I'm from Solihull and rarely see any e30s

the ones round my side are usually family cars such as tourers or 4 doors with bike/roof racks however I see a lot of cabbys around the small heath/ bordesley green/alum rock area

what is yours DCDC?

I have seen a light blue pre facelift convertible one round grove lane by handsworth grammar school, is it you?

There is lots of cabriolet and general E30 ownership in the Birmingham area. I live 40 miles from Birmingham and was lucky enough to drive through Sandwell the other day. What an eye opener that was :eek:

As said above, every E30 in Brum is a 'sport'.

do you drive up and down the Coventry Road (A45) every morning and early evening? I have seen a dolphin grey sport going up coventry road a few times, I think it has a private plate and looks lowered 60mmish?
