    If anyone is passing through Santa Barbara?

    Hello, it's "Mark in SBA" under a new moniker.

    It's been years since my E31 has been replaced, but I still have some gear left over that needs a good home. New thrust arms in the box, hardcopy repair manual and ETM, old issues of R&T, and most importantly, the much lusted-over original jack socket extension. No charge for all this stuff just be the first to claim it. No selective skimming - you gotta take it all!

    You can contact me via this website's private messaging.

    Thanks everyone. I've got a recipient.

    Enjoy your E31s. I've gone over to the dark side with AMG.

    Spiritual successor to the E31, in my mind. I prefer the M156 normally aspirated 6.2 liter V-8 over the newer turbocharged V-8s from AMG, even though they produce more power. The turbo'ed MB engines have this weird "rubber band" feel to the accelerator pedal. Plus the NA M156 revs to 7,200 RPM and the engine is specific to AMG and not shared with other, ahem, lesser Benzes.
