I hate that clip. It’s the bane of my existence and every time it becomes relevant in my life I ask myself why I even own a BMW. Source: E30 owner, been through several E36s, etc.

Is there an easy to find 12v starter that will fit? With some decent fabbing any alternator could be made to fit...

That got a pretty good laugh.

S52 E30 ftw! I love mine!

Millennial checking in: 10/10 would buy and hoon/daily it into the ground if it was on my coast.

How does the initial financing work? Are you paying cash, have a rolling loan, have a loan for one car and pay it off once you sell it, etc? I’m really interested in doing this but am not sure of the logistics
