How often are you working on your e30?

[BLACKCHARM88]

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

[Hooffenstein HD]

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.

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. :)

[yodman]

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.

[TurboJake]

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.

[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 used to never work on my car. Then I did an s50 swap and i don't remember the last day i was home and didn't do something to my car.

This. Though my swap was an m50, I seem to have had way more problems after the swap. Then again, that's to be expected with any major project such as this. Its so worth it though, especially coming from an m10.

[marshallnoise]

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

That's what I'll be doing. I need to pull the rack anyway to get back to fixing my front end damage.

Since I got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, I have lost a ton of motivation. Every time I do anything physical, my freaking bones ache like hell for days. Sucks. Waffles. Etc.

[DaveSmed]

Mowed the lawn around it two years now.

It is my therapy. Once a week then drive it like it is stolen!

truth!
therapeutic for me to wrench on my E30...but it's away for the winter sans-engine/drivetrain so spring will be breakthroughs lol

[heatmakerz]

Every week because I want to and I like to tinker with it. Every few months for something it actually needs.

[stonea]

I'm always doing something to it at least once a week, but its mostly tinkering or messing around with it, maybe once a weekend every month I'll actually do something it needs. That being said over the summer I was working on it every day, but I was doing a mini restoration.

[KIRIEIW]

Well my other e30 project is done so cross my fingers, thats just oil changes. New one I'm working on everyday.
