How long in feet is an e30, specifically a 2 door cabriolet?

It's 2 inches shorter than an E46 Touring...!

I know that doesn't help, but thought I'd tell you. I'm sure it's about 14 foot though...

thats what I thought, about 14 feet!! So do I buy a car cover for 12- 14ft cras or 14-16?

Reckon it'll be the latter, thatnks for the info!

I dunno. I've got a car cover that my Dad had on his Jaguar XK150, and it fits like a glove. I know this is of no help AGAIN!

If it's an indoor car cover, go larger as it won't blow off... but if it's outdoor, get the smaller one, it'll be tighter.

If you are really desperate to know I'll go out to the garage and measure my brothers 325i Cab, which has a cover on it.

The BMW handbook says 170.3" = 14 feet 2.5 inches

Funny that!! I work in a dealership and an old gent is part exchanging his 318 on a b plate. He had his hand book so I looked in it!!

I've gone and bought the larger one and the car is just over 14 foot!
