E30s?

[DonS1mpson]

Any E30 fans on here?

I'm currently in the dilemma as to what to do with my 92 316i E30 Touring (Notice how I say TOURING ). I can entire keep it, and throw on some nice suspension and a welded Diff and have a very fun (but increiably slow) daily, or sell this and go for another Supra, and while my head tells me to do the former, but heart wants me to do the latter.

Here's how she stands -

And to finish off on a high note, my mighty 102hp 4 pot

Thoughts people?

2 of my buddies have them 325's. Fun little cars. Slowish stock but you can do so much to them. One of them is almost done with a turbo build.

Keep the bimmer, and build the motor to be as fast as the Supra. You look to have several years to work on it until you are old enough to drive it.

Are motor swaps an option?

S52 or M/S62 or S85, etc.

If not, you're kinda screwed, I'd at least want an I6 in there as I've never seen anyone bother with the 4cyl if it's not an S14.

If I had the dough for a S series swap I'd have already have an Aristo out front as a daily and a JZA70 in the garage for the track :naughty:.

I suppose I could drop a 220HP 3.5 M30 from a Early e34 5 series (that was the original plan), a M50 out of a e36 325i or even a M42 from an IS (by the far the cheapest option), but all but the last option defeats the point od buying this car in the first place. I was (at the time) after a cheap Daily and could hold it's own aganist the Miatas everyone in my car club is rocking on the twisites.

Only thing that has changed now is that I don't need it to be so cheap, so a Supra can enter the running again .

I say get a better BMW.
