E30 Zone

When changing your motor what BMW would you buy next?.

Options given within reason!. We are not that Rich!.

It would be an E30 M3 for the reason that its just the coolest BMW ever!! but i would have liked there to have been an E30 325i Sport!!

I think most of us could get a 325i sport, if we went to see the Bank manager. So I started with the E30 M3 as the first option. Bet its the Poll winner.

Life after E30's, is I think what Im getting at!

E34 M5 mmmm tasty, i love the m3 more but dont like the idea of LHD

I realistically considered a e36 328i as i could have got one after i sold the E30, but since it seemed like a bit of a sidestep (step backwards in some peoples opnion) i got something totally different in the end

The reason for the Poll.

I went to a BMW show today and I found myself looking at other BMW's.

Changing circumstaces ie family/ more grunt!

Im a camper now.

i put down for an e46 touring but id have an m3 of course.. was just thinking if i were to have a new car, it would have to be the best of both worlds.. 330i touring, with eeeevrything included

I would like a 330d Touring E46!

td

Recently ran an E34 M5 for two years and 50k miles. Absolutely awesome driving experience, and even more awesome running costs!!

voted e30 M3

but wouldn't mind an e36 328 coupe or 3.0 M3 tbh

I hate to be a party pooper, but I think my next purchase of a road car is going to be another Audi Coupe. Then my play thing will be an E30...

Mind you, this could all change tomorrow... it's only because I went to the Edition 38 VW show today that's made me change my mind back to the Audi...

Edit: We all knew you were a camper anyway...

e39 m5, e46 m3 or e34 540i v8

None of the above!

Ur quattro next for me.

330td?

330d is turbo anyway

E30 M3 would be the obvious choice, otherwise either a 5-litre 8/7 series, or a 6

got my eyes set on a E34 540i 6spd manuel fully kitted, to god knows wht. de-cat

if you dnt de-cat a V8 its is criminal

ahem, M635i is missing

e30 M3 cab would be 1 semi sensible choice with the Hartge H36-24 as ideal car

E36 M3 in Estoril Blue

E46 M3 when the prices come down a bit.

Failing that I don't think my next car will be a BMW after the sport. Just not enough power. The trouble is, anything I like that isn't a BMW is way out of my price range.

I quite like the RX7's but I refuse to go Jap out of principal. Whatever it is, it'll be RWD.

Good choice, wouldn't mind one of those, e30 m3, intergrale, rs200, 6r4, or a 205t16.

either would do as a play thing, then keep the sport for everyday

Don't think my next car will be a bmw in all honesty.

Idealy.. after i finish uni, get my first decent paying job, ill bite the bullet, pay the money and get myself an escort cos. My dream car

From there, im thinking a noble or some mental spec'd jap effort.

e34 m5 3.6 touring, in black with black wheels

Wheres the option in the poll for "other make" suerly some E30 owners would possibly (god forbid) like to change make!?

I badly want another AMC pacer, preferrably a '76 D/L with the auxillary gauge cluster and the quadrophonic am/fm 8 track 'entertainment centre'.

P.S can some one post a picture of a pacer? , i'm sure some of our younger members have never had the pleasure of seeing a pacer in the flesh so why not whet their appetite !. I am virtually illiterate with computers , even doing this taxes me !

One of these?!

Wil you f*cken hero !!! you've made my day and my night. That is a rare '76 pacer X which is the sporty model , note the opening 1/4 lights that is a rare and desireable option. . My gilt tissue box is now empty i best rush down to lidl and get some more, i have a feeling i'm going to be 'up' all night ! ..........

Just watched Pimp my Ride... they just pimped one. Pete, it would have made you cry. Shag pile carpets on the floor, roof and doors... was proper council with 18" chrome rims... Everett would have loved it!

Glad to know ive made someones night!

Is ur nickname on here anything to do with these chariots?

I've just got back from lidl with 3 packets of kitchen towel , i find it's much better for them awkward 'spills' and its much cheaper than tissues.
Yes Wil you have rumbled me , i have owned 5 pacers over the years and love them, they are slow, thirsty and dynamically challenged but great fun and different (a bit like e28s ,sorry Giles !) Alas i have no pacers at the moment, my current affliction involves jeep grand wagoneers , a big 60s/70s style 4x4 with a 5.9 v8 and lots of fake wood down the side (go on Wil get a photo up, a black one if poss!) . My therapist assures me i am normal !.

Google is such a useful tool sometimes

I gotta see a Pacer in the metal if you ever get another, they look pretty interesting!

I'm speechless, what a thing of beauty, my daily driver (as well as my black 91 325 touring) is a black grand wagoneer, 12mpg is starting to hurt though !

My next bmw move will be to an e36 323i for the winter,
Ill be putting the e30 into hibernation from oct.
