How often are you working on your e30?

[Vincent Brick]

Constantly, as in I can barely have a social life since I bought it and am often stranded at home lately. In 8 months I have not gone more than 2 weeks without a major problem, this week's issue being a perished engine. I have close to twice what the car is worth into it now, and I've put more miles on my roommate's Del Sol in the past month than I have my own car. If I'm not working on it, I'm on the computer trying to figure out what is wrong or trying to find parts.

I haven't done a damn thing other than put gas in it and change the oil twice, for a year and a half. The last time I really worked on it was in California on my road trip.

I love m20's.

The other one though. been about 8 months. Still engineless.

I bought mine 6 weeks ago, got some much needed parts about two weeks ago and installed, and haven't worked on it since. I drive it every day, 60 miles each way to and from work. So that's 600 miles per work week, not counting weekend miles.

It's got at least 250,000 on it and looks like ass.

Plans are forming, I just want to have them concretely in my head.

I also have problematic old VWs to worry about as well.

You have a longer commute than me even, with slightly higher mileage and presumably a northern, rust belt car. Thank you for giving me hope. :)

Put it on the hoist and do an oil change and a nut and bolt check once a month. My daily commute is 30km each way over rough and winding hills roads.

I only really work on it when I want to change something. Will be doing MAF conversion, 19lb injectors and probably long tubes/full exhaust soon.

In the past I've had some pretty beat up 323i's that required constant work. That got old real quick, so I built this current 327i.

Weekly, not because something breaks but because I don't like something and it has to change.
