AWW$HEEET Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Welcome, cool car. I have a friend with that exact same car, except hers isn't as nice, and it's really slow and handles like shit. Probably because it has like 260k miles on it though Most are shitboxes full of rust, high milage, etc. Once you get suspension and braking done, they handle like they're on rails. Its pretty staggering that you can get such an old car to handle well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 nice e30! Always been a big fan of them, and I can imagine it'd pair quite well with a M50. Did you do the swap yourself? I noticed the badges for TCD, but no turbo?....oh and your muffler hangers need a bit of help OK, done being an ass. Welcome to the site -edit: is it bad that I knew you were a BMW guy just by the screen name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the badges for TCD, but no turbo?....oh and your muffler hangers need a bit of help OK, done being an ass. Welcome to the site -edit: is it bad that I knew you were a BMW guy just by the screen name? Long story short, the car used to belong to TCD. Actually if you go to their website, the car is still on the front page banner. It used to be M20 with a TCD stage 2 kit, and dynoed at about 300 horse. The car was swapped to M50 by those guys, and I bought it that way. In terms of the exhaust, when I bought it, it was hanging low, so I took it to Beanies Muffler in Reynoldsburg. They have a pretty good reputation for exhaust work, but I was pretty unimpressed with their lack of concern/craftsmanship when trying to rehang the exhaust. So if anyone knows of good exhaust shops, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonneVille Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Dammit, posted on my Brother's login by mistake^^^ Anyways, 7 Series for comfort and power, 5 Series for good midsize performance, but the 3 Series is the one for a real performance car.

GonneVille Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 you are half assing it. what 3 series/year are you looking at? Late 80s to mid 90s, the most common years for hardcore builds, unless you want to go back to the 2002(the model, not the year). After the mid-90s, BMW kind of shifted their focus to the 5-Series, and going after Mercedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Id stick with an e30, but im completely biased. I test drove an e36 once, definately not impressed, even after I flogged the shit out of it. So unless you are looking at M3's, I would stay e30.
