nice. the mileage on the e30s i own are getting lower as I get more $. I now have a touring with 99k, which is about to get a 2.7 stroker anyway. my dd is a 90 325is with ~145k, but it has a rebuilt head.

my old car lives on, whomever bought that white one with the black trunk lid from Dan (xcalibur or something) has my 250k motor. shaved head, bigger throttle body, and some other various goodies

lol my old eta put down 125hp and 165 ft lbs at the wheels

but a stock b25 is still more fun for me, as the powerband for the eta is so narrow
