Paint recommendations for daily driver that is not garage kept

Clean the engine bay. Mine had 35 years of crud and dust buildup - it was so bad the dust had baked itself into the paint. I sprayed heavy duty Gunk all over mine, brushed the Gunk around, waited 20 minutes...

What’s more is that he admitted it had rust. He also doesn’t provide any pics of the interior, undercarriage, or engine bay - automatic red flag right there.

There’s unmolested rust-free...

Unfortunately, I don't have a garage and live in a gated community that is somewhat strict on auto maintenance so I will have to get a shop to paint my car. I will most likely end up going to Maaco but...

This one's been sitting on FB marketplace for a couple of months. The seller is out of his mind if he thinks he'll get $16k for this POS:

Every M20 I’ve listened to sounds like a tractor. I really like the sound, it gives the engine character.

Did your flow tests show whether the SETA manifold flowed better than the regular Eta manifold around the 1000-2500 RPM range? I was interested in doing a conversion at some point to improve low speed...

My car appears to be on what looks like the original paint. I’m amazed at how well this paint job held up over 35 years. However, the paint is slowly starting to fall apart and there is surface developing...

I heard that the Super Eta intake manifold uses skinner intake runners than the regular Eta manifold. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Are there any other differences between the 2 manifolds?

From what I garner, you’re running either a Frankenstein cluster or one pulled straight out of a 325i. The 325e cluster should show the redline at around 4700 RPM. Not sure what else has been done to...

It sounds like you need a new blower motor. If your motor makes a squealing sound on 3 and 4, you definitely need a new motor. Spraying it liberally with electrical cleaner will help make it more tolerable...

Mine was reading that way fully warmed up before I changed the thermostat. Now it’s just a hair past the 1/4 mark fully warmed up. Moves up to between 1/4 and 1/2 during standstill.

Anywhere...

Sort of just chilling. Current company hasn’t axed me (yet), but if they do I’ll just treat the next 6 months of this whole panic as a vacation. I’m working as a web dev contractor in...

Just got 3M Crystalline 70 installed on my side windows and rear window. You can barely tell its there. Already notice a big difference in interior temps. Night visibility is unaffected. Going to eventually...

E30s were designed with the consideration that the driver may use the car to cruise autobahns at speeds of 90-140 MPH smoothly. When you design a car with such a criteria, you have no choice but to make...

That kit looks fine except for the URO hoses. URO pieces are fine in non critical areas but DO NOT use URO when replacing engine parts.

Domesticate 350 wild horses and hook em up to your E30. You now have 350 hp at all times :)

[ZeKahr]

Hope you enjoy the car. I drove one of these a while ago and they’re actually quite fun! Feels like your driving a go kart, just like the E30 does

But for a Mini the Cooper looks pretty......

Wrapped my door handles chrome

Wrapped one of my door handles chrome today to give my E30 an older 60s/70s car appearance. Being that my car is a series 1 that came with old-timey looking chrome trim all around, I think it can pull...
