yeah not hard to reply, lazys

[Vivek]

It's not that it's that hard to reply, it's more having to find a thread, or look for a part that someone wants a quote on…and you're not even sure if you have it or where it could be...

[mbonanni]

What sucks is that the car was so popular and all his thread are so damn long I have to search multiple pages in each thread. I just went through four and came up with what he used the first time around

4-5 cans of rustoleum chalkboard paint. I have no idea how he applied it, and no idea what his second batch of paint was.

looking at factory specs it's like 29 I guess

but I've run both kinds hard, and B35 responds better to chips, and doesn't fall on its face *as much* above 5k

there are numerous hybrid options as well

I love my dirty m30b34.

when did you get a 5er?
also hows your back?

[mbonanni]

Did you swap a b34 into you e30 or your e28?

I bought an e12 6-8 months ago. Just loving it. It's something like an m535i wannabe with Alpina appointments.

Nothing wrong with my back, other than it being on it's 50th trip around the sun. Though I think this question is probably related to my fire sale due to other health issues that I experienced - I'll share just because it was so insane. My stomach, colon and intestine occupied the space where my collapsed left lung was supposed to be (uncollapsed) ....I'm now better than I have been since I turned in the eagle, globe and anchor 25 years ago. Thanks for asking.

[Cabriolet]

ah i couldn't remember exactly but i remember you being down for the count last year (shortly after i bought stuff from you) However, im glad you are feeling better.

[e30vert]

Yeah I recall you going through recovery for those issues when I was up for parts (OEM vert rear wind deflector) on my last visit. Glad things are doing much better.

[mbonanni]

oops I meant e12. lol

And wow! Glad everything is alright after that. I remember when I came and got my motor from you. I couldn't thank you any more for that.

[2mAn]

Have you guys considered taking Highway 25? If you've never driven it, you dont know what your missing #themoreyouknow

[Bimmerman325i]

Too awesome not to share:

[2mAn]

pretty awesome

[Cabriolet]

autox is for me then.
nate should be in wheel to wheel racing

I love my dirty m30b34.

oh man, dirty b34 is a completely different story. awesome motor. better software, higher compression. we have the block of one in the shop right now, with a set of damaged pistons. I'm eventually going to find out if it's possible to get pistons welded back together cause the ones in it are neat forged 94mm bore high comp piano tops.. but two have cracks in the valve reliefs and one has a chunk of it missing.

the M90 is another awesome variant.

most e30s aren't allowed to have these motors in CA, though, unfortunately...


also good to hear your organs are in happier locations!
