    Probably about 5 days out of the week. Usually an hour or two at night. Weekend mornings for a couple hours. I really don't watch tv or play videogames like a normal 19 year old so I have a lot of time to put toward my builds.

    I basically did a complete tear down of a 318is, all the way to the shell and put it all back together in a little under 9 months.
    You can really get shit done if you have the drive and money
    to do so

    FTFY

    I have 2 and one is "driving". This weekend it blew part of its muffler off....add it to that list. The other is in pieces. I do my best to work on either at least once a week.

    Wait on the M3? Did I miss a build thread?

    Not at all, but get to next week for about 20 days

    I too am glad my savings aren't accessible at moment's notice

    i worked on mine daily for about 7 months to get it to a point where i could register it. then once it was rolling i hardly touched it. even though there's a laundry list of things i still wanna do (a lot of which don't even cost any money really).

    my car started off as a BIG project and i only got so much done so i'm fortunate all that happened was a blown clutch slave over the 4 months that i was beating on it before winter. it's a pretty tough car.

    For fun or because I need to? I haven't done anything to the car I had to do in months and months, probably my oil change in January.

    Wish I would have done one of those before I did the m30 swap. Didn't realize how simple they were

    Depends haha sometime I'll go a week without touching it. Sometimes I'll go a week of working on it non every chance I get of the day. Always on my pone looking at parts and gettin info though.

    Probably work on mine once a month or so, but it's more tinkering / mods than necessary maintenance. It's therapeutic :)

    If I'd left it stock, over the last 6 years all I would have done is serviced it once a year, and done the fuel pump when it died two years ago. Can't say I've found mine to be a money pit. I did buy a neat two owner car to begin with though.

    Just adjusted the parking brakes last night while switching over to snow tires.
