I've had my E30 for almost 10 years - off the top of my head, it's $XX,XXX total. Also, you couldn't find a running E30 for $500 (unless you got LUCKY). Anyone who's just bought one and hasn't spent a lot of time on it will have spent less.

car: 3100
gasket/tensioner set: 400
vogtland springs w/ billie's: 300
m42 93 oct chip: 150

$3950 so far, but i want an s52 swap :sad:

I would say im at 11k for my entire BMW project but thats INCLUDING my e36 m3 donor car from which i will be pulling the s50, tranny and steering rack and parting the rest out plus sell my m20 and getrag so im thinking ill be down to 7k total but i have a lot of stuff done to it as it sits

mod list:
My 1989 325i
s50 chipped=ready to install (have all swap parts too)
zf tranny=ready to install

thats all i remember off the top of my head, i have a lot of little things done too. I did all the work myself so that kept my costs low for what i got. so im guessing ill be in it 7K but have a s50d e30 thats complete to my liking :)
