    E30 Sold, Dakar-II M Coupe acquired!

    As some of you may know, I sold my E30 on Saturday: to purchase a 2000 Dakar-II Coupe S52 from The Pops.

    All I can say is: WOW! I used to get a few rides in this thing, and would occasionally take it out on my own, only for an hour or so, but to finely have it as MY car... simply stunning. It drives like a machine, and has SO MUCH POWER. This beast handles and turns-in like a dream, I still feel giddy whenever I unlock it and start her up.

    Only plans for it as of now are Magnaflow 14815 Mufflers, and possibly suspension in the future...but really all my $$ will be going into LOTS of tires and track time, and maintenance.

    This car is Bone Stock with no BS. 71,000 miles and it runs like it's brand new. My dad was the second owner, and always waxed it whenever he washed it. He never drove it in the rain..just babied it, drove it maybe 2-3 times a month MAYBE and kept it covered and in the garage.

    Onto the pictures..

    My pic's:














    Signed by Lance Armstrong(my dad is a Cancer Survivor, hence the Livestrong, and a big reason why he got the Dakar-II).

    My Night Pictures + Mr.X:










    That BMW jacket that I am wearing btw is a 20 year old Vintage BMW ///M of South Africa jacket, my father said I should have it as it suits the car, and he isn't driving an M anymore(04 330Ci).

    Let me know what you think..

      Yeah I gotta ask my friend for it. I'm all about the hand-plant stuff, just trying to spruce up the photos a bit ;). Thanks for the comps!

          This car has a good story. The M jacket is a nice touch, how did you get that from South Africa? Is this your daily now?

            Congrats on your car! Very cool that it was signed by Lance Armstrong, and even better that your Dad is still around to share it with you. Keep it shiny side up!

                What do you mean fix it? It's perfectly straight and has no fading whatsoever... I think the pictures just make it look crooked sometimes.

                Yes, this car is my daily.. such a hard life, I know ;). My dad purchased it from the ///M division in South Africa I believe..I do not know the full story.

                Thanks guys :)

                            i meant fix the alignment of the ///m badge on the trunk/hatch. shouldnt it be a little more to the left?

                              No, I think the pictures just make it sit weird. But it looks perfect from the rear.

                              S52 in the coupe.
