New to BMW/e30

Looks like you have a good excuse for an engine swap then.

it was going to get swapped in the spring regardless, just didnt expect it this soon.



the verdict is a new m42, possible motor mounts, valve/oil pan gaskets, new axles, exhaust fixed and power steering fixed. Solo Motorsports in ATL is doing all the work.

they said the trans shifts like butter though :up:

[OOMPH!]

Hopefully you get everything sorted out in time for H20, I want to see this car in person. Good Luck!

its interesting the PO hasnt stepped up to save face. just further proves my point hes a deceitful/lying/shady motherfucker.



solo motorsports called a little bit ago and sourced me a low mileage m42 so the car should be ready next weekend. costing a bit more than i expected (my own assumption/fault. solo has cut costs and hooked it up where possible).


just a crazy mess.

I saw this car for sale many times via craigslist and whatnot. I was wondering why it didn't sell quicker than this. Now I know why.

Good to see you made the swap to e30. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

as least you have fuckin baller wheels and nice kw coils... fuck the motor get m20b25 for 400 bucks and throw it in.

This, this andddddddddddd this. M20 it all the way! Cheap, easy and reliable.

I would have just paid a little extra $, dropped in a 24v, and called it done.

Damn dude, sorry to hear about the condition of the car. PO is a dickless waffleswaffleswaffleswafflesbag for not telling you about the stuff that was wrong, especially a fucking hole in the block.

But good to hear you're getting her all fixed up :) The stance and wheels are amazing, this car deserves to run as good as it looks!

[fck]

good luck, dude.

you're in good hands with bryson and solo motorsports.

this is sin bar on vortex, btw.
car looks pretty, anyway. :o

[BADCLOWN]

haha, right on man. i need to spend the weekend down there and get to know you all a little better. seems like the ATL scene (for the most part) is amazing from what Gregg has told me
