Just been sat looking through my old photos of previous cars and suddenly realised how much I missed this beast. Oh, I know it ain't VAG but its gotta be one of the best BMW body shapes there has been IMO. Just got me thinking how nice it would be to never have to sell an old motor so you could revisit it every now and again eh :sad1:

A mate of mine use to do that. Its why he ended up with 45 cars at my last count for a number of years in a unit at an industrial estate he has, But he never bought new expensive cars just used ones. The reason he cleared down to around 20 cars was simply forgetting to Sorn them or tax them he kept getting stung in fines.

Lovely lookin Beemer that! :notworthy:

That is lovely, my favourite shape of beemer too :happy2:

E30's becoming a bit of a classic now, something I think will never happen with the E36.
One of these would be fun!

The E30 is a timeless shape and it was a lovely motor to drive but by god was it thirsty as hell! And it spat me out of a roundabout the wrong way on more than one occasion. It was mint to and still pushing out 189 ponies when I sold it. A week later the guy totalled it into a lamp post :sad1:
I would have another one any day! Especially one like this:

^^^Beautiful.
What I love about older cars is that their silhouettes are instantly recognisable. These days all cars look generic.

.
I too used to have an E30. 1989 2-door straight-six. Sold it with nearly 140k miles on the clock. :notworthy:
-
ive always loved the E30`s too, esp in grey :happy2: an old guy round the corner from me has a grey 325 on a H which he says he will never sell, hes owned it for years and years. it would be a great buy

Not got many unfortunately as I didn't have a digital camera long before I sold it on but here's a couple.

Love E30s, good ones are getting pricey now though.
I'm going to build a race car out of a 2002 one day, my absolute favourite classic BMW.

Isn't that the one that had the first mass production turbo's engine? I'd be going more down the lines of this.........

....maybe not in green though :sick:

Ive had quite a few cars over the years, mostly Jap. The Golf is my 1st German

That's a tii in mid-air, the 2002 turbo had wide arches and was indeed the first production nutter-mobile!! Great cars. That CSI is a peach too.

Not been to the BMW museum but been to the Group B rally revival the last few years and they have a classic motorsport auction. There is some serious car porn there too! Not to mention they thrash the old group B cars rounds a track :driver:
