$125k? With a slushbox? Harumph...

Yes!!!

I got to go back an read the whole thing after my initial comment. Nice piece. The car is very well described.

So did the Merc or the Civic win??

The m20b27 is one of the best around-town (or city) engines they put in e30's. I miss mine as a daily. Plenty of torque to get over the fact the it doesn’t rev for shit. Just don’t bring it on the track I guess.. I hated my m20b25 (flame suit on) so I swapped it for an s52

Until you try and drive one. My s52 is plenty enough to crack the rear end out like a whip. I couldn’t imagine what’d be like with double the power and 4 more cylinders

Oh god... That hideous shooting brake 928... that I would totally own.

Yes! Vermont is my favorite place in the US (so far). If only I wasn’t serving a life sentence to NJ... They let me leave sometimes, though.

Whoa, non-saggy glove box! Willing to bet that interior looks a lot more beat in person, though.

I really wish this was in the NJ/NY/PA area. I’d take off work to see it.

I know, right??

My grandpa had a really nice one until about 6 years ago. He was in Florida for the winter and listed it at $3,000. I swear he only sold it because he was bored. Some guy in Indiana bought it sight unseen the day after he listed it. Drove down with a trailer within the next couple days and just like that, the car he…

But we did get the m10 318, which was horribly awesome. Slow but great at the same time. (flame suit on) the e30 m3 is not fast by any means. That wasn’t the point. Early swappers even put US-spec s50 and s52's in them to give them more sack (sacrilege). I’d like to think people aren’t doing that anymore but who…

I don’t know anything about Mazda engines and I’ll watch this later when I’m off work, but how did those cams not crack in that GIF? They remove all bolts from the cam bearing caps individually with no tool to keep pressure against the cams/valve-springs. Or at least the make-shift route of unbolting them a…

I vowed to get a dash cam after this past weekend on the NY Thruway.. There was so much traffic that people were speeding up the shoulder. A guy in an Audi ran up the shoulder next to me in the left lane and ran out of car-width shoulder space so he cut me off pretty violently. Really don’t know how he missed my…

My grandpa had one of these and it was really nice to drive. So planted to the road and smooth. Pretty slow, though. Compared to all the hype, anyway.

Mmmmm s62 e30.

Fuck it, Dude. Let’s go bowling.

“but nobody’s created an E30 V8 that really felt like it could have come out of the BMW factory”

I miss the diners and I haven’t been to one since.. hmm.. I think Sunday? haha
