Do the sports seats go any lower than the non-sports seats? My car has tan standard seats, they're not so comfortable, and I hit my head when I wear a helmet.

If you can say yes, I'm interested.

I've had both sports and comforts in the same car, and sports don't go any lower. You need a cheap racing seat with a custom mount Hans. That'll get you lower.

I think I saw you parked at MSOE about 5 weeks ago (first day of class). If not then there is another red one running around downtown.

Not likely that was me. I'm architecture student at UWM.

So, I don't really feel like going through the effort of a proper introduction at the moment... as such I'll just say my name is Tom and I've been around e30's for a couple years now and picked up a 90 325is in brilliantrot/natur this summer. I live now near capitol and humboldt in MKE. I've met some of you before, but at the time I owned a Volvo.

I have a few leather sport seats in my garage that I would like to see go away. Two are tan leather heated sport seats that originally came out of don's track car and then lived in my volvo for about a year. Driver seat has a tear in the left bolster. Passenger seat is good.

The third seat is a black leather sport seat that is in mediocre shape IIRC.

If you want them, let me know. Give me $40 and take them all away please.

I'm interested, maybe pick up this weekend?

They are pending sale. If it falls through I will let you know.

Pity. I was hoping for magic here.

Tom- I just graduated from the UWM Arch program in 2008, and I think I saw you driving today at like 11:30 near campus! Nice looking car you have! What year of arch school are you in over there?

Thanks! I think we met at the badgerbimmers show at concourse a couple years ago. And yes, that would have been me this morning. I was leaving a meeting at school.

I just transfered to UWM for Architecture last year; previously I was studying Industrial design. So this is my second year in that program, and unfortunately I am stuck in the doldrums of 310. Who knows how much longer they are going to make me take to get through the program. I'm waiting for something challenging to come along, sophomore studio is a joke so far.

Don't tell me you are in the barn? Talk about bumping arms. Don't worry the program gets more and more time consuming every semester. Difficult? Well that depends on your genius. The professors definitely expect more the longer you are there. Take some higher level courses as soon as you can. I know you don't get to pick your professors at that level, but when you do, I'd recommend:

Gil Snyder
Don Hanlon (will kick your ass)
Mark Keane (for the FLW classes)
Jim Shields
Matt Jarosz (for the Competition classes, they are fun!)
Harvey Rabinowitz

The I did the program in 4 years (starting as a Freshman, not even in 310) and I could have probably done it in 3 1/2 if I didnt take 12 credit semesters all the time. So like 3 years for you, tops, for the BSAS.

[straight6pwr]

oops double post!

[SwedishDeserter]

Yes, unfortunately I am in the barn... Mark Keane is great, I am taking Green Architecture with him right now. I just wish I could say the same of my section teacher in 310.

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely keep those professors in mind!

Not much I guess....

[ten2doyle102]

Not much happens up here.... especially now since its getting colder....

[mertondude]

I know...

I might be going to help a buddy in Madison go to IL to pick up an e30 roller. It's a red 2dr small bumper car. LMK if anyone is looking for parts off of it. It's pretty rust free. He wants the sport seats and I want the front fenderzz.

Are you guys keeping your e30s out for the winter?
