    The replacement is finally here *e30 m3 content*

    Its been a pretty anxious 3 weeks, but I finally got the car up here. I had very good timing with selling my e46 m3, so I had the opportunity to buy my dream car. Its a 1988 M3, Zinno on Tan, and still has the s14 with just under 111,000 miles. The car came from Texas, through what was left by the huge winter storm, so needless to say the car is FILTHY. But nothing that wont come off in the wash. Just need to wait for temps to get above 0 to safely wash it... Aparently the car had trouble starting in the cold, probably due to a weak battery. Thankfully it started right up when it was dropped off to me.

    Okay, enough talk. Onto pics

    Leaving Texas, I hope it enjoyed the grass.


    And into a little bit chillier climate



    I told you she was filthy. Thank you to my girlfriend for helping me see out my windows. (she likes my e46 better, not surprising ) Everything was frosted up. I couldnt see shit on my ride home (about 4 miles) but I wanted to get home as soon as possible.



    Finally, in my garage. So relieved.


    325i, meet M3 :) Zinno bros...i hope the 325i doesnt get jealous the m3 is borrowing the garage for a bit.


    I already have a lot of parts on the way. Very excited to tidy things up.

        As of right now, Im focusing on replacing parts that are missing, get the car professionally detailed, and then I will refresh suspension/steering and change up the wheels. Id like to get m systems with throwing star covers if possible. Or 16" e28 weaves. I will be keepingmostly stock. Thinking about converting the interior to black as well.

          Also I think you'll grow to like the tan.
          Have fun, beautiful car.

                    Yep, thats the MOA in the background :) And dont worry, car was only driven in that crap from the pick up spot to my house. Will be given a nice wash before I put it away for the winter. Thankfully its not warm enough for salt to do anything right now.
