Dream come true- E30M3 Content Inside

What a beauty! Maybe 2021 is the year?

Thanks! And man, I’m hoping. She’s been asleep for far too long. It is my own fault for taking on too many projects.

Your red M look better than mine.
I thought about KW coil overs. I’m still deciding about KW or GC.

I think the KWs are a better choice than GC for M3s. They’re nearly the same price as GC, but you get to keep your stock housings/Ackerman arms. I couldn’t imagine cutting up a set of M3 housings for GCs unless you had a beat up spare set.

Yearly update. Still sitting in the same place. Will 2023 be the year of the M3?

Only time will tell.

Don’t make me come out there

[mjweimer]

Make it happen.

Ticking away the moments that make an E30.

At least it looks like it being well preserved for time next space in time for when you’re ready.

I'm with you. My e30 has been untouched since before this thread started. :(

R3v partai - if I didn't need to rebuild the s14 I would've taken Austin up on his offer too

Make it happen.

My goal was to bring it home after I went home for the holidays, but alas, my plan did not work. Had a few car deals get postponed and didn't have the spot open up in the garage :(

Yes, my pop's garage is an ideal spot for a dormant build.

Not too worried about missing memories with the ole gal yet, as most of the memories to be made in stage 1 will consist of spending wheel barrow loads of money. Gotta peel the bandaid off at some point, though.

Yep, that's the way the cookie crumbles, sometimes! I've made an effort to keep cars around I can jump in and drive which has been rewarding, but anything that requires ample time (this car) falls to the backburner.

the only way to own an m3, personally. hell yes!

[parkerbink]

Wow! Quite the journey! Will she run in '23?

sure is!! absolutely stoked on it

Wow! Quite the journey! Will she run in '23?

that's the goal! 2023 is the year of the unhoopty. If engine yoda finishes the s14 rebuild in a timely manner (he wont), and if the project doesn't spiral out of control too hard (it will), we may hear it run in '23.

Steps 1-7 are purging myself of shitboxes, so that's currently what is on the docket

[hozzziii]

Come on man don't get too held up in the small details, drive it man!
I mean get the engine in there and get it going!
Don't waste time. Seriously.
Just get it running and start driving, and fix the little things along the way, not before starting. Because we all know too well there's aaaalways something to fix.
If you wait and just keep fixing stuff then it'll be too nice to drive and you'll get mad offers and then sell it and then regret selling it the instant it's gone... Just have fun with it.

Also the rear parcel vents are upside down, how could you do this?
