    I'm not an e31 expert but from what I've read I thought no 8 series were sold in U.S. with a manual.... According a local Az guy he has one of six or so 840's that done the six speed swap from a e39.

    8 series is sweet, but not that great I'd rather have an e39.

      12 - 2 = 8 ?

      Id love to have an E31 with an lsx swap. Sounds like a great daily driver.

          I'd love an e31 but i don't fit. Maybe if i put race seates my head won't hit the headliner.

          I've creamed my pants many times pondering this idea. That and a s85 e39 touring.

          850csi came with the six speed. My grandfather used to have a white on grey back in the day.

              No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

                        yah indeed.

                        it sucks when you have to store your car for the winter.

                        but it's nice that you keep miles of them and dont make them rust.
