Thanks! I was against the scoob for so long, but it is the best 'compromise' vehicle I could ask for. It makes the e30 feel slow.

I've wanted one for so long but they were expensive , now the prices are lower on them and i rlly want to trade my current daily for one.

Yeah I noticed that! Mine is a 5sp sports XT which hasn't seemed to drop as much as the others, but I noticed that the KBB went WAY down, whereas NASIOC prices have stayed a bit more steady but are slowly declining.

Thanks, man! The sports models are pretty rare over here too! I couldn't agree more, it's always been the 'staple' e30 to me.

I may or may not be going to look at an E30M3 in someone's yard on Friday...............

Jealous!

Excellent stuff!

I would also snatch up a clean example like that if one popped up near me.

Thanks, man! Yes, it was hard to resist. JakeB (Classic Daily) is pulling a 5sp swap for me as we speak for Linda. I have boxes and boxes of parts awaiting to go on!
