Does the 128i also suffer from a lot of front tire foldover? Or is that just strictly an e46 thing? Also, I think the 128i won't result in about 15K of work to be track-ready. It also doesn't have the M54B30 oil pump nut issue, which is something I wish I knew about since I wanted to use my e46 to track. I should really get that done ...

Front tire foldover?

Haha, haters gonna hate. For the record - I am a hardcore E36 guy and my E36 was a far better looking car than the 128, no argument from me. Although the 1 series is growing on me - with the right wheels and stance, it helps it a lot.

Either way, once I'm in the car, the 128 is a better ride as a street car and a racecar.

Lol I actually do love the 1 series. Just wanted to bust balls back at the e36 jab.

E82 bros :wooha:

The outer edge of the front tires of the 1M will get destroyed at the track without more negative camber. I have Vorshlag camber plates on order.

OH THIS IS THE EXACT PICTURE I WAS LOOKING FOR

westopher 06-28-2019 01:26 PM

You could say that with just about any car though. It’s not a BMW issue, it’s a track driven car with street alignment issue. Any car you push hard enough to get any understeer will do that.

320icar 06-28-2019 02:27 PM

Those pictures apply to every car.

lowside67 06-28-2019 02:53 PM

At least every BMW made in the last 30 years. They all have like 0.5 degrees camber from factory and want like -3.5 for serious track use. Camber plates are the solution for the e82, as they were for the e46, the e36 before that...

more interested in that GTI and the porsches behind it!

snowfarmer 06-29-2019 06:33 AM

That guy's garage, I want one lift, never mind 3 (that we can see) and the cars he's got in there :drool

How did you find that ad, are you just casually shopping for a Messerschmidt KR200 on CL as we all do?

Now I have more respect for this thing, I used to think WTF? Guess it's actually not that original.

I thought that manufacturer only built aircraft - they did build those "ME-109" fighters!

68style 06-29-2019 10:25 AM

I saw that too but I regularly search for pre-1978 vehicles in CL haha, awesome glasswork on the xsnopy

I haven't been finding many good deals lately...

Also, Christ, are people charging stupid prices for JDMs. I remember 6 years ago, you could get a TT Mark IV Supra for around $18K. Now people want $28K for an N/A version.

Fuck outta here :fuckthatshit:

68style 06-29-2019 07:35 PM

^ One day the Buick market will take off....... and when it does, you’ll be sleeping on a huge pile of money with many beautiful women :alone:

Came across these 2 that I think are good deals. Not spectacular deals, but good deals nonetheless:

https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...922790949.html

https://images.craigslist.org/00r0r_...b_1200x900.jpg

2006 Boxster -- $19k
139k km
Porsche Club member
upgraded IMS bearing



https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml...919009495.html

https://images.craigslist.org/00i0i_...D_1200x900.jpg

2006 Boxster -- $19.5k
160k

If I may say so, the base car actually looked a little more appealing to me since it is PCA-CWR member owned, and has the IMS bearing upgraded.

If the Boxster S checks out, I'd consider that to be a good deal too. Didn't know these 987 Boxsters can be had for under $20k. If they were Caymans instead of Boxsters, I'd be all over that first one.

Owner of the first car is a stand up dude. These are great - would love to grab one for summer cruising
