Depends how fanatic you are about cleaning it. I had a white M3 with 11x17 rear and 9.5x17 fronts and it was fantastic looking, but boy was it hard work keeping it looking that way. If you regularly clean and polish it, then it gleams, but if you dont, the colour will soon dull and look stained and it will not look too good so up to you i guess winkeye

like booty man said, if you keep it clean it is quite cool. My bro has a white nissan almera and when it is clean it looks great. So i say Yes to a white e30

As a rule, i hate white cars, but i have to say the E30 does suit it much better than any other car i can think of. I'd still prefer a darker colour though.

Yes, white is cool!

Best white ever is the pearlescent white they used on the quattro. 8)

Trade values say white is not cool, but personally I like it on an E30.

White touring, waxed about 14 yrs ago, covered in dirt, howling down the outside lane at the back of your merc Eclass at 100mph, be afraid, be very afraid.

Alpine white rules, esp when uber mucky-looks proper "Schlaaaaagggg" stylee

Day to day cars yep, it looks crap, especially as normal cars don't get washed often, but white suits a sports car, RS 500, RS 200, quattro, M3, Lancia Delta, as Jeremy Clarkson said, nonone makes nice white cars anymore and it was considered to be the best colour for a car, he even made reference to the Pearl ur quattro.

Not really a fan of white cars but mine was such good value I couldn't turn it down, was really after a dark blue one. Looks great when freshly cleaned though.

I think white E30's with Tec2 kits look the dogs danglies. Although not usually a fan of white.

The only white car my dad ever had, he ended up hating it

Red cars look like their speeding even when they are parked !! :cool:

I have had both black & white cars, both look great when clean but pants when dirty. (which is usually the very next day :( )
