E30 patrol. 1988 325iX (european import), 110,000 miles, cirrusblau metallic.   1998 Civic LX, 145000km, the horrendous honda "not quite blue or green" colour, dreadully boring.

Think I just found my favorite car in the thread. I love E30s but I have a secret lust for a 5 series, even though I probably couldn't afford to have my E30 and an E28/E34.

netwerk23 posted:Thanks! I searched everyday for about 14 months looking for it. I had to fly to CT to buy it, but it's been fun. 2004, 64k miles, Volvo warranty until 100k. 6 speed manual, 4C chassis, sunroof, etc. The turbo and valve timing seem to really come on around 3k RPM and it goes whooooOOOOSSSSHHHH down the road. Amazingly, no speeding tickets so far. Is that the stock shifter? It's so much more badass than a regular leather booted shifter.

Yet another e36 for the thread, 98 325is sport package with 110500km, picked it up today. All the luxury is confusing to me, the only option I ever had on my previous cars is AC. (Previous owner's pic)

kimbo305 posted:Complain about Lo T all you want, but there's nothing wrong with mechanical engineering in general. In any case, I don't think many MechEs would go on to try to find work as car mechanics. We should because you learn a lot about good design when working on lovely cars. The stereotype of MEs who don't know poo poo usually applies to the people who go out and do project management right out of school and never design a single thing. My courses were geared to the most general application possible, I never got any solid technical knowledge until I started working. It's very possible for someone to have a degree and barely understand the mechanics of a gearbox.

DogDodger posted:That is pretty neat. Didn't BMW do something similar? The RS 4 simply has a warning at the bottom of the DIS that reminds you to keep the RPMs low until the oil temp registers warm enough, then the message changes to the oil temp display. The M cars since E39/E46 have them. Although I'm sure there are still idiots who rev a cold S54 up to 8000rpm.

DropShadow posted:In person it looks terrible. There is an RS4 in town with a full wrap and it always looks dirty, even when clean. Plus, since it's a wrap, you can see waves in the the "grain" of the carbon fiber, where real cf would be pretty straight. I think he paid over $3k for the whole thing, and it looks awful. Nice guy, but a lot more money than taste. The PO of my 330 put that kind of CF wrap on the B pillars and rear trunk lip. It looks like poo poo, and it wears badly too - the lip looks like someone went at it with a piece of sandpaper.

Had it for a week, but finally got it insured this weekend since I had to find someone that would insure a non NA VIN. '89 535i 5spd, imported from germany a couple years ago. 182000km. Wasn't even really planning to buy, but the price was right.     The style 16s need to go, I'm thinking of picking up Style 32s, Style 5s or Style 42s.  Stupid german cars and lack of cupholders

Sabmo posted:One vote for 5's. So far I like it. It definitely feels very 80s BMW. Big steering wheel, Long clutch throw with an upright seating position. Thankfully it has telescoping steering, otherwise I honestly couldn't have driven the car (5'6). The steering is very light, as is expected with a recirculating ball setup. But really, I bought this car to use as a commuter/city car for awhile and the light steering/soft suspension is nice for that. Torque from the M30 is nice as well, it doesn't need to be driven hard. The only thing I didn't realize is mine doesn't have A/C - didn't even think to check before I bought it. If it gets really uncomfortable during my commute I may have to fix a few little niggles, unload it then use my e36 until I can find an e39...I did always want the V8.

thealphabetsez posted:Oh good lord, man! How comfortable is that lovely alcantera/cloth seat option? I was in talks with an owner of a 04' Alpine White variant, but waited too long to make a move. Since then I've felt it was the one that got away. That's a shame, alpine ZHPs are rare as hell. I'd kill for one. I miss mine (especially the alcantara seats, those are the BEST bmw seats I've ever sat in) but the lack of LSD really kills them for autocross and track use.
