    M5s are amazing, but too long for me (not to mention too expensive for me). Fast and beautiful though. Nice find!

        EtaSport - I am actually located in NOVA. First set of pics were taken by the previous owner who lived outside of Annapolis, MD.

        The engine shots were taken today at my house....you might notice my wife's e46 330i in the background.

        It isn't quite as fun in the twisties as the e30's. However, get it out on the highway and it will eat a bunch of cars for lunch.

            Looks like you scored on this one. Back to my earlier question...any grinding in 2-3 gear?

                Sold the Henna to a guy from AZ. I owned it for about a month before putting it up for sale. It had 171K on it, no records and was in pretty rough shape. I would have gone well beyond the 15K rule getting it back into shape. BTW, the BBS RX's and your spacers went with it.

                Same guy also bought the 91 318is. It was in really good mechanical shape, but I was going to have difficulty titling it here in VA because it had a Salvage title from NH. It think that he is going to turn it into a dedicated track car.

                Rather than look for another e30 M3 project, I decided to suck it up and look for an another e30 M3 at the 15K price point that required no work.

                During my search, I stumbled upon this locally and decided that I couldn't pass it up.

                Sorry Trevor...didn't realize you had asked a question. No, no grinding from 2nd to 3rd.

                        I'm loving both my new e34's, wish I could have got an M5, but I kept my e30 for track fun.

                          That picture gives me wood. I absolutely LOVE the S38, it's probably my favorite BMW engine. I would love to someday shoehorn one into an E30. :D

                          Great looking car, I love the E34. Red wouldn't be my first choice, but I bet if it were to be shadowlined, it would change the look quite a bit. The BBS are a nice touch, also. I'll have to get you guys some shots of a friend of mine's wife's E34, it's a white 540i sport with Throwing Stars, it's quite badass.
