    oh I forgot, you have an E30 M3 now, so you're automatically superior to all of us. :p
    If I owned an iX and the front diff went bad, I'd have to sell my M3 to be able to afford a new one... man, that'd suck!

          Wow! The car looks brand new! Awesome! If you don't mind me asking, how much did this cost you?

                WOW!!! What you've done is short of incredible James. I wish I had that amount of time to do what you did. Your car is an excellent example of dedication and drive for perfection. I need to shoot you a PM so you can explain to me how you did all your engine work. Awesome job.

                        That motor, GC Coilvers, E34 M5 3.8L Brakes. New cars have no soul, and I cannot buy something fast, I gotta build it.

                          I betcha you'll be at 70K with a s38b38 if you rebuild it. It'd be batshit insane fast, though.
