i can get one just like that for £500 (well crack on then).

is it an m3? (if its a sport).

my dad/uncle had one like that, an alpina i think it was.

thats a couple i've heard over the years.

Not the public, but my wife... "Why have you bought that? People will think we can't afford a proper car".

Every time I tell people I have E30's they always say 'oh is it a M3' :roll:

To be fair when ever I've bene out in it, people always come over and reminisce about them, their parents, uncle, best friend etc who had one and how much they loved it!

Did I hit it? Never mind, it's only an 'OLD CAR',, Grrrrr.
Why don't you chop it in for a newer one? (New plastic spastic, electronic nightmare, no thanks)
Nice but heavy on fuel aren't they? (No)
How long has it had the boy racer skirts on? (Always).
And
Insurance company, "Can't insure it at agreed value, it's too old". (that's that whole point).

And a whole lot more but usually compliments and fond memories.

I always say "make me an offer as I know what they go for" as everything is for sale at the right price, if you want it then pay the monies but they think you are naive/clueless and can get the car for £2k.

"Do you mind if I take a picture of it?"

That was said to me at Dover when I was waiting for a ferry, by two lads who had walked down a line of Ferraris, Lambos, Astons and other exotics without stopping. The exotics were off on some sort of Gumball event.. It quite impressed my wife who had no idea that E30s were much admired.


Not actually an annoying thing of course!

the local rep for the H/A i'm with thought they were pretty cheap till i gave him the full spec of my sport & then showed him the agreed value for the insurance (minimum £18K) & i told him if he wanted to buy it he'd be looking in that region price wise before i'd even entertain the idea of selling to him,

i couldn't help but laugh when his face dropped :D :D
