Not worth selling mine, for what I would get for it, so I might as well keep hold for the time being, even if I get something better.

Prediction: Over time, e30 owners will continue to become the most respected members of soceity, recognition of timeless style, performnace and being legendary top blokes (& blokesses)

60mm springs on standard shocks?! the shocks will be fubared now for sure.

I'd sell all of my 3 E30's for a nice tech 2 sterling silver sport. I'd 2.7 it and enjoy like my old sport. Or a nice calypso m-sport cab would be a lovely cruiser for summer time

Sold it last week, realised I have only done 10 miles in it in the last 8 months and being an E30 it was just starting to rust itself silly in the garage. Fed up with pissing about with old shitters, chasing rust and decrepit worn out parts. I know everyone slags E36's but when was the last time you saw a rusty one? No more old bones for me......

Hopefully selling one of mine soon ('87 320iSE), as it's surplus to requirements after I upgraded to an '88 325iSE. I still think they're great modern classics with decent omph, good DIY-ability, good looks, etc, etc. Porsche performance for pennies - you can't argue with that :)
