    Ever feel like changing gears?

    don't get me wrong, I'm a old school bmw lover...

    however I tend to be finding myself cruising CL and similar for older e28's and some mega old 7 series with M30's in them...

    I picture myself obtaining a M30 manifold and carrying over my turbo kit from my m20T E30 to a overweight luxomoboat with it's plush and oppulent interior.

    fuck I want woodgrain, automatic torque beast that lopes on a angry cam tune.

    I need more room in my home garage to accomodate my daydreams.

    Nothing wrong with building other old BMW's. I have several generations/models myself. I think turbo M30's kick serious ass too

      convert a mega old 7 series to run a supercharged M62 manual and we can get talking.

        E23....have fun with that HVAC!

        Sticky with the e28s. They're the best of both worlds!

                E32 with M30 turbo would mean business.

                    e32 with a manual trans and an M30 turbo with the wearabouts of 450whp and on M-parallels with fat tires and a bit sporty, but not rough, suspension?


                    Yes I can see myself driving that to work everyday

                        I want to build a slammed MGB GT. I've already had a 79 MGB, and my dad has a 73/75 MGB, but no GT's. Would be fun.

                              I may or may not build another E30 Street car at some point.

                              Perhaps I've just grown up, but having a low harsh sports car on the public streets down not do it for me anymore. I adore racing E30's, and Pro3/Chump/Lemons is a GREAT outlet for that..

                              I still love my mtech, and cannot wait to pull it out of retirement for 2012 and put more miles on it.

                              My E28 525i and E34 M5 Touring are just more practical for every day use, they are comfortable, have heated seats, power everything, quiet, smooth, yadda yadda.

                              That being said I still want to build an Mtech-2 320iS replica, and eventually get a 325iX Touring.. however with racing I'll probably just burn all my money on that :D
