Fancied another thread on E30s
So what do you love about driving your E30

?
I like the sound from the BMW NA I6 and the exhaust and the reverb
Also love driving it in wet / damp conditions and show boating or drifting

I must admit that one particular 325 touring I had was very impressive in third/fourth gear acceleration. Proper fun with the right opponent could be had

One day, you will have spectacular accident and end up with lots of points. Let's hope no one gets injured though

If you drive like the way you do a lot of the time you are increasing the odds of an accident.
You of all people should know that number cruncher!

Pony, all those issues should be easy to fix. Take the car off the road for a couple of weeks and give it a bit of TLC.
And a good detail , it will look and drive great then

Forget the detail quick hand wash for £5-10 will do for me
I don't have mechanic skillz so can't fix so have to get a mechanic to fix
I don't mind helping out and getting my hands dirty might even learn something and maybe save labour billzzzz

Maybe Pony had a really strict upbringing and this pathetic/childish behavior is some form of regression to reclaim a lost childhood?
Just a thought.

A lot o f pony bashing going on there..
Pony, your skills will only improve with practice. Keep practicing! The tech1 is more than capable of handling things.

I don't drift around roundabouts although I pushed over the limit deliberately the other day
I can drift continuously in circles as I have done it at Millbrook but never done it on public roads
