Should i or shouldn't i...

Fun fact. The most enjoyable road trips are the ones that have the most amount of unplanned things happening in them.

Totally agree.

Should.

Go for it! Just check the essentials. AAA is a great idea. I drive my 240k 325ix from Tacoma, WA to LA for bimmerfest every year and have never had a problem. Cooling system is the big thing to check before leaving but other then that e30s seem to like long road trips, in my opinion.

Go for it, dont worry bout anything. Dont bring coolant or oil and dont check anything. ;)

If you breakdown the real adventure starts and the adventurous possibilities are endless!!!!! Car broke down?? no worries just carjack another...oh the fun!!! lol

Get the AAA plus rv, it gives you towing up to 100 miles instead of the usual 5 miles. It's only a few bucks more and imho worth it.

Bring a small selection of tools (i keep a weather proof toolbox in my under hood battery tray at all times actually), hand air pump or air tank, one of those 5 qt jugs of oil and a couple gallons of water. Maybe a roll or two of gorilla tape and a blanket as well.

I take all that stuff when I go on roadtrips and haven't ever ended up stranded. have a safe trip!

should!







p.s. i didnt read a thing you wrote.

hahaha, thanks... that helps also

Might be an idea to bring a voltage regulator along for your alternator. They're small.
Well, that or check yours before heading out....that'd be the wise thing to do.



The only time an E30 has let me down was when those carbon brushes wore themselves out.

noted, very good input, thanks

Honestly, you would be surprised at how far even the most worn down and unreliable car will go. I did a 3 hour drive with the M10 to Parker with cooling issues and no AC without a single hiccup.

i am kinda hoping that all will go well. not scared just cautious.. thanks so much for chiming in.

Coolant, battery charger, oil, and AAA.

i am starting a list.. hehe, thanks
