                                The more I think about it (and the more I wait for another E30 I've been eyeing to be ready), the more I want this car. Can you tell me if it is possible to install AC? I mean, is there even room in the engine bay? It doesn't look like it at all after that shoehorn job ;)

                                    It is pretty tight, but anything is possible. So I can't say with certainty yes or no regarding A/C.

                                        After several months storage, I hooked up the battery and she started up immediately. Drove around to stir up the fluids. Back in the garage now, waiting....

                                            good to know i'm not the only real estate professional starving to death at the moment. Its getting ridiculous. I love that engine so much torque.

                                                    Didnt this car come from ebay or the like about 6 months or so ago?

                                                    What is the grill situation?

                                                            Nope never on ebay. Another V8 swap done by AKG was on there, I'm sure that is the one you are thinking about.

                                                            The grill is from a 740, modified to fit. No mods were done to the car, so an E30 grill can be put back on with the turn of a few screws.
