What happened now?

The shark has something misadjusted/wrong with the motor, so it gets 12mpg and has no power at all (worse than the eta by far) and the eta is all bent up in the back. I'm too busy at work to fix either of them right now. I might be moving to a place where I don't have parking, either, so I don't even know what will happen at that point.

Gmorning norcal.
(Kronus) im almost in the same spot the apt building I live in cant even see I have my hood up checking the oil because immediately they start asking how long its going to take for me to be done working on my car. I hate it.

That's a crime here in SoCal, finish paint and get it on the road buddy.

In that time, I've replaced damn near everything on that car. Over 8 grand in receipts have gone into building this car and the sad thing is, you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at it. Oh well, labor of love I guess.

I'd offer to take a look at the shark, but I need to get this E30 out of the garage first. Will be free in two weeks, I think.

I 'mkinda having those types of issues but hopefully will be taken care of soon enough.

I know what you mean, most people would die knowing how much money most of the e30 real enthusiasts spend on their cars......but like you said labor of love.

Don't sweat the small stuff dude, just learn to deal with it.

[NuthinFancy]

Yea I don't sweat It to much now I met a few kool kats out here in norcal that like to help out with the e30 so I guess is just whatever.

My m42 318i gets 17 mpg. Is there something wrong?
I try driving it as mellowly as possible...

[Ian Bowers]

Yes. I've driven like an asshole the past two tanks and have still gotten 24MPG.

Either you're running a bit rich or your gauge is messed up. Have you confirmed by counting miles between fill-ups?

that doesnt sound right for that engine. i drive like a a$$ and i get 16mpg with a 325i vert and it has a misfire.

[mkcman17]

Yeah I get 16 driving the way I 'want,' and 21 when I pay attention even slightly, which is no fun. But with gas prices right now...

[cyberkaa]

Not sure what you guys are doing. I'm getting 21mpg driving like an idiot with a 4.10 diff in my 325i. o_O
