How often do you use your e30 ?
Moderator: martauto
As title says, How often do you use yours.......I use mine every day and i was wondering when other people use theres and if they have another car aswell as the e30.

Daily, and for everything, mine's my only car...
The wife has a Hyundai Getz, but I only get in that when I have to, it's BRIGHT yellow...
Horrible to drive too, compared with the E30. I prefer driving my old Vauxhall Nova to the Getz.

I used to use it every day, but then the engine died and I embarked on my TT project which meant I didn't have a car for over a year.
As I was carless, I started cycling to work and back (which is only 7 miles each way) and even once the car was working again properly (March 3rd last year) I kept on cycling.
It's saved me a fortune in petrol, I can eat what I like and not get fat and it keeps the mileage down too which is good for the insurance
Like Delboy says, I appreciate the car more when I do drive it which is usually just at weekends.

I drive the Cab. on weekends mostly and it's on a limited mileage policy anyway.
£50 of petrol usually covers me for a month unless I am off to B'ham or Manchester (my regular haunts).
I use the bus/tube daily and use the tube/bus on the way home.

i use my touring everyday, 50 miles a day at least depending on where i am working
Alpina when it was running was used for the odd nice day for work, but mainly for meets,weekends and the odd evening when the mood takes
If i could i would use a bus or cycle but i can't carry all my tools on a bike!

I know what you are all on about when you say you appreciate your e30 more when you dont drive it as much, I used my e36 for most of last week and used it over the weekend for going to my girlfriends and that coz she lives in a ruff area and the e30 gets way to much attention round there.
I will be using the e30 tomorrow and for most of the week and i got her out to go and put 20 quid in before, I couldnt believe how excited i was when i was getting ready to take her out and when i got in and started driving i was grinning from ear to ear

Everyday. 16k+ a year.
Definitely a better car for being used everyday.

My sport hasn't seen the light of day for over 6mths....
Never gets used since I saved up loads of money to buy a supposed "sports car" and got wanked in the face by a standard Focus diesel in my first week of ownership. Hmm, wonder why everyone is growing out of outdated '80's tech? I have done less than 6 miles since I paid over £700 to get the little slag through an MOT.

I use it everyday.
Using it only on sunny days or weekends is 1. not possible for me cause I just don't have the money for a 2nd car and 2. an E30 is too much fun using it so sparely ;)
