My recently bought boat, that was built in 1952 is younger than me! :D
I'm considerably older than my E30 which came off the line in 1982. In fact I'm more than twice as old as the old girl :(

Am I 20-25 or 25-30? I'm 25...sooooo....do I pretend to be young or old... :mad:

Also, what about the people 31-34? ;)

This poll is a bit biased. :D

Owned one E30 since 01/06/12 and the other since about 14/06/12. :D

Aah, the Neue Klasse. That makes you 80. :D

I'm 44, had my first E30 in 1996, a Y plate 323i. My Dad worked for BMW GB 1982-4 so I rode in them as newly launched cars. Those were indeed the good old days when you saw one or perhaps two BMW's a day.

I'm 23. I first signed up on here when I bought my first E30 when I was just 16! It was a black 318i LUX.

Had many E30's now, and will keep my long term one for the rest of my life without any doubt.
