel free to send me a PM!

Price? Out of curiosity.

M3 prices seem to be all over the board, but I was planning on listing it at $7500 on Craigslist/Facebook, will probably list it a bit less on here if anyone is interested (obo of course). It's far from perfect but I was hoping the color combo and all the maintenance I've done would set it apart and add a bit of value. If anyone thinks that's high/low/etc. I'm definitely willing to hear some feedback, I'm probably losing quite a bit on it either way haha.

Throw me a message on FB when you are about to post the listing. I may be interested...

[m42b32]

Car is posted for sale, I'm going to regret this one...

Replacement in mind?

Yup! Not as exciting, but suits my needs a little better. I'd keep them all if I could though!

Sold the car Saturday morning, got what I wanted for it but definitely going to miss it. Currently don't have a functioning manual BMW to drive, so its time to buckle down and get the e30 done so I can start driving it as soon as the snow melts in the spring!

What happened to the wagon?

Nothing thankfully haha, I was commenting on the fact that I no longer have a BMW with a manual transmission to drive (at the moment) since the wagon is auto. Hopefully withdrawal doesn't set in too quickly...
