HipMF Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 So... I've got this beast sitting in storage right now: I originally bought it to use as a winter beater because it was RWD and a manual. Ended up daily-driving it for far longer than intended. Mechanically, it's a pretty solid car. Suspension is fresh. Drivetrain seems solid. Needs a CSB, ECU, and has a rotor that is starting to get warped. 290k+ miles. Other than that, it runs and drives just fine. Despite it's age and all the faults that come with it, I've actually become somewhat fond of it, and I'm having a hard time just getting rid of it. Especially, since it's monetary value is pretty insignificant (basically a oilpan, pickup and dipstick tube with car attached...). I've had two people threaten to buy it to use as a drift car, but so far no one has put any money in my hand. Sooo.... What the hell should I do with this thing? It's had 3 WIBimmers owners so far. Seems like a shame to just sell it/part it out/scrap it, but it's not worth much more than that financially. Open to suggestions/looking for ideas here...

YoungCR Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 check to make sure the CSB is replaceable, the V8 cars at least sometimes don’t have a slip joint which I found out I have a NIB CSB that should fit if you’d be interested. Feel free to come pull a rotor or any parts off my black car too. Personally I’d just run it until something major breaks. You can pick up a another perfect e34 down south for $2k or less.

Rekpoint Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 My brothers E34 had 250k miles when we sold it. Ran like a champ!Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HipMF Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Thanks Chris! Maybe we need to put together a WIBimmers convoy for the Gambler 500. Paging @GunMetalGrey @Jdesign. If an e39 can do it, it should be a walk in the park for an e34... Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta make a skid to save the pan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 To this day that is one of my cars that Sam misses the most. It is definitely something nice to keep around if you need to work on the compact and have it down at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
