I loved the Manual and the M54 in my E46 Wagon do it AbeSonic

Do whut? It's got some nice DS2's wheels on it and they look pretty sick. If I had piles of money I'd like to put it on airbags so I could RAISE it or dump it when I need to.

The old man in me appreciated not having to row through gears in traffic lol

Wagon life = best lifeee

I'm happy with my E46iT even though its slow as balls. But that's not what its MEANT for so honestly I don't mind.

Did any of y'all go to Wagonfest?

I was going to go with my s4 but ended up in the garage, like most weekends. Seems like I either have to choose between car shows or getting shit done on cars. I'll be honest, being at dirtfish didn't really make the choice any more difficult. That place is great, but hell on lowered clean cars.

I do and hopefully I can keep it running forever!
It's still my DD, but I've been wanting to take it off the road to address a couple of things. So, I'm needing something to hold me over while I work on it.

There was a black on black E34 wagon I didn't catch soon enough a couple of months ago in PDX.

Been looking, for what seems like forever, for a BMW, but everything is priced to the moon or is an absolutely dumpster fire of a car.

Owned a MT 2.0T A4 avant and really didn't enjoy the car. Test drove a couple of V70Rs that i wanted to like so badly, but too many little things I disliked... Stuck with trying to find a BMW for now.

do you no longer own an S50 powered early sedan?

E34 wagon

yeah, I think I missed the last one in the state about 5 years ago. Then one showed up in the local junkyard last winter...

So I settled for an E39 wagon. Even those are getting harder to find at 'project' prices. I'm not in love with the steering ratio,
but as a cruiser, it does all right.

I miss my E30, not gonna lie... but I cant stand dealing with smog so now my fun car is smog exempt ...

I was tempted to get a 4door 324D (smog exempt in California) before I bought my Alfa. It looked like it had some rust... so instead of buying that I bought a rusty Alfa Romeo lol

Sounds like sound logic

In other news, my ZHP is up for sale and I got some nibbles. Gonna make a couple pile-o-money happen soon and finally investing into a certain sad delphin gray savings account that's been long neglected.

I don't miss my E30 at all.

Anyone got a 'mild' project car they are wanting to part company with?

Seems like a long shot, but I seem incapable of finding a car on my own. And as many threads have been pointing out recently, it feels like all the forums are dying out.

I'm looking for an E30 non-vert, E34 wagon, or possibly an E39 (sedan or wagon). I'd prefer the 6cylinder and MT in all cases, but will entertain AT and 8cylinder cars.

[bmwm42]

Fuck you assholes.

[2mAn]

Yeah I think everyone migrated to the FB pages and I quit the FB some time ago. I finally picked up some pieces for my E30 and remembered this little site and its plethora of knowledge.

How's SoCal handsome?

F-FB... hopefully more adults come to their senses... I dont think the kids use it... or do they? thought it was just for boomers and fake news now...

anyways, you need to take a trip down here for the SoCal Vintage BMW show. Amazing BMW, warm weather and then the Best of France and Italy car show the next day.
