the e30 holy grail

[dano0]

what in your opinion is the holy grail of all e30,s
Is it the first or last one off the production line or an early tech 1 sport or later tech 2 sport or alpina ,hartage ,ac schnitzer .m3 ,ect ect

i only ask as I'm all ready planing another resto and i want it to be ultimate e30 this may be years away but it will probably take that long to source the daddy or mummy of all e30,s

thanks in advance for all you comments

[Rickz]

Personally I think its the Tec-2 Sports but the M3 is the real daddy..a converted RHD one is the nuts :p

[320Touring]

a 320touring in alpine white..

the search for the holy grail ends on my desk with her keys

[Ollie_bwoii]

A black chromie lowered on bottletops! Well that my opinion, don't know anyone else who has it!

[e30cossie]

dolphin grey m tech 2 with black leather.

[eko]

A nice Black 2dr no sunroof shell.
A blank canvas for wherever my imagination takes me

Otherwise a nice Lachs Mtec1 always stands out to me

[poolnoodle]

A South African only 1985 333i (mmmmmm chrome) or an Alpina B6

[capri_rob]

One thats rust free.

Or a B6s.

[e30bmlover]

e30 m3 s3.... e30 m3 ravaglia... in that order.

[Elecblondie]

A group A prodrive m3



Not really a viable option though .

[Morat]

I'd like a nice 325iX Touring with sports leather and aircon, preferably with 4 electric windows, heated seats and cruise control but I guess I could add those later

LHD isn't a problem.

[HartgeH27]

Totally biaised I admit but one E30 I have never found or seen;

Hartge H27SP

Is this the fast version of yours? SP- Snails Pace??

Personally, chassis no.1 or the last one. Or maybe anmm Evo!! I think they're fairly alright!!

[harry_p]

M3 sport evo, red or black, I'm not that fussy. Shane they're all a long way out of my budget.

[tylerma]

Hartge H27SP

good call

SP was the ITB version of mine, giving 220..........would love to see one but never been seen .....yet !!

[steve_k]

holy grail?

got to be a any e30 with zero rust an engine that runs sweet as a nut (& won't overheat or breakdown).

has all the toy's.

& most important is that it won't ever let you down & is allway's there to put a smile on your face at the end of a real bad day.

[Ziggy]

Probably a B6S. A H35 or a sport evo would do though.

[Daf318is]

A group A prodrive m3



Not really a viable option though .

+1 if it was possible! An M3 doing what an M3 does best

[jaistanley]

For me it's be a three: One: My project car finished!! Two: A totally mint Sport Evo and Three: A DTM prepared for trackdays..

Mmmmm

There is one known one in the UK isn't there? That red sparcock'd one that bloom fella found.. Shame he threw all his toys out the pram really

[scootlife]

that silver Alpina cab with the red leather.. the first one they made and has been topic of subject many times on this forum. D...VVO i think was its plate.. A real beauty

[ImysE30]

I'd quite like one of these

[Felix79]

For me the M3 Alpina is my holy grail of e30's

In my dream garage I would have

Alpina M3 (e30)
E34 Alpina B10 Bi Turbo
E36 Alpina B3
Ford RS200
Ferrari F40
Aston Martin DB6
Jaguar E Type ( but moddified )

I'm not being biased here but for me it has to be the Tech 2 Sports. No other car has had such an impact on me these cars. The kit is smooth with no jagged edges, the BBS rims look perfectly suited to the car and it sits just right. The lines are timeless in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Alpina versions, Hartge's etc, but when I saw my first Tech 2 nearly twenty years ago it was literally 'Love at first sight'

I better stop now as I'm getting all bleary eyed.

Hehehe I know where your comming from , my love was born from a radio controlled car I got when I was 5 or 6. It was a Red DTM M3 and from that day I loved the e30 shape.

[hubble]

Spotted two E30's in Railway station car park yesterday. In there, there was your usual E90, Merc's and other posh cars, but what caught my eye first the trusty E30! Brilliant!

LONG LIVE THE E30!

[oakey]

It has to be the 1st e30 ever made really doesn't it?!
I wonder if there are any "prototypes".

[robbo86]

320is for me

[hubble]

320is for me

Yes Agree. Love these too

[robbo86]

I like them because they are a little understated! Bit of a sleeper. Ok probably not earth shattering performance compared to an m3 or other types of e30 available (not incluing modified ones, but I wouldn't know becuase I haven't driven one) and far more within reach than m3s.

I'd go with that, it's not like you buy an e30 for earth shattering performance anyway.

[swindler]

EVO 2 M3 !!
