If my count is correct, it was over 10 years ago that I sold my previous e30 to @visian , so it was time to pick up another.
It’s a 1987 325i 5 speed in schwarz over cardinal. My friend’s parents owned it for the last 10 years but only put 3,000 miles on it during that time, and it’s been stored out of the elements.
We’ll see if this gets a thread or not. I’m not planning on going crazy with this car. This will be the simple, carefree summer cruiser to serve as a counterpart to the angry, money pit Volvo.
Congrats @thefullbanana just saw this! Enjoy the vert

Question, this may be a silly question to ask in a BMW forum, but y’all are smart and know people. I’m looking for a SAAB fanatic for a friend who has an 87 900 turbo (awesome) in need of some TLC. Anyone out there know of someone who is a SAAB expert? It’s a little niche, I know.
He want to sell it?

I actually do know a guy. Can you send me info.

SAABcentral.com is a pretty useful forum that has a lot of 900 content! I had a '91 900 for a bit a few years back (not in this area unfortunately so I don't know of anyone local), I miss looking at and driving that car but I really don't really miss the endless hunting for parts...

Love it! What locality was it? We are actually in the Chicago area and don’t mind a bit of a trip for the right expert. I’ll check out SAAB central too, thanks for the tip!

Out in PA near Lancaster, I can't remember the shop exactly but it was recommended by a friend out there, would be quite the drive! I never had anything done by them so I can't comment on that part, just called them looking for parts and they seemed very knowledgeable.

Took almost 2 years, but I finally filled a McMaster bag with McMaster bags.
I got into the electrical engineering department at work a couple weeks ago. Not sure if I can start calling myself an engineer just yet, but I'm on the right path. I'll still be doing fixtures and ordering more stuff from McMaster, but probably not at the same rate that I have been for the past few years.

well it has finally set in that my 335 is gone and the 528 is just not doing it for me. Now to decide on a "project car" or a new daily that is a little more fun
Spoiler alert: nothing ever fully itches the scratch. The N54/N55 torque delivery can ruin your expectations for anything that isnt a V8/turbo 6. I say LS swap an E36.

I would like to respectfully disagree and say that torque is overrated. S65 FTW.

S65 is the exception. S85 not so much in my book because there isn't much in the mid range.
Kinda related, FB memory from driving the first F10 M5 Concours got in. Fun part and what I'll never understand is the M5 didn't have a valet mode on like the E92 335is did. Sure was fun experiencng 500ft/lbs of torque right out of the gate

I love the F10 M5. I wish that engine was more reliable or at least less expensive to repair.

Manual F10 M5 would be a great daily driver. So rare though.
I can't remember even driving one. I know I drove a customer's manual 550i and sold 2 535i M-Sports but that was it. Would be curious on the production numbers. The media made a huge deal about the manual F10 M5 when it came out.

M Registry says 577 manuals were made. After driving an f10 non-M I don't know that I'd want one in an f10 M5 in a manual. It's such a big car that I don't know I'd enjoy it.

Just added the i8 to the lego car collection.

Well that's awesome. How much was that display?
