HI EVERY CONTI AND BMW E30 OR EQUIVELENT, NEED YOUR KIND OPINION BOUT THE BMW E30 CAR!
IT IS REGARDING BUYING THIS MODEL OF CAR... my friends said that this car has high maintenance cost, spare parts expensive and hard to find, the cost of maintenence and spare parts cost double or tripple than the japanese cars. IS THIS CAR SUITABLE FOR DAILY DRIVE??
REALLY NEED YOU ALL OPINION FOR ME TO MAKE DECISION!
THANKS ALOT!

IMHO, who said so? As for me, spare parts for E30 are a lot in the junkyard and its cheap. FYI, the E30 can use E34 M20 engine parts. Yes, they share the same engine bro....M20 engine. To let u know, the M20 engine is one of the long lasting engine ever built for BMW. But if u want to cut down the cost, u may put it japanese engine but to be frank with u, once u have put in japanese engine inside ur e30, u are going to lose the feel of driving the E30 BMW......had a friend of mine who is regret for changing japanese engine into his e30 and now looking for M20 engine....Think about it....

thanks fardell83
you make me feel better now! anyway after i got one e30 hopefully in fine condition, and if need you help on those parts and knowleage, hope will share.
my uncle driving bmw 2series two door 197* years. he told me today, that driving and keeping a beamer is adventures! meaning doing the car is adventures when doing it 'diy' or send it to workshop , chit chat with foreman , solving problems, etc... priceless.
rather than buying a new car with 2 to 3 years no breakdown.

Good day ZTH! Well i would like to ask to clarify my doubts as my topic above.
1. Want to purchase a 1.0 myvi (cheaper than a 1.3) to upgrade the engine to YRV turbo for daily use
2. Is it going to be hard to approve the car legally? (assuming we don't use runners)
3. If we use runners what cost are we looking at?

Well is there anyone who is using a YRV engine, or has done a 1.0 to 1.3 engine swap here that can shed some light, I would highly appreciate your kind replies. I just want...
