Two black sports on a driveway near Bognor and a clean black facelift 316i running low on BBS (without centrecaps) on a roundabout in Worthing! sadly I was in the office Skoda but it's nice to see a whole bunch of E30's running about! :D

theres a few down south to be fair

i fairly regularly see some around my town (emsworth - 10 mins from chichester) that have older type owners

and see some around the portsmouth area, always nice to, 2 memorable times i saw e30s...

in my old is comming back from fareham way towards portsmouth about 60 mph, and a touring flys past doing about 90, i thought thats an e30 (as you always do) and speeded up to catch up and take a look....but he just wouldnt let me gain and it unfolded in to us both having it at xxxmph !!

then in my sport... was comming along that same strech funnily enough, not had the car long, and a tech 2 sport comes along, hes in the lane right next to me on the inside, we both give it the thumbs up and smiles and cruise along side by side for a couple of minutes, until he signals to exit on the slip road, a final thumbs up and i then give it foot down and ofskis , brilliant, 1st and only sport ive saw on the road whilst in mine

aaaah.. that's a bit rubbish.. there's a few daily drivers round here too.. an old boy up the road has a garaged bog standard 320 facelift, there.s a woman who shops in sainsburys round the corner with a red chromie, there's a couple of old workhorse tourings and even a baur just off the seafront! although I haven't seen it for a while.. I see a really clean dolphin grey facelift coupe on the way to work every day too, complete with placcy BMW hubcaps! 8)

There's a beautiful silver sport in my village. Looks very clean and well looked after. I usually see it parked up, but saw it coming in the opposite direction to me a couple of weeks ago. Young lady driver. Nice to see :D

theres a grey m3 on a D plate, up end of my mates road, think hes owned it since new, was there early 90s all the way through, used to walk past it every day and admire, my mate says he still got it and saw it there last summer, although its garage kept, ive yet to see it, might knock his door when my sport is done

Lots of e30's round my way. Many molested and dropped to the ground but a couple of clean cabs and a beautiful silver tech 1 sport i drive past daily. Love seeing them on the road, a breath of fresh air.
