      Not purist, just dont believe in 24v's in every E30. Plus I dont like how they sound.
      When I was a broke ass kid I use to come up with silly excuses like these why my M20 then my M42 was better than everything else. Granted we have discussed this in PMs and I am just beating a dead horse. Just enjoy this car and don't crash it after a meet ;)


      TL DR: Built 32v > Built 24v > Built 12v > Built 16v imo

        Good Point, Id take a Built 32v though ;) M62/S62 would be crazy.

            The ride was incredible with that suspension set up, time and time again I forgot I was driving a wagon around. For $150+oem stock suspension I would say you made out from this deal quite well my friend!

              You know, there are other V8s....cheaper, more reliable, higher performance, and more efficient too....

              I'd like to see more electric e30s. 100% of torque at 1rpm is addictive.

                    E30s arent aerodynamic enough to warrant all the work to convert IMO.

                      San Francisco was a good move for you.

                        Some people were obstinate when the electric starter came out too.
