Ahhh... you bought this off the kid who bought the E36 after he broke the pan and never changed it? He seemed like a cool guy. Was kinda sad to here he gave up in the e30.

I think you'd be happier just having a nice suspension and brakes rather than an m50, plus it would be progress toward reliability rather than complicity. and any "DAMN that's low" would never be functional for grip. one or the other.Originally posted by StandLow_Ralphy View Post
the thing about the m50 is that it's not that much faster than the m20's.
my 325e (before I did the frankenstein) would blow away my e34 no problem, and wouldn't be left feeling too hurt after loosing to an e36
but on a good handling setup with a well running engine you could still do drift, and really have a good handling car at an autox. and a higher ratio diff would help more than you'd imagine.
something to think about.Last edited by squidmaster; 10-16-2012, 09:28 AM.Comment

I don't think you're going to be running that suspension setup. You're getting into a mildly sporty low budget car, not a dtm or nurburgring time attack car. I think barely clearing speed bumps or not being able to at all is "damn low" or whatever.Comment

Why not damn that's functional?
Fat tires and sport suspension.Comment

Well for those that know a bit about e30's and cars, know that "slammed" obviously didn't good for grip. But for an e30, and those that know how high they are, a +/- 2inch drop is "damn thats low" with the right wheel/tire setup. That's what I was getting at with that statement.Comment
