E30 to m5

[mcdougal]

This has blue trimmed seats right? I talked to this guy about the car quite a bit but didn't pull the trigger. Seems like a good deal for the mods already being done. Post more pics!!

It's really that much to replace the timing chains?

Most shops worth their salt won't touch the job with a 10 foot pole for under $3000-3500

That's why I ultimately decided on the 540i vs an M5

[kye]

i liked the heated steering wheel on my 540i. boss.

i had a 97 540i 6 last year that i got for 1500 because it had been hit on the left doors.

after bouncing off the rev limiter on a 5 percent grade completely sideways while burning out at the top of second ~ 67mph i decided i want an m5.

ive only had it two weeks or so but would venture to say i could invest another 8400 in maintenance tomorrow and still be happy with my purchase. this car is a monster. i cant wait to buy that ls1 e30 in tempe. then im gonna take them both to some events.

let me also say i would never have the balls to get any bmw over 2k$ if not for the amount of information i have absorbed through this forum since i got my project e30 in 2010. i lurked so long i didn't even make an account for a few years because although my love for e30s was real, my knowledge was shite.

so props dudes, you guys are super smart. oh yeah and funny. this is the first forum ive used and i think it is a great place.

i now feel comfortable with anything up to e39 m5s obviously. i grew up in the 90s so i guess i have a love for anything pre 2002 which is when i graduated high school.

im a pretty chill guy, dont really have any friends since i quit drinking 6 years ago. why not invest all my extra money into cars i love? i dont have kids, never will, and have never believed in buying shit for women.

if anyone wants to go cruise or see some hidden twisties in eastern wa when they come to chelan im down to rip.

Fs 9500

Fresh oil change. I've put about 900 miles on it so roughly 155k. I'm offering it to r3v members that I like at this price before it goes on Craigslist. I am willing to provide more information by pm or phone. I am only selling because I could use the money to buy moar cars.

Will post more pics I'm not in a hurry to sell and won't put it on Craigslist until tax return time.
