    not bad, considering how straight it is, super clean interior, good top, and really low miles.

    my plans include coil overs, wheels, S50 swap, and a few little odds and ends...
    I don't think you will enjoy the car with those mods.. To me a cabriolet should drive like an old british roadster, light, just enough power and correct handling. I've done this with my cabrio in my sig which is m40 powered, 115hp.. but is a truly awesome car to drive when the weather is nice. If you put too hard of suspension on a cabrio, I had koni adjustables on mine for a while, it will sound like a shitbox from all the rattling and chassis flex. My recomandation, get mtech springs, new shocks, a mint leather interior, a lighter (m20) flywheel, a nice stainless exhaust and a wind net...
    anyways, just my 2 cents.

    sweet ride,
    Julien

          think vlad was trying to help his buddy sell that for 10k... LOL @ 4100!


          Looks clean though. Shame about the title. If you treat this car half as good as you did your red e30 it will definately be sexy!

              This the one?



              Just watch the profile gasket stuff, oil pan bolts and the timing chain and guides and you should be ok. :)

                Wow, that's very clean. I love the color.

                It's a bit of shame you're going to be yanking out such a low-mileage M42, but I'm sure a S50 will be much more fun. Hopefully the old motor will go to a good home.
