I think I have the itch for boost. S52 is plenty of fun to get in trouble, but I think once I get my current car in a good spot with all the small things buttoned up... I'm either going to look for another chassis and M50 to throw in it, or go away from the E30 chassis for something else I could boost on a budget, while I'm learning how it all works. Until then, I'll just keep wringing out the S52 and sending it. Done so much work to this car the past winter, I need to slow down and enjoy it for a bit lol.

Depends on what you want to do with the car. The E30 is capable, but won't compare to something newer around the track (for example).
Definitely take the time to drive and enjoy it. I haven't done that enough with my E30 since it was painted.
Took on too many cars/motorcycles at once!

Yeah, the one main thing that is never going to change is availability. E30 chassis and parts are ever dwindling.
I think I want to own a 135i big single turbo eventually. You can find E87 chassis all over the place for dirt cheap. And parts are still pretty available. The engine just becomes the big question of reliability. I don't know.
My goal is still a streetable car for backroads. Not daily driver, but not racecar. I don't want a full track build.
I've talked about the other turbo car I want to own in another thread. A fiesta ST, and throw a bigger turbo on it. Similar availability as the E87 chassis, but maybe even less were sold.
I think the ultimate cheap chassis right now is the E90. They are pretty bloated, but there are so god many parts cars out there, that you wouldn't have to worry about price hikes for a decade or so probably. An 335i sedan with a 6 speed could be the move89' Build
