The MR E30 Project Thread

[MR E30 325is]

E36s have a reputation of blown head gaskets I've heard. I had a 98 328iC that I got lucky with but I got an offer I couldn't refuse so I let it go. Kinda regret it.

Man, these suckers have a reputation for all sorts of bad things.

But thankfully I have my E30 to balance out all the crap.

1 E30. 3 days. 1200 miles. One flawless road trip. I am pretty sick and tired of driving though. And I love driving.

Went snowboarding for the first time in my life. I had a blast.

I didnt get told that the road to the ski resort was a dirt one, but by the time we got there it was much too late. So nothing else to do but trudge along and push it through.







Needless to say I received a few awkward looks as I slowly manuevered through the snow and mud. LSD kept me from getting stuck, like a few other unfortunate people.

Like I said earlier, flawless trip. Not one hiccup with the E30. All that maintenance paid off!!!

Anyways, had a good time with you guys coming out. Look forward to do it again in the future.

Nice vid, the snow looks like it was a fun drive and showed them what an e30 can do :P

I had no idea what to expect next with the M3, but it decided for me. Go out to drive it today and the alarm won't disengage. So I go grab the other remote for it and nothing either. Pop open the door and i have no power whatsoever. So I know what I get to do! Time to rip shit apart and really fix this problem. Damn E36's

Well one thing can be said definitively. The PO of my M3 was, and probably still is, a complete idiot.

He did an M50 manifold swap on the S52 and installed a water temp, oil temp and oil pressure gauge.

I would have to think very hard to remember seeing crappier worksmanship on a vehicle.

Needless to say I am finding lots of things to fix and do correctly the second time around. I might be able to finally fix all the problems with the damn thing.

Stay tuned for some progress. I feel like I am letting all of you down. My thread used to be full of such awesome updates. Not anymore........
