I just put a price together for a m20 t-belt package if my shop would do it, $650. It's listed at 3.5 hours for just the belt but you have factor in seals and water pump, plus bleeding the cooling the system.

I think doing a timing belt/ water pump job is a right of passage into E30 life. If you can do it on your own, then most of the work that needs to be done on the car will be within reach and you will have that fun car you thought it was. If you cant do it on your own, then you are probably going to get frustrated with all the little shit that goes wrong and you will want to sell it and get a honda instead.Simon

This is pretty accurate. And honestly, as far as timing chain/belt jobs go... it's a pretty easy one.Originally posted by 2mAn View PostComment

Fucking hate working on my own shit anymore. Don't ever make your hobby your job. I have little to no desire to finish any of my own projects anymore.Originally posted by kid325e View Post'72 2002 pickup | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '01 Z3M | '11 328xi-t

My red car and silver car will be my last E30 builds (unless another M3 falls in my lap, but I highly doubt that), and who knows if I will ever begin my '55 truck or '49 Olds coupe.Originally posted by Keith M View Post'72 2002 pickup | '88 M5 | '89 330is | '89 M3 | '01 Z3M | '11 328xi-t

Always wanted to be a tech. The way things worked out I became a Parts Manager. Looking back, i'm glad it went the way it went because I get to talk cars all day, never turn a wrench, and when i'm off work - that's all I want to do!Originally posted by Austin! View Post
Funny when I was growing up I always wanted my hobby to be my job. Now I understand, that it can really work against you!
