Just bought an E34..not a patch on my E30

Hi all, I've just made a BIG mistake :( I have bought a '92 520i auto to replace my '89 318i. Well not really to replace it, I just fancied a change to be honest and apart from tappet noise, my E30 drives superbly and looks really cool :cool: Having driven both cars today, I really prefer my E30. :r...

Hi, I fully understand your dilemma. You would certainly hate a modern FWD diesel :( OK, you get excellent fuel economy and reasonable performance if you opt for a turbo. The higher price of diesel and additional service costs should put you off. Not forgetting,the complexity of modern diesel fuel i...

I am considering buying an E30 again.I used to own a 1989 320iSE which failed its MOT and would have cost more to sort than it was worth as it was a bit tatty.
I am considering a 318iS too. But the 320i is sweet and that straight 6 is superb! :cool:
