I think I see what happened.
"If you buy another car I'm leaving you".
"No baby, I love you". (Distracts her with engagement ring, gets married)

Day two of honeymoon:
"While we are here in Venice, I'm going to buy this car"

Well played sir.

Going to make an update about our trip home from Italy to Sweden..

Ok guys now iam back home after some trouble but trouble that was easy fixed and fixed because of a really nice member of this forum many thanks to M-TRD3..

M-TRD3 emailed me when he saw this story and wanted to meet up in Munich and gave me his number if i have time to show him my car well said i saved his number and story goes on..

Wednesday morning 08.25 i took a flight down to Milano with my friend. From Milano we took train to the Village called San bonifacio pretty close to Verona where the car was waiting for me.
I did a random service on the car because of she have been standing in a garage for about more than 6 years so i didn't want to drive on that shitty oil that she had.

After the random maintenance and checkup we took of and had planned to make our first overnight stop in Munich because my friend had planned to buy another car there..

Driving thru the alps was great until the last "Toll" station in Brenner pass where i was suppose to gear down and stop to pay when i suddenly feels that the clutch is stock on the floor and i cant get the gear out and started to sweating and swearing. But after we have calmed down little bit and few calls to a swedish friend that know this cars pretty well to so we start to understand its only the slave cylinder for the clutch that have been dried out because of the 6 years non used.

We have lucky that the last toll station is in a downhill and we manage to put the fifth gear in when the car was of and start it with the startmotor and burbling away. (luckily the engine is strong and we had downhill)

Then i get an idea to call up M-TRD3 that emailed me and ask him if he know any good mechanic in Munich. He giving me an adress to a mechanic in Munich and telling me that he is willing to come there on the morning to help out with the language and try to get us before the other costumers. As promised he really came on the morning and we got a new slave cylinder, new fluid 1 hour waiting. EXCELLENT!

Then we went of to buy my friends car and we had a safe drive home.waffles

Now the car is safe home in sweden but the idle is running rough, Erratic idle. Iam thinking it must be the temp sensors that is broken because the car is running rich so tomorrow iam going to change the temp sensors and make big service on her.

New oil and filter again, oilpan gasket, valve cover gasket..
Iam very satisfied with my find and iam so greatful that i got to be member at this forum and meet a very nice guy that helped us out when we stranded..

checkout the car where there are some nice pics from the owner i bought it from..

Can't wait to see more of this car. S14, mtech II, sedan, diamond Schwarz. My car is so jealous of your car's cajones.

Where is the RHS of the M-tec II kit?

I wish I'd jumped on the 320iS for sale when I was living in Europe - Coupe with no Mt2 kit, but it had E30 M3 5 lug and 16" 'weaves.
