    Thoughts on a 1999 e36 M3 Coupe

    For that many miles, on an M3 I wouldn't go above $5K and would certainly offer less. They are great cars, I just sold mine, but they have tons of small things that go wrong at even 70-80K that you be certain that you will have work to do on a 200K car even if properly maintained.....

    E24 Sport seat compatibility

    Gentleman - Does anyone know the compatibility of Post 1983 E24 sport seats among the various years? In other words would a 1985 set of sport sets fit in a 1988 (harness, rails, etc) and cosmetically do they look the same. Thanks...

    The Vintage 2015 Winston-Salem NC, May 22-24

    A restored or original coupe is going to run you between $35 - $65K no "young enthusiast" is going to be able to afford a SECOND car like that. The owners that I know are 6 figure and up income earners...yes, well heeled. Then you cannot respond intelligently to the salient parts of my post.

    The Vintage 2015 Winston-Salem NC, May 22-24

    The E9's were great. The best part of the show IMHO. The E9's are always great. But the kind of guys who own E9's are usually well heeled and would only bring a decent one to the show. I didn't say that there weren't any good cars I have just noticed in the past two years compared to previous...

    The Vintage 2015 Winston-Salem NC, May 22-24

    E9's not withstanding, this show has been lacking for the past couple of years, first Spaten is no longer involved (which was one of the highlights of the show), second either the same cars or a ton of beater E30's. If I want to see cars like that I can peruse Craigslist.

    Question: Found metal pieces in oil pan?

    I have been over that engine top-side and bottom-side every square inch. I have checked the oil pump top to bottom, even used my boroscope to reach inaccessible areas and I have found zero evidence of missing or broken parts.
