Plus, you really get the picture of how much technology has exploded in the last 50 years or so. Heck even just taking things back to 1990, there's a massive gulf between the tech.Quote:

If you’re ever in Portland, I’ll take the horrible job of being your driver.

That is so cool Trevor! I don't have the coordination for that... Something would crash
That's cray crayQuote:

Not yet haha. But I want one so badly! And they were definitely way ahead of their time!Quote:

That honestly sounds too cheap. Does the SMG to 6MT conversion lower the resale? I’d think it would raise resale.Quote:

I think it needs some cosmetic things , like is missing the clip where the headlight washer comes outQuote:

I’d take that opportunity to remove the headlight washer altogether. Leaky bastards.Quote:

The M badge in the grill and the bimmian-esque stripes on the side skirts would make me exercise caution. I don't know why, I just do.
However, as BP said you could argue that the value has been lowered now that it isn't original. Sucks for a seller, but is great so the guy who just wants to enjoy a 6-speed.
...spent money on stickers and badges instead of taking care of the car...Quote:

Edit: isn’t there a service interval around this mileage? It could be due for several things, which I assume the seller hasn’t taken care of based on the other things previously mentioned (Vanos, valve adjustments, suspension is probably toast, etc.). The S54 is definitely a different beast, and is the reason I decided on a ZHP—my budget certainly allowed for an E46 M3, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to deal with having one as my only car.
I’ve been thinking about doing this too… Any pointers? I’ve got a DJI Mavic Pro.Quote:

To get that shot without over exposing you’ll need to either wait until it gets dark enough or purchase ND filters for the lens.Quote:

Cool, thanks. I've been thinking about getting a set of ND filters. Maybe I'll just pick ip a set so I have more flexibility in the time of day at which I can shoot.Quote:

I was thinking of using waypoints to set a fixed path and then just drive the predetermined route.
You barely need any speed to get a blurred motion background. The one I did was 1/60 at under 10mph. I know 1/30 would be even greater. At much farther distance you will need longer shutter or faster motion.Quote:
