Danke. I have always liked the E30 since I was young. I bought this car five years ago in Superb condition. Then I tore it apart! There are many MTech, Alpina and Hartge builds. I never saw much ACS. I took it as a challenge and an opportunity to preserve this part of automotive history. Knowing I wanted to do a motor swap, I wanted to avoid the common 24v and instead keep it period correct... build it true to the era. Seeing what Alpina and Hartge did but ACS never did (E30 M30), I figured let's give it a try. So..here I am. I did look at purchasing what may well be the first E30 318 Dinan turbo car. It had too much rust. I am still trying to buy that motor. I have dreams of it. I may still buy it... my wife loves me very much. And thank you for the PS. There are family, friend connections to Germany from WW2. I spent time there for a wedding (got to hang out with many kids my age but they all spoke English so well and I was so timid, we always spoke English!) World Exp. Vacations all over, Unterkirnach, Schwarzwald, Allerheilegen...mostly Hannover (69 Fussball). My lineage here in the US starts with Heinrich Fuchs iimmigrating in the 1740s. I have always enjoyed the German culture.
