			for the banter obviously  
 
 
they could be here as ex e30 owners or potential e30 owners who are looking around and finding they're feet or they could just be here to kill some time  
 
 
still eb interesting to see how many zoners are currently without e30's at the moment though

			*Puts hand up*
Oops i'm still kicking about. Only sold due to insurance and I can fit more uni crap in a audi estate. I will own another e30 in a few years time as a toy. I like the banter, especially the current council banter at the moment. Naa i just like e30's and the way they drive, but not the way they rust

			I Dont have an E30, although over the years have owned the following ;
- 325i diamond swartz black SE
- m3 with 3.5 m30
- tech 1 4 door in white
- 325 converible dark blue.
One day I'll be back in an e30!
