4 is the perfect number


"going out car"
off roading adventure car
fun car for twisties
shit box turd truck to haul shit and parts

I think I need to sell 3 cars but can't decide what to sell because everything is either useful or I like it.

We need a list of the cars along with a one-liner about why it SHOULD stay. Then we can tear it all apart.

3-cars is a good max to stick to (not including Wifeys' 1-car (because they arent stupid like us)

[Chilezen]

If you lost all those cars in a fire, what would you miss most?

[Northern]

Christ I've been at the "clear all the e30 shit out of the basement" side quest for a few years and I can't even see an appreciable difference.
Basically committed to sticking with one e30 because whenever I have more than one, I seem to exclusively work on the shittiest one, and I want to do more lower risk/family friendly off-roady stuff, but now I'm off the deep end with that and still for some reason have another "fun" shitbox that breaks faster than I can fix it.

Sorta a "don't meet your heroes" situation eh? Since you had the 328 like others said, driving back to back it could do damage to the aura.

Yes exactly.

Looking back, the reason I liked the E36 chassis in the first place was nostalgia, and also that it reminded me of my E30.

Now that both E36 are gone, I just have to get rid of all the spare parts in my basement. That's a winter job for sure!

[E30 Wagen]

That just sounds like US M3 cope honestly

I think maybe some of you are coping with not buying one when they were cheap. I know I am. Been daily driving my 328is manual for over 10 years, 90k miles, and it's been really solid and cheap to run. Currently at 240k miles and it feels like it'll do a million more. So the NA M3 didn't get the the s50, but you're still getting a good 50hp over the 328, along with the LSD, better brakes, suspension, wheels, vader seats, mtech bumpers, etc etc. I think it's a package that proved itself very well, which is why so many got driven to death and now there's hardly any good ones left. The way so many look down their noses at the M3 is the most annoying BMW snob thing among BMW fans.

Quoting isn't working for me but:

Yeah I'm not sure.
Kind of a mix of sadness and acceptance getting rid of what I had built up as my realistic dream car.

Even if I was in perfect health and it didn't hurt my back to drive it, it was totally underwhelming.

It's been like 10 years since I sold it but the s52 in my m coupe felt like "enough" but the drama of that car was definitely the looks above all which made it special.
TBH, right now I wish I had that car back even if I didn't have an E30 ////gasp. But yeah rest up and I mean at least you have working project cars and stuffs to enjoy right?
Sometimes too many projects are life suckers.

Summer got here and I'm just not making progress (like 112 but index feels like 117 today?) and I am behind on stuff yet again, need to fully insulate garage and get ac working again in there.
Then I dunno, like bribe people with quality brews and/or food to join me in said garage to push me to work on cars or something. I feel like I've just become a tool collector almost and that makes me feel ick and wasteful.
lol, so yeah as I get older I think I start to understand our seasonal summer depression thing is real

[MrBurgundy]

yeah fr lol

the euro s50b32 made insane power as an NA engine for the time.

i think we're talking like less than a 15hp difference than the following s54

I get were Jason is coming from, but 10/10 times I would choose the euro version

[econti]

Wasn't it Jason Camisa's hot take that the US m3 is better to live with than the euro cars? Sure, they're down on power and don't have ITBs, but they're based on a dead-reliable engine, just keep working without a ton of maintenance, and are cheap/easy to repair. The euro motor is a race engine that requires extra attention and parts are crazy expensive. Sure the euro car is cooler and faster, but the US care is easier to own.

Also, I've never owned an e36 and don't have a horse in this fight.

That just sounds like US M3 cope honestly

[2mAn]

Haha what are you trying to do to me?!

dont listen to him, he only likes red cars

[Panici]

On to the next one!... simplifying things is good

It is nice to have free driveway parking for once!

Naw

don't listen to simon

amplify things- get another motorcycle and a car that doesn't work

Haha what are you trying to do to me?!

Already have four motorcycles if you count the trackbike I've never used and the parts bike that doesn't run.
And the miata's engine is still blown up and it's sitting in my driveway.

That sure sounds like Jason Camisa, he's good at specious statements.

the US M3 is better to live with than the Euro M3 because it's is only partly an M3

And an apartment is easier to live with than a house, it's kind of missing the whole point.
