Geez, that's sucks man. Well hopefully your ok. One thing to consider is that water cannot make its way against gravity and it cannot displace air in the motor unless there is a breather hole. That being said it could have very well gone in the exhaust and just stopped with no where else to go. So maybe you just got a free engine detail.

The door behind the car looks wide enough. We don't have that huge door over here

I would protect my e30 (1991 Cabrio) instead my M3 F80 for sure! Spent quite some time restoring this year, now she's a real beauty.

aozer · 10-09-2016, 10:05 PM

Damn, that's a good looking car.

Deutsche-Broke · 10-09-2016, 10:13 PM

I love that... Would do the exact same thing..

doccyber · 10-10-2016, 04:37 AM

That is true love.

classyfast · 10-10-2016, 09:12 AM

Saw this on fb....lol yeah he definitely isn't married! What I can't figure out is that e30m is at least a 30k+ car, how the hell do you not have a garage for it? That would be priority number 1!!

Maybe he's feeling a little backed up from all the stress of the storm and needs a little help with a movement.....

PARTS@STBMW · 10-10-2016, 11:42 AM

Fakemike · 10-10-2016, 12:20 PM

He also has a video of him backing out of the doorway on his Instagram.

williemandowa · 10-10-2016, 12:45 PM

I would have done the same thing for an e30 m3
