kauz are the replacement parts super expensive for the car? like if you need a new hose or something are they hard to find?
btw that bubble car is fucking clean!!!!!
btw is saw a few drop in inline 6's are those out of e36's? or did the e30 ever come w/ straight 6. i dont think they did, right?

the E30 was available with straight 6's, just not in the M3.
Yup Rabbit GTI is right. Most likely its from an e36 M. They make an engine mount for that swap and it's one im debating. There's a guy on s14 that dropped an e46 motor!!!
As far as parts...they are def more expensive than non-M parts. ie. waterpump for 92 525i $60-80, for my m3 $140-160, i forget the exact prices. Don't forget labor, and I wouldnt take the car to a hole in the wall shop, you'll end up finding someone reputable, and when you do...well...they know it too. Finding oem parts arent too difficult, same with aftermarket parts. Basically you just need to surf the forums. You can always check out:

or Foreign Parts Specialists (FPS) based out in Sacramento. This is where I would get OEM parts, they have good prices most of the time. The owners brother owns a shop that works on M3's and Porche's.
Get one now while you can and hold on to it until you can get to where you want it.

I'm almost positive there is one of those down the street from me, no joke. It's not in the best of shape though, and it looks like it hasn't been driven in a long time. Another thing. I'm pretty sure the guy drives an Alpine White E30 M3, but it has rust on it. I can't believe it.
