Hey everyone! I've been DD'ing an e30 for about the past 13 years and have been pretty active in the e30 scene over on r3vlimited. I've had about 5 e30s including an m30b35 swapped convertible and had plans to turbo my '91 325i coupe. I'd finished building my MegaSquirt and had 95% of the turbo parts sitting on my shelf.
Left side is the 1989 325iA sedan and right is the 1991 325i coupe:
A 2014 335i 6mt came up for sale through a friend of a friend, but I really didn't need a third car. Then my coupe got totaled in a head-on crash by someone who didn't yield.
Suddenly I needed another car (something always breaks, so you can't have just 1 e30). After a ton of research, I ended up with my f30. It's been insane to jump 25 years of improvements and it feels like I'm driving a spaceship.
Here's a shot of the f30 and remaining e30:
I decided that I'd just drive it stock and enjoy a comfortable, fast, and reliable car. Well it's been a couple of months, and now I'm looking into BM3 vs MHD, m-sport brake upgrades, and bolt-on upgrades. I have a feeling this is going to be a slippery slope.
I guess I'll start a build thread to document my adventures!
