This is my second go around of a BMW of this vintage. I wasn't seeking out one but came across this yesterday online. It had a pretty healthy build sheet and the guy wasn't asking much to start with, so I contacted him. Was glad after speaking with him it was a middle aged guy that was moving and either this or his m coupe had to go, whichever sold first. Decided after breakfast I shouldn't pass the deal up. Booked a rental and off to Virginia, only a 5 hour drive. The car was just as described and the owner was pretty cool. Ended up just staying at a hotel last night and halfway home at the moment, car has been running flawless.
The motor is fully built, all quality stuff. Nice turbo setup with a 35r, running the larger 1.02 housing at the moment which I might swap out for the .82 I have. Car makes right around 550hp at the moment on 21-22 psi with 93 pump. Going to get it retuned this week and crank the boost.
I hate the taillights, going to order a set of stock ones when I get home.

Let's see how long I can keep this...
