What annoys you the most about your E30?

[Cypriotgeeza]

Her drinking addiction also is a problem im learning to live with..

Re cup holder- saw this the other day on YouTube- anyone tried them?

[magpie]

people seem to always ask me if its a 320 because theres no 325i badge on the back... i'm going to buy the badge..
Oh and the other thing that annoys me is i brought Ronal LS and i should have got OEM BBS...

Try owning a tech 2 sport, "ere mate, is it a m3??" is the normal cry.

i've been asked if my cars an M3 a few times in the 9 yrs i've owned it ... make's the wry grin hard to hide

Re cup holder- saw this the other day on YouTube- anyone tried them?

That's pretty smart but a lot of $$ for what it is. There was a thread here years ago about installing a cup holder from a passat. It was a flip out thingy that fitted between the HVAC panel and the centre console and was a very smart mod.

[aimlessrock]

Think I saw that mod as well- that cup holder on YouTube is a little pricey but I like how it's just clip in and non destructive. .. if a few of us got together we could look at a group buy- this may bring the price down. - any thoughts?

[Gert_8]

Cup holders?! What's wrong with you people, have you become American all of a sudden that you cannot go anywhere without needing a drink or something to eat all the time?

Just drive. If you want a drink, have one before you leave or stop off... Cup holders, my arse!

Mines always "is that a 325i?" To which i reply Nope its a 335i..then you get the confused face like you just shat on their dinner plate

Am I the only person who's arm is right in that area when changing gear?

I would always keep elbowing it or have to have the bent arm like the woman in the vid lol

Even worse with RHD.

I've never used a cup holder. Don't understand the attraction.

lol - whats wrong with a coffee/ bottle of water when your in your cabby enjoying the sun? (when we get it)..

[Gert_8]

I don't allow anyone to eat or drink in my cab, or any of my cars, for that matter..!

It's like going shopping and having to wait 30 mins for a coffee at starbucks. It's unnecessary.

Don't even start me on the need to go to the toilet!

[ross_jsy]

Gert has enough suspicious stains to worry about without the added hassle of coffee spills

A rare thing that you and I agree on!

Cupholders =

[Gert_8]

You'll probably find we can agree on much more than just cup holders. However, yes they do =

Talking of which, if you really want something useful, just get Ross to kneel on the passenger seat, head down and you have an instant cup/umbrella/small aircraft luggage holder!*

*based on the video clip he sent this morning! (Dan ask him to send it to you).

[ross_jsy]

If I sent that to Dan, my bill is going to at least double!

[AndyE30]

Can't never really decide whether to 'stick or twist' so end up never ever actually doing anything much, just the odd drive to confirm/remind myself that needs doing, that needs doing......

The toilet point is fair comment and something I had not factored into my thought process. The holder does allow for two bottles- this could be a solution for those who have a bladder the size of a walnut.

What's your take on ashtrays?..do they also suggest a familiarity with an alternative lifestyle

[Gert_8]

Ashtrays are for old school mugs! Why smoke, when you can Vape.

I was following a car the other day, it looked like it was steam powered.

[mikemike]

yes have the same problem with the brake warning light , and with the whining noise , my mate in the garage says he cant do anything about either

[hennabm]

People referring to their 2 door saloon as a "coupe"

Or a 3 door WTF.

[Speedtouch]

Slightly iffy glovebox torches - great idea, but they invariably go flat when they're needed most, or disappear behind the centre console.

I have one on my E39 that also doesn't work.

[DanThe]

Even when the torches work they are rubbish, the backlight on my phone is brighter

[Ajsingh]

The fact that i don't have one... that annoys me! Lol

[Speedtouch]

Hehe, check behind your centre console - that's where a lot of them end up, for some odd reason...

[madaboutthe30]

The M badge on my grill leads people to assume its an M3 replica - if it was an M3 replica, it would say M3

When I take corners quite quickly the back-rest part of the seat rocks. It turns out a small white clip is broken inside the seat which I can't get hold of.

[bigade]

When something goes wrong on my 5 door I just laugh.
Still think I spend less on an old car than I did on a more modern one.

the hartge badges on mine confuse the fuck out of some folk,

if they see the badges i normally get asked "whats that then?? never heard of that one" sometimes followed by "is it the same as an alpina??"

does get boring after a while.

[ah]

Never being able to finish it,just when you think you've just done the last job another one crops up.

Not having driven it for about 5 years...
