SiK-E34 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Come on. Do it. Be a man. It seems like a waste of money, asoon as something breaks down its like instantly $500 or more just because its bmw. Rather keep it stock as for the E30 ive been told they dont fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 410 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Common miss-perception of BMW ownership.... Any European car actually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) Its only the stealers that have ridiculous prices. Most places like BNT have decent prices. Most 2nd hand parts are not expensive either if you know where to look. Edited November 30, 2009 by chris00 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are my new favourite Bimmersporter A entry level RIPS RB will run you 10K, a common as hell 2JZ-GTE will cost near the same with a equally easy to get 6-Speed, so much cheaper than BMW second hand parts.
