I took some pictures through the window of that turbo e24 at 608. I can say that the paint is less than impressive from even that far away. 😕

Ryan... got a reaction from suspenceful in Badger Bimmers Annual E30 Picnic -June 8, 2019
The fiance and I made it out for a bit, met up with Jason and TJ, but apparently missed the rest of y'all (or didn't recognize you without your avatars floating above your heads).
Hopefully I'll own a BMW product by the next meet up!

Part of me wanted to leave it in the original package with all the part numbers and such and a larger part of me said fuck it he's a kid and wants his bear. I kind of want one...

when he is older and understands how cool that is, it will be even cooler because of how old it will be. Hope it stays intact!

Last weekend my son turned 4 and for his birthday my mom got him a BMW Motorsport Teddy Bear which I've never seen before. It's pretty cool!

After years of looking for a pair of these handles(without spending a fortune), I finally found some. I've never seen rears, just fronts.

Everything is finally settled, the fiance and I close on our house 6-17-19!
Only drawback is the 2 car garage, so I need to figure out if it's cost effective (and if there's enough room) to add a 3rd garage spot, or just go with a parking pad next to the garage for my DD.

Ryan... reacted to dastuz in 2002 E46 M3 For Sale (Slicktop - Trackday Car) 90K Miles - $17,700
*For those more active members, this is the known as the loudest E46 M3 around
For sale is my 2002 BMW M3 (E46). This is a slicktop model (no sunroof). I have been unable to find reliable data about the rarity of slicktop models, but anecdotaly they appear to be quite rare. The motor has stock internals (minus the prior owner having the bearing recall done). It has 90,000 original miles on the car. The oil is changed every 1,000 miles with Redline's 10W 60 Oil. Transmission and differential both have Redline's own brand of high temp fluids. The car is definitely loud both in sound and appearance. The low stance, big tires, racing seats, and dark rims get looks and comments wherever it goes. I have roughly $30,000 into the vehicle (not including the purchase price – see below). I have built the car to almost track day specifications. A cage or harness bar would be the final piece of that build.
Engine -The car runs strong and has no engine issues. The catless header does cause O2 codes – see exhaust section below
Body - the body is in fair condition - the car is not a show car it has some minor scratches/nicks. Kidney grill and side vents were swapped from chrome to black
Interior – the interior of the car is the part of the build I did not finish. I gutted the car for track day usage. The speakers, amplifier, radio, etc. have all been removed. I did not delete any of the wires in the harness, so someone could reconnect or remove those unused wires. My car suffered from the E46 painted trim issues. It bubbled and cracked. I got a coverup kit for it, but I would recommend buying the new trim pieces. I still have much of the interior in storage – Stock seats, OEM rims and tires, intake, etc. if someone wishes to go back to a full interior. The largest item that would need to be purchased would be the carpet.
Handling -The car drives very well. The suspension and set up makes the car handle very well. Please note that the suspension, bushings, seat, and tires mean that the ride is more track oriented. The car is very stiff!
History / Full Disclosure
The vehicle suffered a crash at Blackhawk Farms a few years ago. After this crash I had the driver side front fender touched up, the hood touched up, bought a new front bumper with new bumper shocks, had a new OEM trunk installed, had the passenger rear quarter panel and tail light pocket completely rebuilt, and bought a new rear bumper and bumper bar. When I had the front of the car apart I upgraded the radiator, the water pump, thermostat, and oil cooler. I took the vehicle to International Autos for a complete scan on their body scan system to confirm that the “safety box” of the vehicle was unchanged and square. It was confirmed that it was square and fully intact. All of the body work was performed by a professional. There is no record of the accident on the vehicle history report (carfax) as the incident was not reported to the officials (accident was on a racetrack not on a roadway)

Congrats! I'll tell you as I've told my other buddies before they got married, it's not that bad. Now for the cynical side of me, get that house in both of your names and get the car in your name!
I'll be waiting for my wedding invite.
