Earl Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would let you if I had a garage=P IIRC, you did have an e30 in the garage next to your e21 and that has since been sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris3 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Very cool car! Pick this up and join the vintage race circuit. Midwest Council even has a Vintage run group for the Long Race this weekend at Blackhawk Farms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would in a heartbeat, but I have to look at the big picture. It has been a race car from the factory (aka no title) which means I would need to buy a trailer and a truck to haul the trailer whenever I would want to take it to the track. Otherwise it will just sit in storage forever and never be used. Reality sucks! B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 You can pick up car trailers pretty cheap, especially since this car is a feather weight. I'm sure your bass boat tow rig could haul it with no issues. B C, Bassboy3313 and KaiserRolls 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Borrow Snap's van, remove the rear van seats, get some 4' 2x8s for ramps, push the car into the van = done, plus you've more than 1/2 way towards a chump car team.

The liveliness of an e30 rear susp. with the great engine placement of the e36 front end John Morgan's s52 swapped ti would be, and probably is, a track beast....I seriously considered that one for a bit after taking it for a drive at the e30 picnic. Managed to resist the temptation. Sorry John! This guy's m50 swap is a junior version. Would possibly get you into less trouble on the street, though. That said, in addition to the one track video in the FS listing (where he's running Gingerman in what looks the reverse direction...must have been a fascinating track day), there's a video floating around I found of the seller hooning about in an industrial parking lot. i_love_cars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 who the hell is swapping e36 motors into other e36s when e30s exist? andyhundley and KaiserRolls 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Or just pick up a Z3 or Z3M. Same shit, different pile as a ti. Just doesn't look as dumb (IMO). I may be biased owning a Z3M, but it is a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, a $1500-2000 car with a $500 motor in it ain't really worth 4 grand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because compacts handle so well compared to e30's and normal e36's due to being a mash-up of the suspensions. You need to drive one and see haha REKIII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
