    Nice to see a tach actually drop when you put in the clutch.

    The Z cars from BMW are so overlooked. I love them so much though. Had an 03 E85 and now daily a 07 E86.

    I test drove one of these 1.9s in-period and I thought it was a gutless wonder. I will say it felt solid and heavy for its size.

      Yeah, I've got a '97. You are correct. It's under powered but it is fun. It's quiet, which I like. The only problem is that everything is so expensive to fix. Mine has 128k. But I'm not allowed to have a motorcycle so I got this. I wish I got the V6. But it does get a lot of looks...

    All early to mid 90s BMW interiors were made to be recycled after use. Many of them began to "self-recycle" sooner than expected.

    Do you have any thoughts on the E34, specifically the 535, 530, or 540? I have an 89 Mercedes 300SE, and, as much of an incredible, couch-like joy as it is to drive, I'm really missing the manual experience and I cannot stop discovering rust! (also, the transmission is dying! Hooray.)

    A really cool engine swap would be an S14 from an E30 M3. Ideally an S14B25 EVO3 with 235 hp. 100% financially irrational, but too cool to pass up if someone with deep pockets and connections could source such a thing (import an S14 EVO3 engine from Europe). I'm sure you could mimic an S14 with similar parts for FAR cheaper considering an M44 block is related to the S14. Yet another insane swap would be with an S42B20 from a German Super Tourenwagen Cup car... 276 hp to 315 hp depending on spec. One can dream... Maybe I can plant the seeds with someone with the means with such an utterly ridiculous fever dream.

      It is a POV video. So the camera is positioned as to look as you’re looking through his eyes. Hence why it is attached to his cap.
