E30 Zone

Rolled an E30 cabby?? Or know/seen a rolled cabby???

Looking at the angle from roof to boot tip (which the car would rest on, if up turned), I was wondering about potential for survival for all passengers, esp rear passengers. If the windscreen pillars bend, then everyone is fecked????

front ok
back gonna's

Pretty much! The ones in the back definately ain't gonna be happy

Windscreen surround's a lot stronger than in a tin top though for that very reason tho, & I can't remember the last time anyone was in the back of mine. Well I can, but I don't think it was likely to roll then...

I thought that which is why my kid goes in the front when she drives with me!

Wondering what prompted the question.

Are you thinking of driving up a ramp at 60mph+ and doing a flip a la James Bond?

ive never rolled my e30 but have rolled a convertable an alfa romeo spider scary stuff but the windscreen surround held up quite well but the car was a right off .

Rolled a golf gti 3 and a half times into a field. Coppers came, really concerned "You ok, you ok," etc etc. Saw the badge, change of tone..... "Going a bit fast were ya....."

Have just been thinking about what would happen ifI rolled mine. Not that I'm planning to!! Barrell jump is a piece of pi$$$ hahaha

Haven't rolled a cab but since we are confessing our sins here as well I rolled a Ford Sierra Laser in a field. Some might say that was an improvement though

Good call!!!

My car rolled from the road, flipped on the verge and cleared a low hedge. I'd only had the car back on the road for a week after having an alarm fitted.

The alarm still worked and all!!!!

There are a couple on the http://www.quarrybmwspares.co.uk website as shown below....

The one with the crap 6 spokes had the same side windows pop as my golf did!!! Just looking at the website now.. V Depressing in places

It was my own field so I was used to spreading shite in it. I have to admit that I've owned 4 sierras though. I know I'm setting myself up for a flaming but I'm a Ford man from youth (from the first time I drove a tractor !!

Back On topic the windscreen frame has held up very well in those pictures shown.
