You can babysit for Pat during racesNow there’s an idea. If someone wanted to pick me up from MSOE I’d be happy to. The curse of not having a car at school haha.

My question would be whether or not you’re gonna be able to fit a longitudal engine in a bay meant for a transverse one. Interested to see where this goes though.

Also, Merry Christmas everyone!

You could do like gloss lips/barrels and matte spokes, or maybe like a gloss transitioning to a matte on the different surfaces of the spokes, similar to how some modern wheels have silver surfaces but then black/gray sides to the spokes, kinda like these.
-
Yeah I like the idea of gloss black wheels with the red tire lettering.

My gift from @straight6pwr showed up today, got a sweet LEGO Porsche 918, along with some WiBimmers decals and a blipshift one as well. Thanks Dan!

Jeez, the wheels and kit on the e36 make it almost worth it in their own. Pretty good deal for someone.

Hmm, re the 318is the car's title from NY was "lost". Wonder did seller lose it or never had it?
The e30 parts seller is someone who bought a half semi-load of parts plus a number of cars from an estate sale a year ago, two years ago? I emailed back a forth with him a bit but never went down to actually look at what he's got. Anyone looked at the stash?
Interesting, I always wondered what the deal was with that ad. I might shoot him a message about a diff.

Glad you like it!

Im with you on the long wheelbase 7 series. It would have to have an armored version though
Agreed, an armored e38 750il on mpars would be such a sweet car.

Bit of an oddball find.

I really dig the color combo. Whole car looks a little rough around the edges though.

I've got irrational desire to someday own a long wheelbase 7 series. The fact that there's a couple pretty decent ones on CL right now isn't helping.

Decent deal on an '02. No real interior, but it'd be cool for bombing around on backroads in.

Sounds like fun to me, I’d definitely like to drive more of the state if I can, and meet more of you guys.
-
Mine will be heading out tomorrow, just gotta hike it to the post office.

I believe I’ve got a farm and fleet 3 ton, not super low car friendly and super sticky when you initially lower the car, but it feels super sturdy. Also curious to see what people recommend.

When I’m home over break I’ll have to trace the wire through the firewall, I know the car had an alarm at one point but it wasn’t an Alpine but I suppose there isn’t any reason they couldn’t have used factory plugs for certain parts of the system.

Not long enough from what you're describing but kind of looks like part of the wiring for the ambient temp sensor (that fits in your driver's brake duct), or part of the horn harness but with the side clips broken off.
Here is a horn pigtail:https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E30-Horn-Late-Model-Connector-Pig-Tails-325i-325is-325ic-318i-318is-/172961235390?hash=item28454b01be
Have you traced the wire back through the firewall and under the dash?
I haven’t, that’ll probably be something I do next spring when I’m back home. I forgot to mention that it did have clips on the sides, one was already broken and the other one crumbled when I was looking at it.
-
It’s an ‘89, it doesn’t reach far enough to reach the brake fluid reservoir, I can’t think of anything else that’s even in that area.
-
I was poking around on the car today and found a mystery connector sitting up by the fuse box on my e30. I’m curious to what it’s for, any ideas? The wires coming out of it are brown and green/brown. At first I figured it was from the old alarm, but it has a BMW connector on it and doesn’t look spliced in.

It was such an amazing day for late november, bet it was great with the top down!
What do you drive in the winter and why do the tires go in the basement?
Yeah it was a great day for a drive, although I got quite a few funny looks as it got colder later in the day haha. I drive a ‘98 Mercury Grand Marquis when I’m home in the winter (it’s not going back to school with me), it’s a barge and a gas guzzler but a total hoot in the snow.
Tires are going in the basement because they’re extreme performance summers, and I think I’m going to follow manufacturer warnings at least for this year and keep them out of the cold. The car is stored in an unheated garage so I don’t want to take any chances with the rubber cracking and ruining a 1500 mile set of tires.

Haha I was thinking the same thing about the e21, I was actually just going to post about how similar they were. I feel like if that guy got rid of the white grilles and went to euro bumpers, that would be such a cool car. Even changing back to silver bumpers would be an improvement though.
