Colorado general chat...

Dudes, I got impulsive today. Emailed a guy about an E36 M3 that is mildly track prepped (more auto cross really). '95, 190K miles, Koni S/A shocks, harness bar, few other mods. Thinking with tax return coming and possibly selling my E30 I could swing it. I don't want to sell the E30, but I might be reluctantly willing to to have something more usable on the track.

If you can swing it I would go for it. You aren't too deep in your E30 yet.

:zzz:

I am convinced time has stopped.

Link to M3?

Only thing that worries me besides the miles is the harness bar. Is it a roll bar like my car or just a harness bar?

Miles aren't bad, they just mean the car will need lots of wear items replaced (clark, roland, chris, and I can all help/give pointers).

[blefevre]

Roland told me there are...19? bushing in the rear. I would check those out.

Seriously. 7 minutes between clock glances felt like 30. I've never been this excited to go to class, ever.:loco:

Ya, 19, if you count subframe, shock, trailing arms upper and lower, diff. There's...a few. All of mine need replacing soon anyway.

[blefevre]

Yeah, and here I don't want to replace the six that are in the subframe/TA, lol. Lazy me.

M5 Ute. I want.

Did you see the E9X M3 ute spotted on the ring earlier this week?

I don't have a link. Not sure if he even still has it. It's a harness bar, not a roll bar. I would need some investment on my part to get it up to spec, but it will be a really good starting point if I can get if for the right price.

I would ask $4000 to $5000 for my E30 w/ seats, wheels, and wiper system, but more realistically sell it stock starting at low $3's and $1200 for wheels, $400 for seats, $3-400 for wiper system.

Plus $1800-1500 for my cross bike.

Plus tax return to make up the difference.

In the words of George Constanza it's nothing more than masturbation at this point!

[blefevre]

I could be interested in the seats.

Hm, good plan.

If you do sell the seats, I'd be VERY interested in them for the scoob.

Damn and blast.
