<![CDATA[What to do with a P.O.S. e34?]]>So...

I've got this beast sitting in storage right now:

I originally bought it to use as a winter beater because it was RWD and a manual. Ended up daily-driving it for far longer than intended. Mechanically, it's a pretty solid car. Suspension is fresh. Drivetrain seems solid. Needs a CSB, ECU, and has a rotor that is starting to get warped. 290k+ miles. Other than that, it runs and drives just fine.

Despite it's age and all the faults that come with it, I've actually become somewhat fond of it, and I'm having a hard time just getting rid of it. Especially, since it's monetary value is pretty insignificant (basically a oilpan, pickup and dipstick tube with car attached...). I've had two people threaten to buy it to use as a drift car, but so far no one has put any money in my hand.

Sooo.... What the hell should I do with this thing? It's had 3 WIBimmers owners so far. Seems like a shame to just sell it/part it out/scrap it, but it's not worth much more than that financially. Open to suggestions/looking for ideas here...

It is definitely something nice to keep around if you need to work on the compact and have it down at all

Thanks Chris!

Maybe we need to put together a WIBimmers convoy for the Gambler 500. Paging @GunMetalGrey. If an e39 can do it, it should be a walk in the park for an e34...

I would love to see the D make it out there, but I would GLADLY copilot the e34 to its impending death....
Just gotta make a skid to save the pan!

Feel free to come pull a rotor or any parts off my black car too. 

Personally I’d just run it until something major breaks. You can pick up a another perfect e34 down south for $2k or less.
