Update:

I got to drive it around and shortening the shift really helps, its a good 3 inches shorter than it was. The transmission I put in it shifts nice and I used full synthetic oils for the transmission and rear differential.

Grats on the working transmission. What brand oil did you use?

I don't care what other's have said in this thread. You saw what you wanted and you are doing the work to make it your own. BRAVO!!! I've been working on my apartment over the last year and a quater. I've put in cherry wood flooring, painted and renovated my bathroom (including plumbing, painting, flooring, cabinet/sink/faucet replacement), replaced my refrig which caused me to "fix" a cabinet above it so it could fit, did various work on furniture restoration/making, mounted my new Sony 37" Bravia on to an existing entertainment center (that took some engineering), and am currently slowly repainting my kitchen. I plan to replace the windows in the bedroom and living room myself, and I look down the road to replace my bathtub/shower with a more japanese style design. My home is awesome, many people who come over are astounded by the way it looks and think a professional did the work. I smile.

RISE FROM THE DEAD!!!!!

:laugh:

Update: I might have someone interested in it, again. I'll be kinda sad to let it go but one less headache for me. I had to replace the water pump before I went to basic training. Not much else has gone on with it since I've last updated this.

Yeah, it became a money pit, parts are hard to come buy and expensive. I'm kinda sad to get rid of it, if the kid can get the money. But I can always find something that's as fun as it. But if the deal falls through, there may still be some updates.

DONT GET RID OF IT! You put so much work into it. And yes its a money pit, but your getting rid of all the old parts. You have a few more major old parts to go and youll be done.

I mean the ENGINE IS NEW, so the timing is good. The transmission you rebuilt. and etc.

Keep with it bio please!

Well I'll see tomorrow if the deal falls through. I would like to keep it but I really don't have any place to store it, it's sitting outside at my dad's shop right now. If I had my own place with a garage it would be a different story but we will see what happens.

Are YOU selling it or is it your dad that want you to sell it?

I'm like that with my M3. BMW's always are a bit of a money pit, but in the GFC, I can't really afford to keep it. Plus it's value has been nearly halved in 3 years, what an absolute rip.

Only if you buy a crappy one... None of the BMW's I have had have ever really needed anything much done to them.

Any higher end car will suffer from high depreciation, especially when it is replaced by a newer model. The only M3 that actually retains any value over time is (IMO) the only REAL M3 - the E30...
