The more I look at this the more fun things I have with this. First of all, based on what he says he's spending on this shit I have a box of hats I'd like to sell him.

Um... what. I feel like he typed as if he was talking. Like when you ask how much power something makes and it starts at "Well, from the factory it makes like 300hp but then I added this and it's like 476hp but ya know it was on a semi truck dyno so the rollers probably added drag so it's really like 634hp but I've driven my uncles ZR1 and that's like 700hp and this feels faster than that"
I have $18,500 in upgrades. No joke, a full 22k+ worth!!

Hi all. I will eventually be making a new thread for this, but I wanted to pop in and introduce myself as the new owner. Things have escalated very quickly with this car, and this winter, the engine is getting a complete overhaul (with the exception of the bottom end). The car was in excellent condition considering mileage and age, but it had some oil seepage from most gaskets, power steering, and all the other common E36 things. Anyways, so I pulled the motor...
More to come later, and I will consolidate all of this in a more formal post. If you want to follow along immediately, I post regularly to my story on Instagram about what’s going on (search “therealswiper”)
Cheers,
Josh
I am so happy you joined and that you ended up with this car! Stalking you on Instagram was getting old. I update the old owner periodically to assure him that the car is in good hands. I know this is a car I'm going to wish I bought when I had the chance but I'm happy you've got the time to give it the love it deserves. Please keep updating us!

100% same page.
bright side is getting home projects done that i thought were 10+ years down the line
when this shit is over, open bar at my place!
There's a lot to love here but my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is that you ADDED WOOD PANELING! I know so many women who's heads would absolutely spin if you added that wood paneling to a wall, my wife being one of them lol. I'm a big fan of that "up nort" feel.

Does automotive enthusiasm seem different to anyone else during the last year? I dont know if it’s just me, other hobbies, house projects, or what, but I think 2020 has been the year I have thought the least about cars since I was 6 years old.
All i’ve really been in the mood for is some Colonel Sanders cosplay and maybe a round of cribbage.
I can 100% say that I'm thinking about it more but that's because of work. On a personal note I don't think I'm thinking about it less. I did more home projects but it didn't result in me driving less. I did my first auto-x, attended a track day and hit some cars and coffee events. The season wasn't the same for sure but I don't think it was "less" for me.

The suspension starts to take a nose dive around 75k so I'd say at 100k it's definitely in need of a refresh. The sport suspension is better than the standard but in my opinion it was never night and day different for me. Noticeable but it doesn't make it an M car. Driving an S5 right after doesn't do the e91 any favors since these are two different animals. A 335i m sport or e46 m3 are better comparisons. The V8 in the S5 is nice and sounds great once it's opened up. They don't have the same issues as the earlier 4.2 in the b6/b7. By the B8 chassis the S cars basically became a spicier version of a normal car while the RS cars were direct M competition so consumables aren't that bad as far as price goes. With that said the S car is probably still going to cost more than an e91. Also, you're still dealing with a German V8 so you still need to have some healthy fear of financial disaster at any moment.
The e91 is a great daily utilitarian vehicle but the n52 isn't going to add any thrill to your daily commute while the V8 in the S car will definitely add some excitement. You could make the e91 a great handling great looking car but it'd never compare to the S5 overall.

Just realized 5/19 is a Wednesday. Highly unlikely I’ll make that.

Are the BFR self-ran events fairly well organized?
Very well ran in my limited opinion.

Not exactly, that's only to operate for 5 days.
"6. If you need to use the vehicle for more than 5 days you will need to re-register the vehicle under the regular registration provisions"
They'd have to catch you more than 5 times in the month of January. I guess it depends on how close the FBI guy following Jason around is paying attention to this end of days war wagon.

Android auto and Apple Carplay are worth it. I'm tempted to update my HU in the M3 just to have that. It's so nice to have in my truck!

Chance as a whole has been on repeat for me but the way the beat builds in intensity and the strain in his voice as the story hits it's peak just gets me.

Crazy right? I would think something ran by the government would have a 100% success rate
I did learn something today and that is that private couriers like FedEx and UPS can refuse customers and this time of year they'll often turn off certain clients. Those clients then have to find another means and often it's USPS who CANNOT legally refuse a reasonable and lawful delivery request.

I propose a title change
“BMW man races to double park in a handicap stall”
I like it! I did that intentionally for the video. Really wanted to go full stereotype lol.

Still waiting on an item to show up as well. USPS is by far the worst in terms of package handling this year. They were bad and increased volume only exacerbates the problem.

You take good care of your stuff. E46 are getting old enough that some of them are approaching 1 failed emissions test from being "kept" outside of Milwaukee County. she’s a keeper!
I fixed it for you.

Did you guys know that @patsbimmer1 is a Bear's fan? He also thinks Soldier Field is a better looking stadium than Lambeau.
Can't believe I work with this guy.
First of all I didn't say it looks better, I said it doesn't look bad. What I said about Lambeau is that in spite of it's historical significance it is a fucking hideous stadium from the outside. Dingus disagreed with me due to his admitted unfounded hatred for Chicago and his blind love for everything green and gold. I stand by my claim that Soldier Field isn't as bad as people make it out to be and Lambeau is fucking ugly.
