Chris makes me feel good about having only 4 cars and 3 motorcycles

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'?
Lines on top/bottom of 'M Power' or not?

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

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

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

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.
