I bought a black 01 530i about three weeks ago. 90k miles and good maintenance records. Ordering vanos seals soon, this car is a turd but makes a nice commuter!

 

I know of a great fix for leaky Vanos seals on the 5 series; :wink:

Bought myself a 2007 530i 6 months ago. Best car I've ever driven or owned. Plenty of power, comfort, and can handle pretty well.

 

Also just got a 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6 Roadster. It was essentially a Mercedes in Chrysler badging with the AMG engine and tranny. There were only 900 roadsters produced so we think it should become a collector car some day. Plus its got 350HP on 3000lbs. :)

 

 

and my god is it a sleeper lol

Just ran across another E36 M3, (’97 sedan) receiving an LSx and T56, :2thumbs: and this one is local to us! :blink: I’m sure at some point we’ll cross paths to swap LSx BMW tech.

He’s selling his running S52 engine, (240 HP 3.2L inline 6), sure would look good under the hood of an S30 or S130… :wink:

Been gone from HBZ for a year. Picked up a '99 328i in the meantime though. Sport + Luxury packages. Threw on a set of Pilot Sport PS2s and this car really grabs the road hard. Not as fast as an E36 M3, but I do get 32mpg on the highway.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and raise this thread from the dead.

 

I just got myself an '06 330i 6spd and I'm loving it as a daily. 26mpg cruising on the highway to work. It's surprisingly good in the snow too considering it doesn't have winter tires. And it's so quiet inside!

 

My first BMW and I absolutely love it. Anybody else got an e9x bmw?
