need some opinions....
 

alright i traded my crx for a 1992 318is and the thing is hot it looks pimp it handles even better but its slowness got me thinking...my friend did a compression test on it at his shop and it was like 75 100 50 and 30. now i dont know a lot but i know thats bad i think its supposed to be no more than a difference of 10 right.... well any way the car still runs but i dont know what to do or what it is...a valve, a few valves or maybe a ring? no idea does any one know of any ways i can figure this out or if they think i should sell it or fix it and i would not be able to fix it myself because i dont have the tools or time or even the knowledge... anyone with any ideas besides burn it please...i found a 1997 M3 engine for around 2500 too but thats a whole different story. any ideas or help would be appreciated thanks

You got ripped buddy... Its your call on the M3... It would be sweet but I have limited knowledge with BMW's and do not know how hard the swap will be. But if its cake... GO FOR IT!
