Swapping at 17 in an e30 is gonna be hefty insurance.
you could buy one, transfer ownership to your dad and become a named driver though.

It's as good as any for a first car, easy to work on etc but as onthames says, the insurance would be crippling. It's all very well being a named driver on someone else's policy but then you never build any NCB.

and it's also known as fronting & is illegal, if in the event of an accident & the insurance find out the 17yr old is driving the car the most then the shyte hits the fan big time.Cloggy Saint wrote: ↑Sat Aug 14, 2021 4:32 pmIt's as good as any for a first car, easy to work on etc but as onthames says, the insurance would be crippling.

if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
