E30 Zone

Makes me want to go and buy one again, screw you. Nice video.

He told me that the insurance wont pay out until the car has been collected and is in coparts possession is this correct or a load of bull? When my car was wrecked, it ended up on my drive and didn't move until we had agreed a value on it.. Then Co Part came and collected it. I guess each insurer i...

You haven't, your speedo is f*cked if you think you're going 140. Probably being overtaken by 150mph Daewoo Matiz's.

Even with an M30 Turbo it will only just go over 140mph on the longest stretch of straight road you could imagine.

Don't know why so many people have to talk crap on here

yes E30s are nice but they've got the aerodynamics of Pat Butcher.

Also, convertible top speeds are lower so you'd have an ever tougher time getting to that point. Not true. I'm no expert but a quick bit of research to look at standard 325 stats, the convertibles top speed is lower. All of this 'but I've seen it and so has he' is hardly proof, especially using a s...

A stardard 2.5 will really struggle to reach 140mph, any guru out there have the figures? 140 on the speedo, as Dezzy said, is not actually 140.

Also, convertible top speeds are lower so you'd have an ever tougher time getting to that point.

You won't be reaching 140 with that either.

So cynical.....

How is that cynical? I think most sane people on here would agree that you have never achieved 140mph in a 'chipped' 320i.....

I'm going to give you an out here and say you meant 140km/h, right?

I think it was the title in all capitals and the general way you worded sentences, I can see where he is coming from. Sorry.

As I said though, as you're 31 it matters not. Just wish I could insure one for more of a reasonable cost price. What is your insurance on one of these out of interest?

you got 140 mph from a b20?

He didn't exactly have much else to go on and to be honest, I went on your writing style as well... No offence.

I'm 23 myself and the insurance is retarded, the difference between this and my CTR is over double.

As you're 31 I guess it's all good.

Don't forget to check your insurance before you buy one.

I would love an M3 but don't fancy paying almost £2k for insurance.

I see the E30 exclusive bummers are using the straw man argument by posting pictures of E36s that deserve a place on Barry Boys. I can't understand the concept of 'It's not an E30 so it's <Insert unfounded comment here>', you sound a lot like a religous cult. As for someone driving an E30 'cos they ...

No, I'm not missing the point, I get 'old school' but what does something have to do to qualify... Just be of a certain age? Of a certain era? Specific style?

Does something get so old it goes past 'old school'? I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks.

How old is 'old school'? Is there a check-list somewhere? What criteria must be met to qualify? Seeing as some of the oldest E36s are the same age as some of the youngest E30s do they count? In 10 years time will people be going, 'Nah, don't like the E46, it's all about the old school..... E36 all t...

Worst adverts on the planet, why did he appear in so many.

no one is buying at the moment ,i have a high spec ,mint 328 sport for cheap money and same thing ,no one has even phoned I was actually interested in that but I'd have to sell my CTR first... And I'm really lazy. I don't know why everyone hates the E36 so much, give it 5/10 years and everyone will...

There is a guy over in Hove I used to use for my BMWs, independant specialist... Pretty good.

I can see if I can dig up his details for you if you want.

Only because you've said you're an ambulance driver in some other topic and I quite often park my car in the ambulance bay bit to drop off equipment.

I very much doubt that, I know you're an ambulance driver...? Maybe you've seen my car at the hospital...

I was really tempted to buy your car Xavi, I live in Worthing also

But I'm taking the CTR around Nurburgring first.. If only it came up a few months later. Looked real nice.

Seems like a good chance to whore some pics of my old car - damn taxi driver wrote it off, anyway, I think these are the wheels Andy is talking about.

On a side note, LOL @ your avatar ade36 - shame it's not a Rover.

I've never owned a car that has had more than 2 doors. I'm calling bullshit. I swear you owned a Ford Puma :D ford puma = 2dr :roll: Technically it's a 3dr! :) You can gain access to the car through the boot unlike an E30 (I may be wrong about the E30 bit, one of the boffins will correct me).

No one has asked this but how did you manage to ram a parked car? (Unless I missed it..)

if it is mint i would be suprised ! it's amazing how many describe theirs as mint when they don't know where to look, I spent 6-7 weeks trawling coast to coast every evening finding one with ZERO rust I payed over a grand for one with zero rust, and it was worth every penny :D hi thanks for that iv...

Why do people care so much?

I'd understand if it was worth more than the change I drop on the street but it's just an old car (/fear the mob).

Video is rather amusing.

In all honesty, I think they're a bit snoop daaawg as has been mentioned.. but whatever floats your boat.

Good advert for your car!

I don't think I'd ever remove that from the garage to be honest, get it behind some glass!

'I was that close to becoming infamous Lynn. I don't want to be infamous, I want to be.... Fa-mous.'

Anyone guess what that is from?

I'm surprised you haven't heard of the courthouse yet... Been mentioned quite a few times now!
