You just need better outside hobbies maybe a nice snowmobile....LOL They sure are fun when there is snow. It seemed like N.E had become the Greater DC area weather wise for awhile but, we have had snow the last couple of years. Speaking of snow I need to work on my snow blower attachment...
Why I never moved south is is too unbearable in the summer and I enjoy the snow. On the roads no but ski. Colorado would be best but there is no ocean within an hour.
BMW no longer makes 2.3L blocks but still casts 2.5L blocks but no longer will they sell them to US market so most are left to import from a 2nd party . There are no heads available either. It's sad since this is the car that really put BMW in the light. Porsche when we know is far smaller...
I can sure understand the suffering of NLA. As an E30 M3 owner we go through that as well. You need some more pain and suffering if you love the 200Q wagon how about a 4000CSQ? I added a Calloway unit to mine decades ago to just get it up to 200hp. Was super fun on dirt and gravel roads...
