Max trust me if I could find a minter soon in Black its sold

Only reason I got rid of the 36 is because im so used to go out and finding something to do to it wether its painting the needles Red/smoking the lights etc,just couldnt find anything like that to do on the 36.
So when I say `bored` of it thats the only reason.
I know everyone slags the E36 even though they probably have no experience of one,just jumping on the bandwagon,I really couldnt fault mine.Utterly reliable,very confortable,very well specced and rust free,things that are rarely found on an E30.
Also when I said `im back` thats not entirely true because ive had 7 E30`s since selling my last daily one(M50) and currently own 2 although there fate is currently in the balance

I know of an M51 (??) engine lying on the floor

No box though..

Cracking idea IMO.

My Dad tried... and failed. Miserably.

To be honest, what is the problem with E36?
Give this forum another 3 year and most of us have E36 or other Beemers.... I would love to have an 4-door E36 M3 to an example!

i'd love to to a 'fiddled' diesel conversion on a E30. something akin to these:

i can see where you're coming from with the boredom though. many times in my past i've sold a silly car and bought a sensible reliable one, only to sell it a few months later and get something silly again!
