Lorin bought a car. (Schnitzer M30 Power)

[djjerme]

I have to say, after putting the Alpina back together and driving it around for a while - I am jumping on the M30 love train as well..

They just have so much low end grunt compared to an M20 - course, I learned that the hard way in the E28 race car. :(

Hello!!

First of all Congrats Lorin for your new car :) I'm really happy for you !!
Well though I don't drive a car but viewing everybody's post I really think of driving a one.

Oh...sorry for my earlier post where I thought it was a MM build.

[LJ851]

^ It was good to hang, as always. Plus nobody went to jail.


I found these papers with the stack of notes and receipts from the original build...









Edit: I have no idea why my pictures are blue, it was really windy today though.

I got the chance to drive this thang yesterday. 1st gear is laughable, just zero traction whatsoever. Pretty much the perfect amount of power and perfect power band for an E30 though.

The thing that was most surprising to me was how tame the motor was when you weren't punching it. Totally refined and dailyable if you needed to. This thing has some definite 80s German voodoo magic going on.

We'll be patiently waiting...

It's gonna hurt your crawling ability in the Scout.


So, can a regular Joe living in a van under the bridge build a similar motor to this, or is there sorcery in the head work and porting that only MM wizards can replicate?

[LJ851]

Nice motor, Loren. Tell us more...can't you make this car into what you want since the engine is already there?

I'll do a build thread on the new car once it's progressed a little.



This car is a blast to drive, i just don't want another E30

[LateFan]
