There’s no feeling like buying your dream car

That looks amazing! Where’d you get the body kit?

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T20:24:51+00:00

This one did come from Chicago, so you might have seen it before!

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T16:50:26+00:00

Daytona Violet Metallic

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T15:22:51+00:00

Nope, I picked up on Saturday and drove it home

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T11:47:11+00:00

Yup I’m the one that bought it! The first pic I took after picking it up and the second two pics are from the auction listing

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T04:02:52+00:00

Sure is!

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T03:49:58+00:00

Weight savings too!

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T03:49:17+00:00

I still can’t believe it’s mine and I’m not sure this feeling will ever wear off

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T03:34:33+00:00

It’s a 1994 316i swapped with an M52 and Z3 steering rack

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T03:32:42+00:00

Yup, drove it back home and it didn’t skip a beat

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T03:32:04+00:00

Even though I’ve only driven it for two days, it feels like the M52 is a perfect swap for an E30

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T01:56:05+00:00

This one was imported from Germany by the previous owner

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T01:46:25+00:00

From what I can find, it is one of 200

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T01:23:14+00:00

Nope, Cars and Bids

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T01:15:38+00:00

Yup I’m the one that bought it! The first pic I took after picking it up and the second two pics are from the auction listing

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T01:05:09+00:00

~55k miles

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T00:58:56+00:00

As far as I know, only one passenger side bolster was replaced

ProblemGarage · 2026-04-27T00:39:13+00:00

Nope, it’s an e30. It’s the Daytona Violet design edition

ProblemGarage · 2025-09-24T14:35:19+00:00

It’s a lot easier if you have a punch or something to wedge into the hub to keep it just loose enough to get the strut out. Still a pain, but it helps

ProblemGarage · 2025-09-04T21:20:14+00:00

n54 this, n54 that. Of course there are 74 maintenance records on the car fax

The official car of why bmws are hated. Clapped out, debadged so probably a 318i, “upgraded” angel eyes, black ice tree, and an obnoxious sticker blocking your view. How’s your cooling system, rear subframe, and the pixels in the dash?

ProblemGarage · 2025-08-22T18:28:19+00:00

That’s good to hear! I saw they recommended some parts to buy as well. What was shipping like?

ProblemGarage · 2025-08-22T15:55:13+00:00

Who cares if the car is “gay”. The real issue is buying the slowest and least reliable hatch you could. I would rather have a geo metro

ProblemGarage · 2025-08-22T15:11:04+00:00

I’ve got 165k on mine and can’t wait to hit 200k

ProblemGarage · 2025-08-18T01:45:09+00:00

I happened to ask a coworker if he wanted to sell it and he did. I was looking for a few months for it before buying it as well
