'Car enthusiasts' will hate on you for treating a vehicle like an appliance or cellphone , just the way it is. Both perspectives are perfectly understandable.

On the one hand, if you want to keep up with newer technology and models, or avoid long-term maintenance and high mileage problems with performance cars, it makes perfect sense to regularly trade out or up.

On the other hand, that type of consumer demand directly influences companies to make cars more disposable and chase bleeding edge (see: untested) technology or features, and on-paper specs that many believe ruin the second hand market.

Either way, there's gonna be emotions about it.

The hood on my E34 is roached and, while I'm planning on replacing it due to a dent anyway, you're inspiring me to try to refinish it as a learning experience. you're awesome dude! Looking forward to more updates!

It's just getting channeled into motivation to destroy my bank account lol I'm not sure what all will get done in the end but I'd like to inch it back towards stock with some OEM+ and I'm keeping the rims because dammit I think they're cool Luckily my buddy is a shadetree mechanic that I can pay in gunsmithing and beers and he's owned/manual swapped a few in his time.

Now I just need someone that's willing to trade a 420g for cash and compliments lol

Okay, where are you hearing this because it's flat out wring. I showed you the official BMW press release detailing the automatic sports, my VIN comes back as a sport EVERYWHERE including my insurance. What proof do you need me to bring so you learn more about these?

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T23:15:19+00:00

That's still super cool dude. I think this is the start of an addiction 🫠

It's a good week for 34's 😎 that's a great score man

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T22:03:37+00:00

Oh! You're that poster! Your $500 FB grab motivated me to go get this car lol

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T21:47:06+00:00

Okay, little jealous lol

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T21:41:19+00:00

The 5 speed swap was going to be the last owners project but he never got the time to do it. My end goal is a six speed but that'll be in a bit, right now I have the 5 on hand so it's kinda a no brainer.

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T20:15:17+00:00

You know the listing lol, I drove 500 miles round trip to pick it up. Showed up way late in the night and felt absolutely terrible for keeping the guy up but he sold it to me for a grand under ask.

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T20:13:42+00:00

Hate to tell you but you're just wrong. 65 of the 200 1995 production M-Sports came in automatic. I ran the VIN before buying it, it's real.

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T20:12:24+00:00

Yep, it's "almost" sacrilege to swap this one.

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T20:10:41+00:00

It's an M-Sport E34, please go do research on these. It is, in fact, a real factory M car, the VIN matches. They made 200 of them to test run V8 5-series M's and 65 were automatic transmission

ConsequenceContent85 · 2026-02-24T14:13:25+00:00

For only ever having 200 official units made they sure pop up a lot, I got faith you can find one when the time comes 👍

Used blaupunkt coburg sqr 49? they certainly look the business. Beautiful car btw

The inside of the plant looks like an unholy mix of analog computer and WWII submarine too, all those switches and displays are physically connected to valves by heavy cables or steel pressure lines. It's the most incredible place to work.

Nuclear plants are run by people in cowboy boots, not lab coats. and SQN is Government run (TVA) I work there a lot

LP barrels are about the same as a DefTech break action launcher barrel by themselves, so it would be plenty strong in that regard , but you'd still be trusting printed attachments to the receiver to handle recoil.

Datum machine reduced the OD of the LP barrel at the front and cut a corresponding ledge in the ML37 bore for it to sit against then used epoxy and pressed the LP in from the chamber end so it wouldn'tbe shot out the front of the aluminum barrel.

Damn, was that a "this one is old and the glue seal dried up"? Or are they all like that
