No clue on the E30. I did drive it this week.

Pics good sir. I have to live vicariously on the sport bike thing after binning mine at the track, hard. The wife has banned another.

I'd go buy a 1199 today if not.

Those are nice. Too bad the BMW is ugly as sin, I hear its the pinnacle of bikes.

I need to update the pics though; I did a fender delete, relocated the plate and did some chick strip reduction

[110stx]

I'm rebuilding the timing setup on my M42/318is. The car has 160k miles or so, there is a mild rattle at startup on cold mornings that lasts a minute or so ...

Got a big batch of parts coming thanks to M42technic, lining up the specialty tools, bracing myself for the onslaught ...

I've read enough to know those sprockets, guides, tensioner and chain are probably showing some wear. So much for timing-chain engines being better long-term runners than timing-belt engines.

THEN it's time to graft a new floorpan into the driver side of my e30 325i autoX car while the ASTs are off for rebuild/update.

2012 is gonna be awesome.
