I DO!


Ive just sold the touring and im gutted! I got the money i was after.. fair enough but when i saw him pull onto the m6 i watched the new owner in my rear veiw mirror and i thought to myself... you silly c*nt twigg's
Even though i it was sitting on bottle top's it looked good and so agressive!
The new owner is a top man, his name is Henry and he took a 5 hour train drive to pick her up.. I swear fella's this man will look after her. I wont spoil his glory because he has some very nice rims to put on her and im sure he'll be along soon to show you the pictures!
Im so gutted, im e30-less untill tuesday, "I HOPE". However that is one e30 im gonna miss! i loved that car but it had to go to make way for the next project and to pay some household bills etc...

Anyone understand where im coming from and been in my shoes?

Time to change your sig then.

shame was definatly a nice motor.

Yea i always regret bumping mine lol, whats next twig?

4 door, calypso red, sitting on my borbet b's, tech 2 kit, leathers, m50 etc... you know the drill! atleast the moneys is there to help me out now and i already have my rims
gonna miss that touring!

Maxfield, mate i never thought about that

I regret rolling a stripped out 318i I had, there was £5 worth of petrol in it, which I could have used. Bugger.

thanks for that buddy

i know exactly how u feel. i still feel like a right tit

i miss my sport and kind of still wish i had kept it and 2.7'd it but it's too late now.

there were only 3 proper calypso red tourings made, i know where one is because it lives down my way

318i, tech 2 kit too, would be a good project car is this it? from yateley it is

Someone on here on about selling his 325i Sport to buy a Honda Type R thingy, they are ugly as F**k and souless he will regret it.

You just have to move on!

I've regretted selling my Mini 1275GT (highly modified), Capri 2.8i, mk2 Escort 2litre and I will definately regret selling my Mazda RX7 Twin Turbo soon.

But as you get used to the next car, old ones become good memories (well, bad too sometimes) and experiences.

Once your'e all enthusiastic with the next project it will all be ok!!

I regret not taking it easy on the way home from buying my tech 1 sport in the rain.

sometimes regret starting my sport project.

and ALWAYS ALWAYS DAILY deeply regret selling my dolphin grey 325 to missy30. if she was sensible with the price, i would buy it back, but a grand for a 325i with no tax or MOT, knakered door lock, knakered leccy windows and more rust than when she left me is nuts, even if I do know the car.

EDIT - see sig pic for aforementioned car

i'll be sad to see the IS go, i just want it to go to a good home and not get trashed !!

I regret not starting with a 325i and working on that, but i have to justify it because i cant afford the insurance. I remember helping you look for the tech 2 kit on that touring, always loved that car.

i always regret being talked out of buying an e30 m3. I got myself a very very nice 327 cab (probably one of the best ive seen) but in my heart of hearts ive always wanted an m3

i sometimes regret not going bmw for my engine conversion for reliability but then a quick blast on the road usually convinces me i made a good choice, it was what i had available at the time

getting in to them in the first place!

I regret not getting into E30s long before i did

I was into Fords for years but each one ended in tears,BMs are so much more fun

its the money more than anything i think. if i was in a slightly more promising situation i would love it. having said that i cant think of any other car i would buy at this age

Agreed with a lot of what has been said I fefinately regret selling my 944 Turbo S 1 of only 2 Black ones in the country and one of about 70 in the country total.

Totally different animal to a standard 944 turbo, I was offered a "name your price" deal and it had only done 800 miles in the last 12 months so common sense came in ??? the guy who bought it dropped a bankers cheque off but could not pick it up for 2 weeks i took the car out for a last run and thought what have you done ?if i had not known him so well i would have sent him the cheque back with a sorry note! at least i know it is being used for what it was built for it has been to Le Mans twice in the last 12 months.

I Wish i had been able to store the mark 1 and 2 RS Escorts i have owned a good one is worth an absolute fortune now,a mate of mine has just sold an unmolested MK2 RS 2000 for nine large ones !!!!

The E30 30 318 Is and Sport(325i) is going to be worth a few quid in a couple of years a good mate of mine who is well into the VW scene and has contacts all over Europe reckons that the interest in E30,s is now starting to rise, especially in Ireland . Also a good investment will be buying popular spares for them for later years as the Ford RS bits are bringing stupid money if you can source them.

You read it here first!!!! wait and see.

If i win the lottery there are a few cars out there I will be buying back.

theyre very reasonable to maintain compaired to others. my old mk2 toyota celica was a money pit.nobody done parts for it so everything had to be bought through the main dealer.£160 for a front wing,over £300 for a door,nearly £600 for 2 front brake calipers ,bmw are a pleasure in comparison

You sure? I've driven more than 2 UK Turbo S in black.

I saw a Calypso tourer on the M25 last week. It looked awesome.

i regret about not 325i'ing my 320 sooner.

Ste,
A proper Turbo S was a cup car only produced for 1 year they were only available in 1 colour at first a pinky silver colour and were referred to as a "silver rose"
Porsche then decided to allow colour options.

Only 70 odd of these cars were bought and registered in the UK they had no sunroofs,different turbos,harder gear clusters massive brakes,fully adjustable Konis,even lighter glass amongst other things.

Rare as hens teeth are you sure you know what you have driven?

There are loads of BM's around these parts with "M" badges on them?

i regret not buying an e21 because i now like the e30

I regret not buying an e30 sooner

whats so special about the Calypso tourer?

thats the colour boys... its the new black i tell ya

its not a touring by the way im after simon, im buying a 4 door. i wanted to get the touring sprayed up calypso red but it would have cost waaaay to much, got quoted over 1k for a "full respray" which isnt actually too bad but i would never be able to justify spending that much to change the colour.
