Slammin' e28 syndrome.

[slammin.e28]

So,

I am the loving owner of several cars.

1978 633CSi
1985 535i
1993 Rover LWB
1995 M3
2003 330i

I am coming to the realization that this is an impractical amount of cars for a 23 year old to have and maintain properly.

Basically, I'm saying, instead of having 5 shitty cars, I really want to have one or two that I can enjoy and wrench on.

My quandary:

The 6 I'm so deep into I can't make money selling it. It's not on insurance or registered, so it can sit.

The 535i was my first car, so I'm attached. I'm not above dropping insurance and letting it sit while others take precedence over it.

The Rover I fucking love. I've been DDing it the past couple months, and, other than some previous owner negligence I took care of, it's been a great truck I'd like to hang on to, especially over the Winter.

The M3 I owe money on, thus I cannot remove insurance on it, or registration. It mostly sits in the garage collecting dust.

The 330 is my most reliable, but I own it outright. Sucks in the Winter, but I'm attached to it just for the fact that it's been the best car to me.

I feel like I'm going to be the guy with 50 cars stashed in a barn somewhere that some kid 30 years from now finds and writes a magazine article about.

The problem is I am a hoarder...but I'm so worn down, financially and mentally, from taking care of these objects.

So r3v, what do? I need an intervention.

sell everything, start fresh?

[jakeb]

sell the 330 maybe the m3 too

Then take the money and buy a couple e28s..maybe an 02 as well.

Or just sell the 330 and m3 and make your e28 and e24 perfect

[Pantless Spency]

sell all and buy e30 m3 :ohsnap:

[VinniE30]

Sell everything besides the e28. Then buy an e30.
slammin e28 guy needs an e28. You also need god's chariot.
e28 + e30 is perfect.

[e30jake]

6: keep as project
5: slammin e28 guy must have e28. Store it if you have to
Rover: keep for winter and shit
M3: daily drive when its nice
330: sell

Sell the M3 and get rid of DEBT.

Sounds like you should sell the 6 too but you're already convincing yourself you shouldn't.

Sometimes you have to let go.

Agreed.

Truth. There's a few little things I want to fix on it before I can let it go, but it may be on the chopping block come spring and tax time, although it will be paid off in a year, sooner if I get a nice lump at tax time.

I've got an e30 shell that will be getting a M60, but the problemo is time/money.

The GF just bought an e28 so I can have the 330 back. Gas mileage don't bother me none, I'm getting a steady 15mpg from the Rover.

I honestly can see the e28 and Rover sitting in the driveway. My e28 is faster than my M3, and reliable with the B35 swap. The Rover is awesome for hauling shit and using as a DD mobile.

1. Sell m3, 330 and 6.

2. Make rover and e28 perfect, start/finish m60 swap.

3. Do skids in m60 e30.

well there you go problem solved.


e28.
rover.


m60 e30 shell project.


sell the rest :D

^exactly. I have 3 vehicles right now, e30 m3, e30 325es, and an all american '94 S10. Perfect setup for me although I'm going back and forth on selling the 325es.

Sometimes people like to just own things and dump money and never really enjoy using them. I'm willing to dump money but it has to pay off. I put several thousand into my current DD and love it to death, money well spent in my eyes even though with selling it, I wont get it back.

Compare to: computer programmer/end user, rc modeller/rc flyer, guy with car in garage for 20 years tinkering/dude who buys an $800 e30 and drives the shit out of it.

There's nothing wrong with the "tinkerer" of the two but I prefer to spend most my time on the other side of things. Also, if you haven't come in contact with something in over a year it's probably time to sell it. That's what I've been doing with a lot of my non-car stuff.

I like this. I may see about selling one of the cars to the shop I work at. My mom has a 325xi and has expressed interest in my 330 as well, kinda keep it in the family. The 325 hasn't been very good to her anyways.

M3 I love, but I'm not as attached to it. It's such a great driving car, but is disposable.

[redsubdivisions]

Focus on one thing at a time. I'm 24 and have an E46 and an E30 and I think those are enough as it is, but you....oh no, you have 6 cars. lol

[VinniE30]

Yeah i'm 23 too and i'm fine with having 2 e30s. Only 2 spots in my garage and I hate keeping cars outside. I'd actually like to eventually just have one so I can focus more on it.
You live at your own place right?
