Yes sir. I was originally thinking about the s62 v8 but I kind of want to keep it in the 6 cylinder family since that's what originally in it. I'm just picturing a s54 with a CF air box in that engine bay, would be so bad ass. 

Ohhhh. I think a v8 in one of these heavy machines would be perfect. That's what I keep telling myself if I fail get this M30 running.

you had a kid and your dad buys you a classic car?! your dad's priorities are hilarious and awesome.

Haha yah it's funny. He has a pretty nice collection of cars he's a huge enthusiast. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be so into cars, and would probably be better off financially lol.

Yah that was something I heard. I didn't buy the car personally, I've been looking for a clean one for a few years and my dad surprised me with this as a gift when me and my wife had our daughter. I guess it'll be her first car one day lol

Yes. Story was they bought it off a customer who was looking to sell it. Not sure when that happened. I worked there from late 2011 to late 2013.

Looks great=) Euro bumpers wouldn't hurt=P

Thank you. Not a fan of the euro bumpers on the e24. The diving boards fit this car better than for example a e30.

This thing is beautiful. What's the ballpark price on something like this? I have no idea what the market is like...

The prices are all over the place. I've been offered around 20 for mine, but I wouldn't sell it.  You can get a clean one for 10 grand. Something that needs work less.

i just noticed the chrome mirrors, was that a factory option?

Yes it was. The later ones had body colored mirrors.

All the leaks must've cleared up then which is good. The car got driven once a year by the owner of Concours and he'd complain about the oil and other fluid leaks on the floor haha. 

When I got the car I did a little refresher just in case. Belts plugs fluids and a few gaskets. I didn't know how old or when anytbing was changed. So I wasn't aware of any leaks anyways. Looked bone dry underneath.

Good power, everything on the car works perfectly as it should.  Zero issues.

Great condition all around!

How is it to drive?

Honestly like a brand new car, very smooth. No wierd noises or clunks. Good power, everything on the car works perfectly as it should.  Zero issues.
