Nice to see another MD guy! I remember seeing your E46 with pictures from the Bay Bridge, is that correct? Was with a black E46 too, very nice stuff, you should post those too!

What plans do you have for the E30? Or is it a daily driver/commuter?

Do you come to the Rockville show on Fridays? Dunno if I saw you there.

[mikeedler]

looks like a BIG project. good luck with it.

I love the ///M sticker!

Beautiful E46 BTW

Welcome to the forum. I think you'll fit in nicely.

Looks like a fun project!

Your story sounds a lot like mine too. I traded my 1998 M3 sedan in on a Nissan Murano, then missed it so much that I had to go out and find an E30. I actually just picked up the E30 less than a month ago.

Good luck with the project!

We should have an Infiniti/Nissan sub forum here... My Daily driver is an FX as well.

[blackmamba1]

Yeah I have had the FX for about 3 months.

I have done tint, K&N Air Filter, Stillen Z tube, Plenum Spacer, and factory clear taillights.

I bought my e30 for less than all of that stuff cost. The FX is now just a daily driver.

Nice, I got an 84 318i myself and look forward to your engine swap.

Nice, did the plenum spacer make a difference?

I've done H+R springs, tint, and the Nissan Ipod interface.

[blackmamba1]

Yeah the plenum made a big difference I would say 10-15 HP. Let me know more about the Ipod interface.

We have the same exact car almost. Mine is White with chrome 20" oem wheels
