Updates 5/23/2016:
Had an awesome weekend, ended up joining the BMW CCA for a "Bimmers and Bombers" drive. I was really winding out the E30 trying to keep up with everyone and it didn't flinch a beat. Awesome feeling to know my hard work is paying off. I did notice an electrical burning smell after keeping the RPMs pegged on a long straight away in 5th gear, which I believe was the alternator getting hot. The smell was very similar to an electric motor starting to burn up. Might need a new one in the future, but it seems to holding up fine for now.
To say I was overly prepared was an understatement, practically brought my entire garage with me![Rofl1](https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/core/images/smilies/rofl1.gif)

Here are some pics from the drive, my buddy and I were the only E30s there:

Although a beautiful E30 M3 showed up later on:

I also picked up a Yakima roof rack, fairing, and bike rack this weekend. Had no idea how expensive the racks were, $600+ new for everything? Seems excessive, but I got everything for $350 so I feel pretty good about it.
Test fit the BMX on the rack, can't wait to get out and ride a bit![Cool](https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/core/images/smilies/cool.gif)
