it was :( i liked the colour to be honest, the arches were a little scabby but apart from that it was solid, had welding done to both jacking pads at front as they were starting to go

just makes me sick the fact i spent a lot of money getting it through its 1st mot after standing on my drive for 3 years, and even replacing things like throttle cables, engine hoses, and bits of trim that were better that what was allready in it and new pedals, gear gators etc from bmw, getting bottle tops power coated, tech 1 wheel etc etc and then this happens :(

and fitting new carpet spent ages cleaning that carpet :mad: :mad:

i'am sure it has e30zone stickers at the top of the front windscreen too when i sold it

If you didnt like the thought of it being abused perhaps you should have taken it apart yourself? Would it have raised as much money in bits as what you sold it for?

i suppose if it needed work then fair enough, i think most people see it as it needs more money spending on it that its worth, where e30 owners dont think like that unless you name is parcerpete and its straight to the weigh bridge :D :D

8O Thats a bit extreem!

Its only a car.

I'd understand if it was stolen and they did that but they own it so its theirs to do what they want with it.

Even if it may have been a waste.

Sounds like the ideal group zone project!

Buy a MK1 GTi, trash it and then post up a 'in response' video on YouTube to the one in the original post. See how they like it winkeye.

just think though, for every E30 that gets smashed up all our own E30's creep up in value. Thats what i think when im at the drift events at Arena Essex anyway cos 90% of the cars there are E30's :roll:
