learn me on the r107 mercedes

[Atreus]

hey man if you really want to do it, i'm sure you will. that being said, IMO, thats 2200 for the e30. If i had 2200 layin around for my POS car, i'd be a happy man lol.

why throw away bmw money to dump on a merc anyway? lol. make sure you get something you'll be happy with..

Here is my thought. 380SL when they are not having weird expensive fuel injection problems. Sagging spring issues. Not to mention subframe bushings issues. They still are not fun to drive. The parts are crazy expensive, and it cannot move out of it's own way. If I wanted to spend that kind of money, I would at least buy something that is cool and fun to drive when it is all sorted. Like a 2002, 911, E21, E12, etc.

Because sinking money into an e30 isn't wasting money? seriously you'll never get back what you spent so that was a retarded comment.

And he's still not wrong. Pouring money into any car will rarely get you anything extra in the long run. If he wants to throw money at a crappy Merc, go for it. Im sure there's plenty of people saying your stupid for putting money in an E30...

I don't have an e30 but yes they say that about my e38.

Dude, I think the M42 is actually fast compared to the 380. I'm suspect that my kick-down isn't working properly, but it's REALLY slow.

If you love restoring cars, go for the 2002. It'll be a lot more fun in the end.

Thanks, if I don't get the 380sl my dad will probably buy it.

For 2200 you could have 200whp and money to spare.

true true

Go for a 2002, you'll be much happier.

thanks.

Why dont you restore a car that will actually be worth something.

The slow thing doesn't bother me ( insert 318i joke here ). It would just be something to wrench on and restore. I always loved restoring cars with my pops when I was younger. Their is a bmw 2002 for sale nearby and I am going to check it out tomorrow. I have my heart dead set on that thing.

stay away from mercs period
2200 gets ya full suspension work!

[trackjunkie21]

That's 2200 you could spend on your e30.

for now it's done, I have the springs I wanted, everything else will come with a little more cash.

Pass on it. I own an 85 380SL with 128k original miles on it. It's a big, slow cruiser. I've been trying to sell it for 3K and I've gotten no luck -- and the engine is REALLY strong. It just won't pass smog in Cali because of an exhaust leak that I'm too lazy to fix. Mine has the hardtop, and a new-ish vert top.
