C'mon now 6 is barely a start. My first job was as a shop monkey for a guy with 63 cars that are plated, insured, and drivable. ;)

Haha yes, that is the way I like to think about it. This is just the start to a proper collection :)

I may have to make some room for it, but I'm not sure yet. I don't really have anything I'd like to part with :/

There are 4 and 6 cylinder versions of that valve cover. I can neither confirm or deny which one it is though or what body it's in :)

Too many options! (at least for the 6 option)
'BMW M POWER' or 'M POWER'?

I have a better one that the wife insists is looking for a new home. You're one of the few I'd feel OK selling it to. Lemme know if you're interested.

Haha man, I totally would LOVE to own it, but I was already out of space before the M3, plus I can't afford it honestly. I gotta have some 200 budget left! I do appreciate the gesture :)

It didn't blow up haha. I made it home safely, but I did learn almost all of the things the car needs! I already ordered 90% of the parts it needs and a sweet custom car cover.

I will expand when I find some more time. For now, here are two pictures. The car was very dirty from the drive home, but oh well!

Where did you pick up the e30 M3? :D

There is a place 10min from me in Cincinnati that specializes in BMWs who has a few rare e30 M3s in pristine condition.

Always loved them, they demand money though!

Yes, I know of that place. They ask a LOT, but the cars they have are nice. That being said, I bought mine for probably half of what they typically ask for their cars and it will be nearly as nice within a few hundred dollars of parts lol :drive:

Truth be told, I do like ///M's and would own the right car, but I only get a stiffy over S cars. Turbo Quattro for life brother! get that 200 back on the road! btw, I'm postponing my trip down to FL, so perhaps later in the year. I NEED to live up to my namesake damnit!

I do like M cars, would like to own one some day too. I almost bought a 95 540i/6spd before I bought my UrS4 but it wasn't in the best of shape. I'd like to own either an E30 M3 or Cosworth Merc...but 07K swap it and piss people off :D With the rate E30 M3's have been going up though, I don't think you'd want to do that from a financial point unless it's really beat.
