newbie here doing a 1995 M3 restoration.

[Railie]

Hi guys, new to the forum as of today. I have been an avid lover of beemers for about 8 years now and have owned 3 of them. The one I am currently involved in is an old 95 M3. I am doing a total resto on it. I love all Beemers as they are (at least to me) a work of art. Glad to be here
I would post a pic of my car but it literally is in a hundred pieces, new engine here...tranny over there....doors in primer over there.....

[Mr. Red]

sounds awesome! I would love to see pictures of what you have to work with! it's a bimmer btw, beemer refers to BMW motorcycles. Weclcome to the forum!

OOPS. Am I bad? Sorry. I just found this forum and was severely sleep deprived. Should know better. Bimmer. Yes I have all kinds of pics. From the complete engine build(all new stuff, even head porting). To the step by step bodywork and paint. Including a complete engine compartment custom paint job to every part in the suspension being powdercoated and upgraded. And yes I am that anal. Oh and the car is just a stripped shell right now up on jacks. Every part on it has been primered and blocked out 4 or 5 times. Thanks for even responding.

drop an s54 into it and sell me the s50

way back when when The previous owner ashcanned (dropped a couple of valves) on my motor and then just reassembled it with toasted pistons and the wrong head I would have said yes to your offer. But now almost 20k later I think I will humbly decline. Byt the way how is your weather up there? We got buried in a massive rain storm here in Washington. I was down in my unfinished basement and heard water pouring down through the wall. I went upstairs and looked up at my new (2yrs old) kitchen ceiling and it was soaked. So much for new construction.

Post some photos of the car in bits and pieces

Haha, alright.
Geez, 20k? You should have sold it and gotten a newer/better one!

Weather here's alright, still friggin' cold!
But no more snow, luckily..
We had a couple inches about 5 days ago, but it seems to have thawed out a bit.
I'm looking forward to taking out my e30 again!

I started out doing what I thought would be a cheap rebuild and the perfectionist stupid part of me ( Testosterone ) got ahold of me and one thing led to another. Pauter rods, Ross pistons, Ferrea valve train, ect ect..... I think the real truth is that is why I am still seeping in the basement and the wife is upstairs!
