Hello guys,
I've been a long time lurker and admirer of these great machines. I was blessed to find and afford my M Coupe last week. This car has been one of my dream cars for such a long time.
I was lucky to find a completely stock, unmolested Dakar MC with impeccable service history. I bought her from her original owner since 1999 whom was a lady in her 50's.
These cars are extremely rare here in Turkey (7 cars to be exact) and this particular Dakar car is 1 of 1 ! :) :)
The car was everything I hoped it to be. Fast, great looking, compact and wild !
Of course it needs a couple of things like fixing a couple of oil leaks from oil pan, transmission fluid and etc. Of course some interior buttons and coverings have faded in time which will also require fixing but for me that is half the fun.
That's how I fell in love with my E30 M3 too :)
I will attack with my newbie questions although I've been searching a lot :)
First of all, the handling. It has waaay to much body roll. The car almost gives a wheelie when you step on it ana dives on every mild brake. Any upgrade suggestions ? KW perhaps ?
Clutch. Very very hard. My mech tells me it might be running out hence the stiffness. Is that true ?
What would be the general priority faulty points of these cars ? I know vanos is a common complaint and so is the squeaks here and there. Any other pointers ?
Here are a couple phone pics but a proper photoshoot will follow in a few days,
Without further ado, here is Tweety :)
It's great to be here, Thanks for looking.
