WIBIMMERS

Hey everyone!

I actually joined the forum a few months ago as I met Brian. He directed me to your community here, but I never introduced myself. My name is Matt and I am new to the BMW forum as well as being new to BMW ownership. I bought my first Bimmer last August and she's a wimpy, but cute, little red '92 e30 318i vert. I'm a local to Milwaukee, born and raised, and I was looking for a place to get more involved in the auto industry. This seems like as good a place as any!

I also [used to] write articles and post them to my blog (hate that word) of industry news, features, etc. My website is downshiftmke.com if any of you are interested in checking it out. My latest work has been a more visual medium since no one likes to read these days. Admittedly, a lot of my initial work was garbage, but I'm happier with the way things are developing more recently. I recently filmed an F80 M3 which was a lot of fun, and this week I'm releasing a comparison video of that M3 going head-to-head with an Alfa Giulia QV which is my best work yet.

Here's the link to the M3 video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdCtiK8\_r0U

(I'll include a link to the comp video if you guys are interested)

Let me know if you think it's garbage or if it doesn't completely offend you! I'd always prefer the latter, but I'd like to improve my craft so any feedback is welcomed!

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! 

Matt

Welcome to here! Nice 318i, the m42 is a great engine in the e30 chassis and you can really have a lot of fun with it! Any plans with it or just enjoy as is?

Thanks! As of now, nothing too major. Simple repairs getting myself acclimated to the mechanics and anatomy of an engine, suspension, etc. Also it's hard to have too many plans when you're two years out of school and still mildly impoverished haha. Ultimately I'd love to do an engine swap down the road, but that's still an intimidating notion as this is my first Bimmer and I have much to learn.
