Also, there was someone next to me this morning on the bay bridge in a Lachssilber Metallic 325is Coupe, and we had a full on conversation while gridlocked. It was fun.Last edited by chriso; 06-26-2018, 01:58 PM.1986 325e Maaco Black M62 Project [SOLD]

I pass both of these every morning on my bike ride to work. Down by 40th and Shafter.

I was in a red vert with a tan top. I think I've seen the same guy in the same spot before. Whoever you are your car sounds pretty damn good.@IRON-E30 aka Edwin:D

I have a feeling that the E30 that's been parked next to mine is a new tenant at my apartment building. Haven't seem them yet, but they've been parking out front for the whole week, consistently moving, so it must be a Daily Driver, too.1986 325e Maaco Black M62 Project [SOLD]

^Strange to see M tech 1 stuff on an facelift model."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

[QUOTE=wworm;4905576]
This is the one I was talking about, the roofs painted black (idk why) and the fenders look like they were rolled with a brick but its still sick.
Hey I'm a little embarrassed to admit, but that's mine.
The roof? Just another mystery that this car beholds. It is NOT a slicktop, how nice that would be, instead it's sunroof was sealed off then painted terribly by a previous owner. WHY? I still ask myself everyday. It didn't have a handle or anything to open/close it, so I fetched all the parts needed also sourced a new gear box thing-just been too busy to start working and exploring what's up. One of the drain tubes that come from the sunroof into the trunk was also cut, WHY?
No headliner, WHY?
I could go on about this car, still planning on writing about it one day on here and sharing the puzzlement. It was cheap enough and I accepted a challenge I guess.
Anyways, the other 318is down the block is nice though not sure who's it is. Always feel we should go have a beer and moan about our paint woes.

Hello to the gray E30 M3 rolling with a Porsche 356 that honked and waved at me on the 5 near downtown San Diego yesterday morning. Extremely clean, all-original looking car on nogaro weaves.
Cheers for paint woes and fenders rolled by previous owners wielding crude objects.sigpic
