Very real. Only one lambo door, however. Just the drivers side. Also, this is the very same guy that put his car in a ditch on a casual cruise/gtg and crashed the next day while "rage drifting pretty hard."

I recognized that e46 m3 vert with the castrol sticker and couldn't remember where it was from, then I remembered!

Meant is how it is spelled, I fixed your spelling and grammar mistakes, and this is one of the most ignorant threads ever posted in WiBimmers history.

No .. it is not what any BMW was meant for... Stay the hell away from me if you are going to pull that bullshit on the street.

Id consider the move from a dubyarex to an MCS a smart one.
Both cars look to be in great shape!

You had me at hello! I might have to buy 3 of these damn things.

full on win http://bloomington.craigslist.org/pts/3908783004.html

Not exactly sure but a good way to approach it is this:
 
You:  Hello, I'm interested in that 02 Coupe over there
Salesdouche:  Oh, that black one?
Y: Yes, the Black coupe
S: Hmm, well, that is one of the nicest cars here.
Y: Why is that, I mean, I like it, but there are a lot of nice cars here.
S: True, however that one is a 6speed Manual and a coupe.
Y: Right, I know.  Anyway, I'm looking to trade in my 03 here
S. The Silver one.....it looks like there is something wrong with the top of the car, what is the deal?
Y: There is nothing wrong, see the top works fine.
S: Oh, it's a convertible.....yeah, see this 02 is a coupe.
Y: Yeah, I know
S: Ok, so you see it's superiority
Y: Um, whatever.......so....
S:  Woah!  Yours is an SMG?!?
Y: Yeah, but it shifts fi.....
S: I'm sure it does, but you realize this 02 is a 6 speed?
Y: Yes, I know....Listen, I'm interested in the 02, but I'd like to trade my 03.
S: You want me to just 'trade' you this Black 02 6 Speed coupe for your Silver 03 SMG convertible?   Just like that, like it's no big thing?
Y: Well, I know I'd probably have to throw in some cash on the deal, mine does have more miles
S: MORE MILES!?!  WTF are you trying to pull here?  First off, this 02 is Black, an obviously superior color.  I think all cars that aren't black do a disservice to all cars.  Second, this is a 6 Speed, y'know, like a real car, with a shifter and a clutch?  BMW's are the ultimate driving machine, not Kayaks, they aren't supposed to have paddles.  Finally, this car in a coupe.  That is REAL metal over your head, shit gets crazy your hair won't be the only thing between your skull and the pavement.  The ONLY thing you have going for you is that yours is an 03, which is technically newer, but I don't even really like 2003 in general, my wife left me that year...that bitch.
Y: OK, so.....is there a way we can work out a trade?  I get all your points, sorry about your wife, you are probably better off.
S: WHAT!?!  I loved her, she was the greatest woman on earth!  You litle piece of shit......listen, here is what I'm going to do.  I'm going to write a number on this peice of paper, that number is what you are going to have to pay me, on top of taking your 03 on trade, OK?
Y: Geez, sorry.......OK, but I might counter
S: There will be no counter, I write a number and that is what it will be, you don't like it?  Take your car somewhere else....
Y:  OK, OK, write the number.
 
And then you pay that.

I figured I'd start a progress/build thread for my e30 like I did for the e36!
 
I posted about the car before but for the sake of completeness: It's a 1991 318is slicktop in Alpine white with an Indigo cloth interior. It was built on April 26th, 1991 which I believe is the very end of production for the e30 coupe so thats pretty cool. It spent most of it's life in Florida so it is basically rust free but like most old southern cars a lot of the plastics are very faded and brittle. I am planning on doing an OEM+ build and just bringing it back to its former glory.
 
On to the pics!

 
I tried to get the color of the door panels but the camera didnt pick it up too well, I have never seen this color before but I think it looks pretty cool

 
After a nice cleaning

 
The seats have definitely seen better days (the rear seat is trashed) and the carpet is mostly torn out, other than that and a few other little things the interior is actually in pretty good shape. The dash is 99% crack free with only a tiny one in the tray above the glove box. I am planning on removing those white face gauge stickers (hard to see here) as soon as I can as they are impossible to see at night, hopefully they come off easily...

 
 
I originally thought it had the standard IS lip in the front as I never looked at it too closely but I highly doubt its OEM, does anyone know what kind of lip this is?? There are no markings and it appears to be made of fiberglass. I kinda like it actually, its subtle and a little different. 

 
In terms of mechanicals, the engine is in excellent shape with a recent head gasket and timing chain replacement as well as all the related hoses and gaskets, taking care of all of the m42's serious problems for the time being. Everything else is in good shape but the suspension is definitely tired and it rattles over bumps, especially from the rear.
 
On top of the normal new car maintenance where I plan on changing every fluid, The brakes suck and are past it so I have a full brake rebuild on the way with rotors, pads, sensors, and fluid for all four corners as well as a fan clutch (the temp climbs at stoplights), and a lower oil pan gasket as it leaks...a lot. The drivers side tie rod is shot so I have two new ones coming to fix that. 
 
Hopefully I can get all this stuff done in the next week and a half because I will be returning to school then and the car will be going into storage when I return in October. 
 

Ah you beat me to a badass toy=) I'm going to be building a drift tractor with a sport bike motor=P

Now my thread is ruined......

ur so dumb, u thought asphalt was a butt disease;. 

whatever color gray shows the most back sweat from intense rage drift sessions in my non-working AC e30.
 
 
oh, and we need "certified rage drifter" in cursive, somewhere on the back. off center, sort of tilted to one side, you know - to be edgy 
 
 
 
also, nice work Chris. in4black/gray

What time does this meet happen? Night time? Oscars sounds good highway 100 woooo races Hondas.

no

plus we could take over the art museum for a photo bomb!

theres nothing wrong with that. lets do this guys! i need something to do thats productive this weekend other than drinking beer and watching tv!

Thanks for the inspiring words, Brian. I'm afraid to ask what else you've done in a parking lot...
 
@Jawa, I'm looking for someone in the Madison area to help me with the job, not do it completely.

whats going on this weekend? grab a burger somewhere or something like that?

i like meat

Like all of my mods plans, they're more or less on hold probably until next spring, but I'm just gathering ideas. I'm just trying to save money because of other stuff going on in life right now, haha, so car mods were among the first things to be put on hold.
 
This is my list right now:
Shadowline trim Matte black kidney grille inserts (or gloss if I go with gloss shadowline vinyl) Angel eye LEDs BMW Performance Exhaust (this one obviously being the most expensive) A quick search showed that tint shops could potentially do this too, so I may end up seeing how much that costs. I'd rather have it done right, even if it costs me a bit. I'll definitely report back here if/when I get it done.

All we'd have to do is block Brian from the thread

Great idea, a suggestion I have is that replying should be limited to reviews of service from customers, and posts from the OP about specials etc.  Not really fair to the OP to publicly barter over price/personal deals etc.

Automatc convertible?  It's like your a 16 year old girl with a convertable v-6 mustang!
 
All kidding aside, very cool.  And I vote for a manual swap and heavy modifications.

too far away! with the v8 i can actually feel my wallet lighten with a drive like that.
