    Yea I like my Daily for those creature comforts, luckily its not totally boring to drive... but its no E30. I think an E30 can be an awesome daily, if you have restraint in the mods

      Lol every time I pick up an e30 I'm like, "time to make it loud and uncomfortable!"
      Expect my vert. 100% stock and it made an awesome daily. Love that thing, but the e39 is took over, because more doors for more whores.

      Those abarths are pretty cool and pretty damn quick! Congrats! Sometimes I wish my genesis didn't get totaled, having a brand new car is pretty awesome.

        I'm pretty stoked about the Abarth, but yeah man it's definitely no e30! I hate having 2 cars in LA, but I really can't see myself letting go of the Bimmer anytime soon. Plus, now I have more time for longer projects, like a potential future head swap :pimp:

          Are you trying to do an 885 swap?

            I've got a spoiler, how much were you looking to pay for one?

              Simon burned the idea in my head to do a 731 swap a while back. I'd highly consider going down that road at some point.

                Do a compression and leak down test first to see how healthy the bottom end is

                    I might go, if I find the time to wash my car.

                    Did you pick up an e30 yet?

                          For sure. I'm not going to consider a head swap for at least a few months anyway.

                          Wish I could make it to the Garagistic Show, but SDCC is this weekend :o

                                Damn, that's super close to me. I don't know if I would be able to cruise with anyone to this. BUT I'll most likely attend
