[dannyboy759]

I dislike body kits, apart from the factory fit stuff and stuff by Hartge Alpina AC and so on.

[Bob_S]

highbacks are far comfier chairs.. thats why I dont have a sports seat infront of my tele!
What I dont like? 14" bbs
beige carpets, no side skirts, rust, m42's,

[Cloud]

All the fu'king rust!

[Alex]

[cliffybabe]

I dislike the shadowline kits and black replacement grills

[Alex]

I dislike the shadowline kits and black replacement grills

is that because it replaces chrome

[Jhonno]

I have a chrome grill and no shadowline

Eyebrows.
They completely ruin every (E30) car they're put on.

[Simon13]

[stonesie]

Rust and factory mudflaps.

Bonnet opening forward and deliberatly slamming down the minute you stick your head in the engine bay.

both my chromies did that but all the plastic bumper cars ive had are fine

[StuBeeDoo]

Where do I start?............

1) BBS wheels
2) Steel sunroof panel
3) Huuuuuge steering wheel
4) Slow steering
5) Forward-opening bonnet
6) Final-drive too low
7) Sport and comfort seats crap
8. Standard engines not torquey enough

There are probably more, but I've got man-flu and ain't thinking straight.
I've addressed all except 4&5 on my Touring.

Never had the problem since I replaced the strut
I dislike the way the E30 parts are hard to find and expensive in Australia

I think you need an E36!

[StuBeeDoo]

Naaah! I just keep looking for more rocking-horse poo for the Touring.

[Joshy]

Pointlessly high insurance groups - Group 12 for a 316i is ridiculous.
Rust.
Scene tax.

[Falkster]

The panel under the steering column that never stays on!!!

[Cloggy Saint]

Everything about touring tailgates

[darkchild]

My only real E30 dislike is the under geared steering. Over 4 turns lock to lock is a joke.

[Speedtouch]

Rusty rear brake disc backing plates that allow the handbrake lining retaining pins to pull through

[Flozman]

that my automatic shifter is cock-handed and the lettering is on the wrong side

[Joe-318i]

the glove box, i seem to always break the handles for some reason

[Blitz]

Rust, Rust, Rust and Rust.

You have highbacks in front of your tele ?????

On a light car in matt black I think they look ok. I don't like them colour coded as they look a bit gap toothed
