Hey guys, just got home to Alameda, California after 5,636 miles and 13 days in my '91 E30 on Friday night.

This was my final route:

Chicago, Illinois (Start)
Indiana (Drove Through)
Michigan (Drove Through)
Ann Arbor, Michigan (Stop)
Ontario, Canada (Drove Through)
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (Stop - 2 nights)
Montreal, Quebec, Canada (Stop - 1 night)
South Burlington, Vermont (Stop)
Boston, Massachusetts (Stop)
Connecticut (Drove Through)
Manhattan, New York, New York (Stop - 2 nights)
South Orange, New Jersey (Stop @ Guten Parts)
Delaware (Drove Through)
Maryland (Drove Through)
Washington, District of Columbia (Stop - 1 night)
Virginia (Drove Through)
Memphis, Tennessee (Stop - 2 nights)
Arkansas (Drove Through)
Texas (Drove Through)
Houston, Texas (Stop - 3 nights)
Las Cruces, New Mexico (Stop - 1 night)
White Sands National Park, New Mexico (Stop)
Tucson, Arizona (Stop)
San Diego, California (Stop - 1 night)
Irvine, California (Stop)
Los Angeles, California (Stop)
Alameda, California (End)

Hilariously, the car ran flawlessly.

Even more hilariously, the car drove 5,630 unscathed until literally the last leg to my parents house when a rock/object flew at my hood and smashed a dent in it.

Anyways, here in the Bay Area until next weekend when I'll be moving to Los Angeles.

Going through ~700 photos right now and will be uploading today!

Wow what a road trip, can't wait to see the pictures. Glad to hear the car ran flawlessly, sorry to hear about the dent in the hood.

If anyone is interested in doing some low key autocross, we are holding another at Sears Point on the 16th. Come on out and have some fun with your E30s

Anyone heard from Dmitriy?

[decay]

I pinged him yesterday about buying the vert roller but haven't heard back yet.

[CarsonE30]

Weigh in on an E38 for me. '01 750iL, definitely a project. 116k miles, transmission is in safe mode and has a CEL on for cylinder bank 1. What does r3v think?

[sonomabimmers]

I had two 740ils and an i. I love e38 chassis it had its problems. But is a blast to drive. Fluid and filter change for the tranny and see what it looks like.

why do you need another car? you just bought a 135i. don't buy the most unreliable thing BMW ever made- start working on what you have.

fuck, man, if you want to buy something, come get my vert roller and put an engine in it.

The more cars you buy, the less money you have to do car things with said cars.

Working on something big right now for the community. Should be out in ~8-12 months. More on this when I have a working prototype - I want feedback from you guys :)

I've just always had a soft spot for the 750 E38's. V12, almost too much room and comfort inside, super smooth, good looking cars even without mods.

The more cars you buy, the less money you have to do car things with said cars.

This is painfully accurate. After daily-ing the 135 for the past few weeks, the thought of selling the iS that I just fucking bought has popped into my head a number of times. Granted, $2000 into E30 mods makes for an astonishingly fun car but the 135 stock has it beat in every way and it is truly the only "new" car that I've ever fell in love with. However, since it is "new" BMW, there is no such thing as "cheap" parts for it. Not that I wanna go crazy with it but an exhaust, JB4 and sticky tires is about the same cost as just buying another damn iS
