I wouldn't drive janky junk with my kid in the car.

What do you drive again?

No offense to your current situation, I would never, never, never put my child in my coupe. Even if I bubble wrap her and pack the back with peanuts and have the Demolition Man stile crash system, I would not put my baby in a car seat in the back of my car.

You usually roll solo to Van Nuys, but when I saw you drive off last week, I kinda cringed.

Just saying, to each his own.

Something about a 22 year old car with old front seat mechanisms and not enough room to put a rear facing car seat in the middle of the back seat scares the shit outa me.
I have been in the backseat of an e30 during an accident and the backrest of the pass seat with the pass almost broke both my legs with the rear pop out window shattering all on the side of my face.

I believe it's possible but requires a bunch of stuff be rewired or something. Mine doesn't work.

And FWIW I wouldn't put a kid in an E30 if I could avoid it either. These things are tin cans. Did you see the Top Gear where they dropped one on it's roof?

Temporary m20 for now. The m50 will be a summer project.

Mine works

This is a rare thing! I can't say this myself, LOL. My 318i broke right before I got the M3 running.

seriously! i was missing a c-clip and the selector rod fell out while in 5th gear on the fwy. whoever said you can't change out a shift lever on an ix was wrong. didn't even have to stop!

i spy manual flywheel!

Travis is such a tweaker.

caught me.

LMk when you find something. I wouldn't drive janky junk with my kid in the car.
The extended o2 is just temp till i find a cheap I exhaust or get one built. Just so happen it was working and the zip tie holding it much has broke and thus hitting the ground.

your headlights, lol. ;)

Been searching for a head unit for the E36 M3. My demands were a bit tough to meet since I wanted something with rear USB and something that would match the factory dash illumination. I wanted to do these things without spending $300 on a head unit!

Ended up buying the JVC Arsenal KD-A735BT from Crutchfield. Paid $129.99 shipped including install kit (after using $20 discount code I found online). We'll see how it does!

my buddy julian has that in his car, he likes it. but i don't think it has red illumination right?

I don't drive stupid with my kid in the car. There's a reason why I sold my vert for a coupe, so i could fit a larger car seat in the rear. The car seat is strapped in pretty tight, i've got 2 more months till my son is 1 then i can turn that seat around facing forward, and yes there's plenty of room.
