Well , if you want to get a new car what were you in the market for?
I plan on having my friend fabricate a turbo kit for this car , since the motor in the inline six you can make a set up similar to the toyota supra turbo kits.
If i were to sell this car I would go for the new M3 , or the E30.. the newer models of the BMW' are not appealing at all..

thanks bud~
I Just maintain it the way the factory recommends , 91 octane at all time ( shell or chevron ) , mobil one synthetic.. Also your driving style will obviously determine the motor quality later on .. I only take the car close to red line once a week , usually in third gear. I forgot where I read this but from what they say , you should open your car up full throttle at least once a week ..

Hi Reza,
Your car looks great considering its mileage. What do you use for your interior cleaning, specifically the leather. Your seats look brand new!
Thanks

Awesome looking car. The 3.0 straight six normally aspirated motor is a tried and true engine. You might be able to double that mileage with the right maintenance. Keep it up buddy!
