    #3 still has a nikasil block. If it has 110,000+ miles, shouldn't it mean that the block isn't degrading?

          you should totally get that e30 328is man.... that shit rocks!!!!


          wait....

          you own that car, it needs a new head... which you have...

          WTF ARE YOU THINKING!?!?!?!?!!!!!

          M-parallels is all you're going to do eh? I doubt it. You'll start modding this, trying to make it the car your e30 is, it won't happen, you'll spend $60 a week in gas, and you'll be really pissed off that you sold your e30.

                True story. Head gets fixed Thanksgiving break.

                I mixed up the cars, the green one has the shitty block. I can't get a hold of the black car's owner (great seller, huh).

                The 540i I lost out on on ebay yesterday is now back up for sale...to me. The buyer couldn't come through with the money. So now do I want a VERY well maintained (reupholstered, replaced a lot of worn stuff, allusil block, basically everything is pretty) auto 540i for $6k, or the black 540/6 with a potential nikisil block and no mods done to it for $2600 more?

                Tough decisions.

                Also, if I buy the $6k one, I can keep the e30.

                  Your views might change when that head gets fixed.

                  Your car WILL pull like SOB when it gets done.

                    Then I shall go for the green one in Houston and keep the e30 (yay says the board).

                    Sean, he's willing to ship, but I think it'd be a lot more fun doing the road trip...next weekend.

                        I'm not sure why you'd even consider an automatic?

                          Maybe that way he won't mod it then lose the cushyness and it will be like his E30.

                          BTW. Keep the E30 you asshole, see you tonight.

                                Just disregard Auto E34s.

                                Only way i'd jump into an early e34 540i is w/ Alusil.

                                Honestly, i'd jump on a nice e34 535i/5 before a 540i though. Only way a 540i is really cool is with a hot cam.
