Bringing my BMW E30 home went surprisingly well, thanks to some careful planning and sheer luck.
. When you hear of a running and driving E30 for sale through a friend-of-a-friend of a work colleague, you make an effort to traverse those relational boundaries in the name of a good deal—a $1500 deal to be exact.
Having seen a few pictures of the engine bay and significant rocker rust, I decided it looks good enough to fly out to , and at least try to make it back to Brooklyn. Armed with a one-way plane ticket and two weeks to plan, what's the worst that could happen?, and the Pennsylvania State Police would all agree that a lot could go wrong—catastrophically wrong, even.
After examining photos of the engine bay, I saw a few cracked vacuum lines and hoses, a run-of-the-mill problem on any aging car. Packing some additional vacuum lines was in order, but I also noticed a severely cracked hose connecting the idle control valve and intake manifold at a 90-degree angle.
Brazen confidence can only take you so far, and I knew this before I even turned the key. As such, routing was also an important consideration. The straightest shot east would have been Interstate 80, but the Pennsylvania stretch of highway is relatively rural and had fewer BMW-specific repair shops.
