That is one dream MO-CHINE! My daughter wants a Beemer (which makes me wanna disown her, JK). But at least she has decided she wants me to teach her to drive a manual and do all basic service stuff.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
