I normally don't post because she's nowhere close to some of the nice e30's on here but I guess there's always a first. Anyway, on to the pics....

Love it, it looks great! of course i am a little biased..

Very nice car man! i have a so good sticker too!

what electric fans are you guys running?

Ditched clutch fan, AC condenser, and aux fan.

E36 fan where condenser used to be, wired to the aux fan circuit (you'll need a higher fuse for this circuit).

Now the snowflake AC button is the "engine cooling" button, and you've got a fuckton of room between engine and radiator.

Pics in my build thread, search for "318ic restore".

1. loving the stance of this
2. is this photo taken on the road parallel to 580 in contra costa?
3. redriled or adapted?
4. lol titleist sticker placement.

1) Thank you!
2) No. It's a road parallel to 680 around Pleasanton
3) adapted :)
4) It says "FILTHIEST" lol...dirty dirty engine bay..

Unless you're just fishing for compliments, that car's definitely nice enough to post.

The car has been a major pita. The car started as a non running p.o.s after replacing the top,motor,tranny,suspension stuff, interior and doing some raggidy body work, it's just slowly starting to head to the direction I want it to be. Still nowhere close to where I want but its a start. Trust me, it's worse in person imho

Could an e36 compact join the M42 goon squad? If so here is mine. (If not I'll remove the pictures=D)

Engine shot:

#1) Your car is sick, I have a hard time liking the E36 ti's...but this is clean as hell.

#2) What intake boot is that??

[pmat]

Nothing special here. Slowly working on it as funds allow.

30MPG? I'm jelly.

[Jboss12]

^^^ wow, The exterior on that looks immaculate

[MazterDizazter]

You guys have some really nice E30's, and nice M42's! Here's my shitbox; I need to put in work cleaning the engine bay and interior up (PO lived on a dirt road) and get it lower with some 15 or 16" wheels, but that's about all I have planned:








Who makes fun of M42's? Getting 30mpg is the balls! I coulda bought a Civic or some shit but instead I bought an iconic rear-wheel-drive BMW that is fun to drive and solid as a rock. OK, I coulda bought another MR2 and gotten 30mpg with RWD but two MR2's would be boring and I wanted something better for highway driving.

Couple phone pics of the bay. Still have a bunch of cosmoline to get off and a few things to clean up. Gotta love the space up front though!

Speaking of which, any M42 guys have a stock, working cat? Mine's starting to break down and chunk out. I'd love to not pay for a new replacement, but I'm nowhere near putting the turbo on, and I don't want a loud, slow car.
