1994 Daytona Violet (Purple!) Touring

[2mAn]

My current plan is to work on it and drive it. When I get all of the things I don't like about it fixed, it is likely that I will be tired of it and sell it.

This is a win/win situation for me and whoever buys it: I get to drive a really nice car and work on it. The person that buys it will get a really sorted out E30 Touring.

Wish I could have this Touring in California... oh well...

Somehow I missed this thread. Love the color combo; that interior is drool-worthy on its own. Alpina's are a nice touch. What are your plans now that you've spent some time with it?

They are available in Europe. You just have to keep looking for the right one at the right price. Or, you can use one of the guys in Europe that have found they can sell these cars to Americans for more that they can get in Europe.

I used Euro Bimmers on Facebook. Nice car at a fair price.

That's super cool, and the exact car I want to buy!

How difficult was it to find a daytona violet car?

Very nice

Have I exceeded the Purple Limit?

I have been a little lax with the Purple Photo Porn. I'll see what I can do to remedy that.

I just set a new Personal Record: I registered and Titled the Touring with only ONE trip to the license branch!

We’re all disappointed by the lack of pictures!

I just found out hoopte #5 has a non reconstructed salvage title upon trying to title it, so I have many a BMV visit ahead of me.

Not sure why, but this Touring seems to handle better than the last one, and I haven't even started replacing suspension components yet. Snow tires have better traction than older summer tires?

All of the Design Edition cars were M40. This one still is. I plan on keeping the M40-B18 in it.

I am very happy with this powerplant, except for one thing: Its gas mileage is not significantly better than an M20. The highway mileage that I am getting (wihich matches the other M40 I had) is 30 mgp on the highway.

What's the point of a small engine unless it gives you better mileage?

About the wheels (hinted at by AWDBOB above) : I have a set of Alpine knockoffs that will be going on this soon. I think it will transform the look of this car.

Do you think this car has been lowered? I can't tell.

Looks like old springs. Also, B25s, at least with standard gears don't typically get 30. But ultimately you get an M40, specifically a B16, to constantly demonstrate the size of your manhood every single time you have a left hand merge around a sharp bend with a short weave lane. Or maybe it's tax reasons, but that's not as fun.

Alpinas will look good on it. The car definitely hasnt been lowered.

Im a huge fan of the M20 motor and I support building up a high comp 2.9 for it. It will be fantastic and still get the same mediocre MPG the M40 does haha
