    I think you'll find s54 being cheaper and less hassle in the long run as well. I'd go s38 only if you want to really want it for a specific reason(s).

        I bought mine for $1000, sold $1700 worth of parts off it.....then spent it on other stuff.......I refuse to keep track after passing that number but I know it's close to 3K.

          Have had my latest e30 for 2 weeks and have $5500 in it already. Clean body, M50 swapped, coilovers, custom exhaust work, skid plate, smoked turn signals....much much more to be done....it all adds up very fast!

            I don't even want to know what I have in mine. 5 years of ownership, shit paint, and a stock M10. Lots of suspension work, brake conversion, interior and exterior parts, different wheels and tires, rear end build. The list goes on. Not to mention a LOT of parts that never went on the car because I changed my mind,

                        If you go through BAR and they certify it then it will pass smog no problem. Otherwise you get an illegal smog
