Congratulations.
Now start reading up on where to add a few fuses to keep your new baby safe. Make sure the front condenser fan and the dash lights have a fuse added. The factory failed to fuse those.

Thank You all for the kind words.
It is a 89 with 51,000 km, all stock except for the radio, chipped and CAT bypass pipe. I am the third owner. The second owner did not use it much at all. I did a bit of paint touch up (stone chips), polish the paint a bit, replace one CV joint boot, fix the turn signal switch, fix the horn. I am sure a lot more projects are on their way, just can't wait till winter is over. |

Love them both, I'm also mixing my German cars. Congrats on a great looking car. The Pelican Forum has been a great source of info and feed back for me and it's very inspiring when trying to make repairs, mods, upgrades. The 911 experience just started this year but I've been a BMW guy for a while - all be it newer and not needed work. I love my 335i for it's ease at going fast. With the wealth of electronics my wife can drive it fast too and with 300 hp, 300 ft/lbs of torque, and a 6 speed twin clutch paddle shift transmission it is fast. Thing is any punk with a pocket full of cash can get one and act like a hero. It takes skill, talent, and determination to learn how to drive a classic 911 fast. We need to preserve these fantastic cars!!
Here are couple pictures - both go fast but one's like a surgeons scalpel and the other is more of a meat cleaver (in a good way). ![]() ![]()

I had an e28 535is and to this date it is one of the very few cars I miss.
I also owned a 335i coupe. Black with chestnut interior 6mt msport. Loved it also. So easy to drive, so much torque. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

There is only one E30 that I really miss. It is the E30 M3, Henna Red on Tan. A wicked car with wicked head gasket and manifold gasket problems. It is like letting go of Heidi Klum. Some nights you miss her. I bet Seal is missing Heidi too.
But never enough to buy another one, now that is north of $50K.
