do it!

Sam 330ci · 05-19-2009, 11:00 AM

I must have.

Also, time to man up and throw the E30 tag under the "my ride" section of your info.

What a glorious moment that is for any man.

Sam 330ci · 05-19-2009, 11:02 AM

I bought mine with the timing belt already done, and since all I've done are oil changes and a fuel pump and it's still running like a champ. My gearbox is sloppy though the bushings are shot so I'll be cruising in 5th and the shift lever will appear as though it's in Second.

What do engines for these things go for?

This looks nice but the mileage blows the deal. http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/1170990945.html

M20's pop up around here on Craigslist all the time for like $250. But that's craigslist, everything is "like new" and such, i bet most of it is junk. These are BMW 6 cylinders though... virutally bulletproof IMO.

Green_Shine · 05-19-2009, 11:07 AM

Nice buy!

coco savage · 05-19-2009, 11:23 AM

ya m20's can be had for pretty cheap.

mine had near 250k before i sold it..and it was still running strong.

neo...for HID kit dont get vision bulbs. FYI. also be mindful of where you locate things for the hid under the hood. Last thing you want is a electrical fire.

the spoiler i need to get the pictures they are on a different computer bro.

Sam 330ci · 05-19-2009, 11:36 AM

I have a spare H7 HID kit that is just sitting in the box unopened in my garage if u need one. I bought it for my 330ci and then realized I had OEM Xenons so I didnt even open the FedEx box this came in. If you want it Neo let me know.

coco savage · 05-19-2009, 11:40 AM

make sure whatever smilies/elips you buy can FIT h7 bulbs if you so decide to scoop sam's kit
