I bought an E36, just like everyone else. I want a E34 Touring but those are expensive.
The car came to me late night from FB marketplace and I messaged the guy around 9:30pm on a sunday night. As luck would have it the old guy selling it from a clearly fake name FB account didnt sell me into the sex trade. We agreed on a time and place and I had my car trailer hitched up to my truck 5:30 the next day. Lets just say that my 204,000 4L60e was not super pumped about the hills going out to Mass but shes a trooper. Showed up and the guy was by far the creepiest guy I have ever bought anything from but I saw how rust free the car was and I couldn't give him the money fast enough. Limped the car on the trailer and headed home!
The cars listing came as a 1994 Sedan in boston green, my favorite factory color even if its BEAT like it owes me money. The interior is Tan and automatic. It was originally listed for $1400 months before but went up for $400 as a rust free Virginia car. Said needed and engine/ mechanics special. I am always skeptical and when I got there it ran AWFUL, but I had a inclining to the problem due to the critical misfire and exhaust gases going somewhere. Well cylinder 5 had a familiar surprise.
Well my bestfriends 95' M3 had two spark plugs YEET themselves out of the head previously so I used his last timesert, a $2 spark plug boot and a new spark plug and we were back in business.
I had to ensure that the car ran top notch 7 mins after installing the new spark plug LOL.
I guess I will detail my plans. I have so far'd put gas in the car and it is on the road. I will drive it until the day the salt hits the roads. I put a radio in the car, new front speakers and cut the drivers side carpet out of the car as it was SOAKED. I have a identical parts cars that has a manual swap and will swap the interior pieces that are either broken or missing. It also has to get better gas mileage than a 208,000 miles Silverado haha.
Winter 2020
Manual Swap
The whole point of this car was going to be a road race / drift car as I want to start getting into fun motorsports stuff. Eventually I'd love to do a LS swap as we are in the process of the M3's getting a LS power plant. Let me know what you guys think.
