Thanks, I appreciate it. Motor is on the way, just need to plan out the bits and pieces. Josh F (e30josh) up in Anacortes is going to do the swap for me in at least partial exchange for me doing his and his brother's taxes. I don't have any space to do that kind of work.

Thanks man! Oh nice! The seats that were gonna go into the 2002??

no, they were going bronzit sedan in my signature. the 02 went to another home years ago unfortunately. dumb mistake there, but i was young and poor and didn't have the garage to work on it.

so i just did a thing......

The E30 can finally rest easy from daily duties! I can finally address the rear end and other tid bits ive been holding off on!

Looks good, thank God its not a SMG car. Get an oil analysis and give yourself peace of mind

I'm loving the progress on the E30 and nice Speed Triple, too!
Those E46 M3s are sooo much fun to drive!

Thanks brosef! yeah man, after having an SMG parts car in my garage for a whole month, im super happy i didnt go that route. Seeing everything that could go wrong gave me nightmares.

n00b question, but where can i get an oil anal-ysis done? Cost? just ordered a ton of Inspection ii parts, shifter rebuild/E60 shifter, and alot of other misc parts.

excited to get the M3 up to par with the E30!

Thanks a ton! The E30 still needs a TON of work. Debating if i should start going full racecar on her...The Speed triple is actually going to be sold this week to make room for the M3. I love it, but somethings gotta go!

And the E46 M3 is so nice. It's my first E46 and my last!

Is this a common issue for 2005's? I know early production E46 M3's had bearing issues, but didnt they fix that for later models?

Better safe than sorry

You should call Blunttech for Anal-ysis. He'll do it for Freedom Bux for sure.

Glad to see you got that M3 you were talking about a little while back with me. Also glad to see you didn't choose to sell the e30 to fund it like you were whispering about. Kinda sad I can't oogle at the e30 on the way home as we stalk you in the Supra though. haha. oh well. Nice looking M3!!
