If this were a little cheaper it’d be a fun project
‘84 E30.

That seems like a fair price to me, all things considered. E30s used to be disposable beaters, but not so much anymore.

 

4cyl is a hard sell for me in an E30, even the E30 M3 got heavily criticized for using a 4banger rather than the inline 6

 

Yeah that was my thought, but if it were cheap I thought it could be a fun little light restore/summer drive then swap. Ive just always had a soft spot for the body.

 

@Speedytech7 I remember seeing this one (325e) on Petrolicious. I dunno, something about the 2 door. A hint of 2002 with all that glass and height. Clean.

 

I really like the Alpina style wheels on that.

 

Beat me to it by seconds

 

I have changed camps from buy whatever wheel fits for the cheapest price to maybe buy wheels you like

 

There's something to be said for just getting it done and getting out there for the cheapest possible... but at the end of the day you're just gonna buy again to make it something you like so if you're not getting out there anyway, buy what you like instead even if it takes a little longer.

 

Boosting at all with just a piggyback is like applying the biggest bandaid you can find to a missing hand.

The major shortcoming is that you're basically prohibited from tuning and adjusting fuel unless your foot is to the floor. It gets less and less ideal the sooner your boost comes on, like you'd assume

 

y r u calling me out like this

 

@Speedytech7 do I need a proper steering wheel puller for a yota wheel or can I be a hack mechanic

 

I just make the nut loose and use both hands to shock it on opposite sides at the same time. Comes right off. But if you ask Tyler it requires a puller, impact gun, and face shield.

 

Perfect, i think i can manage that. My ebay tilt column showed up and it even came with the rare 95-97 intermittent wiper switch as a surprise lol

 

I don't know what this is but I know it's a bad idea
