There was 97 in total. The 1st pic was just the Monterey/King City area guys. We waited for the way up north guys, 3 from Medford, a bunch from Chico and Napa area, a few guys from Nevada, tons of guys from SoCal and the Bay Area. I only took pics at that wharf spot because the lighting was so perfect. But yeah, there were 2 '99 M3's but nothing older than the ancient '97. An 02 dropped in for about 20 minutes then took off but I didn't get any pics of it. We all stayed in the same hotel in SLO and I think everyone brought back a Cal Poly girl at some point in the night. We had the cruise control at 90 from Paso to SLO with the occasional 120 runs thanks to spotters staying about 5 miles ahead of us, no tickets were given, tons of backroad drives, loads of cool people. Already counting down for next year.

There are some awesome roads to drive in the SLO area. I bet I could link together 150 miles of fun stuff without doubling back on any road. I lived down there for 9 years. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could find a job.

2 days and 650 miles, not counting the 100 there and 100 back, we found some gold mine roads and had such a great time

PM Toodaloo, he had a perfect dash a few months back, not sure if he ever got rid of it

To trade my e30 for an 02' 6 speed e46 m3 or not to... Hmm.

Do it. Absolutely. Do it.

Nah, it was cracked, but the cracks were filled with gold silicone. #wabisabi

I'm thinking about it. It's like a dark blue color with a clean title, 132k miles, and he wants a small amount of cash in my end.

[2mAn]

do it before he realizes how much better the S54 is than the M20

This is the main reason.

Any history on it? Mods, records, pics? The fact that it's a 6 speed and not an SMG is a MASSIVE plus.

[2mAn]

exactly, get a PPI before you sign over your title. be ready for more things to maintain, but I would do it if I was in YOUR shoes.

[meppadua]

Anyone know where i can rent a cherry picker/engine hoist for a couple of hours?

[CarsonE30]

Especially once that odo hits 160k but if it's been kept in solid mechanical shape, you shouldn't have anything to worry about
