Same happened here. They must have just superseded it. No more poppin bottles.

Can someone help me find a part? Looking for the door latch striker for an early model.

Realoem doesn't give a part number.

I had bought a new one from FCP that says it would fit an 87, which it might, after the mid-year refresh, but not my car.



So, yeah.

F you BMW

Whoop, I got a part number now, but no eta on stock.

Alright has anyone bought from BMW Parts Deal .com? They claim to have it.

I want to drive an e30m3 someday, but can't imagine owning such a special car and feeling like I need to protect it to keep it nice. Then again, given the opportunity to buy a cheap shell or car without a driveline, I'm sure I'd jump on it and would probably get used to driving it around as much as my e30.

[Chilezen]

The only reason I would want an E30 M3 is because of the improved aerodynamics of the rear window/trunk. I like my car the way it is otherwise.

The E36 M3 was a good "don't meet your heros" car for me.

It does feel special over a 328i, but (at least the north american S52B32) doesn't feel worlds different then a breathed on M52B28.
And for me, the suspension was way too "sporty" aka harsh on my back for me to enjoy the car.

My 1999 M3 is pending sale as we speak.

we are back right in middle class in the 2020s.

By now, the 'middle class' is a vanishing class... prove me wrong.

poor, again.

My struggle to tolerate 2 hours of that group aside, that's a pretty crappy list. First of all, who the heck overhypes the Delorean? They're basically the poster car for looking good but being awful. Everyone knows it's crap = by definition not overhyped. I haven't driven enough "hero cars" for my list to be meaningful to most, but I'd agree the E30 M3 probably belongs in the top 5 because there's no way it lives up to the hype. I also don't think actually know anyone who loves the McLaren SLR, even when they were new my friends and I watching top gear found them pretty ugly, and their values seem to reflect that, pretty low for a 2000s halo car. Another puzzling choice especially at #1.



If you're sticking around for my list that is 3/5 cars I haven't driven:
1 - Bugatti Veyron (I can't get past how ugly it is, 250mph is not enough to outrun the ugly)
2 - MKIV Supra
3 - any Mclaren with fewer than 12 cylinders (making fast boring, they all look and sound almost the same and they are everywhere here)
4 - E30 M3 (impossible to live up to the apocalyptic levels of hype)
5 - VW type 1 (VW beetle love is borderline pathological, they're a cultural phenomenon, but I've driven one and it is the kind of thing you only need to experience once because it's just bad)

Its a double-edged sword, because you want to support the vendors who support us, especially small businesses located here... but then theres sacrifices you have to make... I like that I can go locally and pick them up.

Who else is there? Condor Racing? Ireland Engineering? Could say the same about all of them...

Agree with Garagistic, but my subframe mounts didn't survive the installation process.
Obligatory plug for Revshift and AKG for top quality bushings... just skip the guibo.

Meh, it's neat and it would be appreciated as a gift, but it doesn't really look like an m3 to me. A better livery would have been cool. I'm glad they did it, but it's also not the best.

[Chilezen]

Lego has released their own official E30 M3 for you to build.. if you're into that sort of thing. To do with you kids or wife or whatever :) https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/bmw-m3-e30-77263
