How much has your e30 cost you?

[ssaylor]

I just looked. My 325is cost $24,500 on May 26th, 1990.

[CrusherCurtis]

Including the car probably like $20k in less than a year.
I don't even like to think about it and I wouldn't dare add it up.

From what I can remember
Shipping from west coast ($1000)
Sound system twice
Wheels twice ($4000 on the second set)
Some interior work
Euro smoke smilies
mt1 spoiler
Mtechnic floormats
Eurowipers
Euro plate.
Complete Repaint
New Suspension
My brake booster debacle
My metal bits in paint debacle
Some fancy alarm which I hate
more that I can't recall.
