B C Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Is the buyer of your M3 local? rather, will you be seeing your old car driving around the area, causing you anguish and suffering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M20_fever Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 M42 is a great engine if properly maintained, congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The white e30 is mine as well, a 325ix.... In a little bit rougher shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystere30 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 oh alex..you always know how to excite me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten2doyle102 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The m42 in mine seems to be holding together ok and it seeing a beating.... ALL the time. Never really misses a beat. You'll love that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Took it to St Louis today (and still there now...).Averaged 30mpg, only "issue" was the iS front lip began to flap on one side. Popped it off and put it in the trunk. It's a great car. I'll be posting a lot more soon.As for the M3, it was sold to a enthusiast somewhere near Minneapolis, but in Wisconsin. He's a BMWCCA member, I may run into him again, but I doubt it. The previous owner of the 318is is local to Milwaukee and is active in Badger Bimmers, he's messaged me like 3 times jokingly (maybe?) asking for the 318is back!Cool guys, it was a very pleasant experience. The BMWCCA community seems to be great. I plan on being much more active now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 So have decided what route you're gonna go with this car re: motor swap, coils, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 S50 twin turbo swap. I think that was what he was looking for. Meth injection with like 40lb injectors and a fuel pump out of a 747. .5 miles to the gallon. Right alex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
industrialsized Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 hopefully an s38, m62 or f01 swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Immediate plans are to address the few issues, which I'll list in a project thread....Plans are for a OEM plus type build. Clean, lightly modified m42, mostly suspension work. Plan is to use it for auto-x and rock the gas sipping M42 for a while. There are long term ideas, but I'll leave it alone for a bit.I have other priorities first though.... Obviously, as I sold the M3... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystere30 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 oooooooo come autox alex!! i've heard e30s are a blast to race from a couple of people. ...but not quite as fun as the miata... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I can't drive a miata, they're ugly, and look homosexual... Which is fine, if you're into that thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystere30 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 ouch....even if its a classy track rat with a $1200 suspension?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexw Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I just prefer e30's....I respect miatas for what they are, but I would never daily one. And that's what I'm looking for, daily driven, prepared for casual auto-x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
