    Mild? It's freezing at night and winter hasn't even started! It was down to 7 last winter! I was just thinking I need to move south while walking to my e39 today.

    If it could not go below 55 at night during winter that would be great.

      Agreed.


      Make sure to bitch and complain as much as possible. This will help other sellers justify their higher prices even more.
      If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

        If you don't want to work on it anymore just don't. Sell it, get some of your money back and put it towards something you enjoy more. There is little more frustrating than having an optional project you don't really enjoy any more.

        Then never look back, unless it's to examine the tire smoke from your new to you AMG.

          Fix to see the broken photobucket pictures...


          Still need some time to take it back to exhaust shop to add a resonator, hope to quiet it down even more.

                  If its a toy just keep it and finish it. Take a break from it if you need to and recoup some money

                    It would be a shame to see a familiar face leave the community.. If you still enjoy working on the car some times I'd say keep it, I'm sure finding a clean rust free e30 in your part of the states isn't the easiest task huh? I've sold all my e30's though, somewhat regret selling my coupe a year or so back just because of how solid of a car it was. I have my doubts I'll ever be able to build a e30 that solid again. Having one again is nice, but it's really repetitive fixing the same common e30 problems over and over again.

                      I appreciate that.

                      It is a toy.. from six or so years ago. I will get the exhaust right and go from there.

                      And I wouldn't come back crying. So many cool cars out there.. Id be just as hally or unhappy with it, too.


                      Is it a for sale thread? Not yet. Make an offer. Id sell it with all ACS parts, full bkdy kit sans rear spoiler. Wneels. Knob. M30 Valve cover. Some NOS parts (center console...).

                          This is part of the reason, too. I am finding the group surrounding the chassis....reminding me of 15 years ago when I was in the VW scene.

                          I need more of a grandpa car I suppose. Maybe an S55, E63 or E55.

                            The E30 scene still seems okay to me, and the younger folks have a lot to learn, but it's way better than the VW scene in my experience.

                            We all get old, and our priorities change. Get an E63 and bring it to the CP meet, we'll like it.
