    Default bmw ideas...

    well heres the situation. ive got an 93 e32 (740i) bmw, v8, automatic trans, etc...

    im trying to figure out what i wanna do with it. its a high mileage car, but its in good shape. no ac and no reverse though.

    so far ive had 3 ideas for it.
    1. sell it for 1000 bucks
    2. strip it and figure out how to make it drift
    3. strip it, bust out the windows, and go to winder speedway with it lol

    any more ideas?

    Either fix the tranny and make it a VIP car, euro style, or go you your local track with it and have some fun. If you happen to go to the track/dirby with it make sure the car is completely done with afterwards.

    Sell it.

    E32's, and this goes for most any old BMW that hasn't been maintained religously, are absolute money pits.

    I'm not sure how much these go for in good condition, but go find a used transmission and either sell it or just drive it around as a daily if you got nothing better to do with it, it's winter don't need a/c.

    hard to say from the picture, but the e30 does not look like an M, lack of fender flares, but maybe it's just because it's dark and I'm blind.

    well, you can put a type-r badge on a civic but it doesn't make it a type-r. e30 M3 has fender flares, which is part of what makes them unique to non-M e30s.

    Chevy 383 > 4.0 BMW V8. I'll stick with the one I got .

    I'll get it on video if you decide to do demolition derby with the E32 tank though.
