Okay so I don't need my other set of mirrors, I also don't need my other set of engine mounts once I pull the motor out of my Bimmer.

I bought poly urethane motor mounts. So I'll let you know on that.
I won't need the windshield wiper linkage, or the fan blower.

Keep 'em comin hah.

thanks man! i am not often on this forum anymore as my 318is is sleeping for the winter. i would really really appreciate if you could hang on to those parts until the snow melts, i will definitely buy them off of you. we're friend on facebook now, so let me know if there's anything. i'll keep thinking about other parts i'd need

as for our swiss friend, we'll be meeting up and have a few beers next week in Montreal!

i'm sorry to hear this!
i once had a crash with mine, winter time. done a spin and half and ended up a few 100 meters further down in a field.. although i couldn't be cherry picking; it was winter. i was in 2 meters of snow. no damade to the car, only snow in the exhaust (i got in the snowbank backwards before completing a spin). wish i had pictures to share. my oncle has one. he was passing by, had a big laugh, took a picture and left.... ...

anyways, hopefully you can repair your e30? be happy it can't look half as bad as my one when i bought it

Oh man. Where have I been?!?

hoevesruperd If you need any parts now would be the prime time to make a list.

Oh and hoeves you make me so jealous I don't have a brilliantrot!

oh you're saving the day, and maybe the e30 at the same time! i need quite a few parts. i will make a list and post it very soon. as for now, i really need the wiper linkage, and fan blower. (my fan is dead, not sure if its the blower or controls really)

and yeah brilliantrot is a nice color for e30s but it becomes pretty nasty when the clear starts fading. i can't wait to start working on my car again. might have to wait until snow melts (it started snowing today and i'm already wishing for it to melt!)

congradulations on your new job! hope it helps you keep the e30 dreams alive. i also got a new job. working at the record store which is cool since i get to discover so many new bands, but its badly paid. the 318is will suffer from it

here, i am writing a paper on artificial lighting in cities
thought i'd share a few pictures i took of montreal (Ste-Catherine street (our very own whores district))







and by the way. didnt had time to repair the e30's crossmember yet. i guess it will have to wait until next spring before i have the funds and time to rebuild the car... and the e28 died. fuel pump problems i believe. its just not worth it to replace for now

what about engine management for these 3 options?
i'd be looking to bore or stroke my engine too when it comes the time for a rebuild but the high prices of fuel and spark management like the megasquirt is a worry. is there a a chance that an option would work with a simple chip?

Nice DD romkasponka! how do you compare both cars? i've driven the e36 a few times but it was a trashed one with bad suspenssion. it made me believe the e30 is more like a fun kart-like ride.

other than that: the tree man
