        Okay so I think we've figured it out.
        He needs to get a 2014 BMW GT-B M3 GTR with a 98 low mileage Civic swap for $5k, spend $5k fixing it up for hypermileing at the track, and then his last $10k on 400 dildoes.

          Go to any REI in the PNW and it's like a Subaru convention. lol

          mmmhmmm. I never got over 24 MPG on my EJ22 legacy.

                e36 m3.
                put a vortec super charger on it.

                slide the shit out of it at the track until the chassis cant take anymore damage.

                put the engine into a $500 e30.


                this could probably be done for like 7.5k lol.

                    $10k budget on a car - what do you buy?

                    I got my 04 m3 for under $10k.. Clean title, 6sp, Texas car with 100k miles. Only issues I've found with car are that some asshat stole all the brackets for the shit in the trunk and I replaced a belt tensioner.

                    Bought it off a car dealers son whose daddy just cut him off financially and needed monies. It's doable if you look hard enough.

                      nice.

                      at 100k miles though, I'd be looking at doing rod bearings, vanos hub, valve adjustments, waterpump, etc. so probably $2-3k in maintenance all said and done. :(

                          E46m At 100k = diff is done; the pinion bearings will be going and the right axel will wobble significantly up and down compared to left; the spiders get worn down.

                          Common fault of the M variable; just like s54 rod bearings and vanos bolts failures (personally had engines with both).


                          The rear subframe bushes and body side needs reinforcement as well.

                          If in there.....and doing it right

                          5 large is very easily spent.
