Mine thinks it is more fun to drive than her E46, but regards it as a hobby rather than a serious daily car. She'll happily drive it (well) but won't take it on motorway trips.#
edit: I've been told to add "but she's not afraid to chuck it around"
that's me told then

My fella actually likes both of my E30s, which is something of a miracle, being as he is a car-hating motorbike rider 
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is
My wife liked my 320i and appreciated its retro appeal. She always prefers to drive our E46 coupe though as all the controls are lighter and it doesn't have the E30 bus like steering box. She'll happily admit that the E30 was the more reliable of the two!

My wife is a reluctant driver,would sooner take the bus to go shopping...
.....and prefers driving an '85 Toyota Starlet....
But is quite happy to sit in the passenger seat whilst I enjoy myself.She does drive the touring every now and then when there is no alternative,but has yet be let loose in my cabbie!

my wife loves my car, and she liked the other e30's i had also
she'd rather i spent money on my e30 getting everything up to scratch (and the correct amount of cylinders
) than keep buying $hitters every 6 months or so

one hated them, so she's an ex and one of the reasons i dumped her on her arse is becuse she didnt like me being involved with cars
the current GF like the cars and is happy for me to get on with it. she'll even come to shows/meets with me. vikki has had the pleasure of meeting pacerpete and few others from here.

my wife likes my current E30, she can only drive auto's so she did have a shot of a 320i auto i had a while back and she enjoyed it .. she say's she felt quite safe driving that one
she also liked "the look" of my old E30 cabby but hated being in it with the roof down! she say's it didn't feel safe & she felt over exposed! ??
on another note: my youngest daughter said she'll by me another cabby next year as long as i give her my i_S
i had to decline her offer

my girlfriend has never driven my car, i wont let her. She says she hates it and that i think a lot more of the car than i do her (there might be something in that) yet she's always first to spot and point out other e30's when we're out in a excited way.

Mine likes E30's and would own one, but she won't own anything less than a tech2 kitted 325
She likes my car, but thinks her Golf is superior because it can get over speed humps without scraping
