lol it was the opposite for most of last winter.....e30 broke, so i drove the e46 m3 all winter on summer tires. fun.
and i hope you use the iX in the snow....and not garage queen it!
Haha well I can't lie I do try to keep it off the shitty salty roads, but any day it's half decant I'm cursing in the Ix. I couldn't spend over 2 years building a car to only see it sit in the garage :)

i hear you man. after all that work you put into the body, i dont blame you.
i know I'm going to regret using mine as both a daily car + winter car, once the body starts rotting...but i love driving it too much not to. it begs for attention, so i say f it, and just use it. I've avg about 25K miles a yr w/ it since I got it 2009.

Thanks man. Yeah I know what u mean about parking. I park both my cars in Manhattan all the time and cringe at times. Bumper bullies save my bumpers though.
And the valve cover I bought from RobertK (kadunza.com).

Hey Carolyn- it's drew who sold you the car back in September. Glad to see you are enjoying the car and taking excellent care of her. Having owned the car for 5 years and then selling it to Pat aka PorscheDude and then buying it back before selling her again, to you, I know it has been taken care of and very well sorted. If you ever want to sell her, just let me know first, please. LOL!

my ’89. it’s rather basic (and automatic…and slow…), but quite clean.
i’m almost certain that the car has already been posted on this thread by PorscheDude, who owned it several months ago and put a lot of good work into it, but i'll just post it again :) some minor changes have been made since anyway.
these pictures are from all over the place:

Happy New Year All!!
Currently stalled (due to weather) M50 + 6 speed from 540i. Engine + tranny + Oil pan happily married, now to convince them to stay put in the car is next task.
