id rather work on a 300 than a bmw or porsche any day of the week

e30 is a joy to work on, last era of cars along with miatas and stuff that were actually meant to be worked on by the owner. with a few exceptions (rear subframe bushings, U-joint, figuring out old Bosch motronics systems the first time) everything is stupidly straight forward. give me a bentley manual and the factory trunk lid toolkit and i can basically part the whole car out.

new cars, boosted cars etc have way too much shit crammed in the engine bay, and the new "cover everything in plastic!" shit only makes it worse. that's why i hate the Cadillac. liked that car up until i had to do an alternator.

This lol. If you bring a Deville in with a potential (key word potential, it's usually just the seals) crankshaft oil leak you stand a 9/10 chance they tell you to get it the Fuck out of their garage and they won't be working on it.

Even my dealer was saying Fuck this trade it in before they realized its just valve seals.

Everyone panics and thinks you need to drop the engine at even the slightest sign of trouble in the pan...

Was funny reading the official forums complaints and then experiencing mechanic-bias first-hand myself.
