E46 man myself. 2000 323i. Do all the basic work myself. Toughest job i've done was valve cover gasket. It's a fine machine, simple, smooth and functional.clipse15 said:Really? that's funny because i drive a 2000 BMW 540i. Honestly the upkeep on it is really expensive because if anything is wrong you generally have to bring it to the BMW dealership itself.killcheese said:Hey escapists, im shopping for my first car for my birthday present to myself. I am somewhat of a gear head and greatly enjoy talking cars with friends. So, what do you drive and how do you like it? I will have a 1990 bmw e30 325i shortly if all things go well.
Oh my god I am so jealous right now...FutureJarhead16 said:I drive a 1999 Firebird. Love this car so very much. Actual picture of it.

Sounds like you need a bigger intercooler for the turbo. A buddy of mine had the same heat issue when he turbocharged his civic hatchback. An empty can found crushed on the street would have been better then the one which came in his kit though, so it might not be your problem.s0m3th1ng said:E30's are great cars...I've had a 90' 325is and a turbocharged 91' 325e.
Currently I drive a 96' turbocharged Miata in black. Love it. Looks great, best handling car I've ever driven, and has enough juice(180hp) to keep up with anything. I added the turbo 2 years ago and the only problem I've had are some heating issues.
