E30 Zone

Ive just gone through my service history and had a look at the log book

I got my Sport on the 26th Oct 1995 that's 12 years of Sport ownership....

How long have you had your E30 for ???

Had mine going on 5 years now

Nearly three years now ,never kept any car longer than this!


Mart.

since last september

My dads had his M3 for about 8/9years not exactly 100% sure.

Mine will start soon enough

a year and a half but only had 2 weeks with the bmw engine.

Had my sport for nearly 6 years, till she was written off

Had the Tourer now for just under a year

had mine for 2 and a half years, longest i've owned the same car

about 12 years not

4 years this month!

comin up on a year now and still puts a smile on my face everytime i drive it!

Two years now and loving every minuet. But the last two month

Had mine for 9 months!
Longest ive ever owned a car was 14 months(RS1600i)

Just under 11 years for my wife's touring; the red one in the sig. (which replaced a 318 saloon). Over half of those on LPG.

11 months and Bl@@dy lovin it

coming up 3yrs i believe, by far the longest ive owned a car!!

just over 3 years for mine, far the longest i've had one and no plans to sell it anytime soon at all.

I picked her up 10 weeks ago yesterday!

I don't normally own cars for more than a year.. This is my 4th E30 and the only car I've bought the same model of more than once

Got mine in December 96.

about three weeks now, still learning the ropes but loving every minute

about a month and a half for one, and the next day for the other

Got mine July 06. Second longest car i've owned. (Mint sierra saphire 2.0i Ghia Longest 18months)

Over the years I've been offered silly money at shows, one guy offered 10k for it not long after i bought it, i declined at the time but as the years passed i kicked myself as i witnessed the value of them drop

It will never leave me now, its original with genuine Alpina's on which cost me £1488 at the time so it would look as genuine as possible

I remember the first day i drove it and felt important on the road cos i was in my black sport and they were in demand, i was proud at the age of 19

Kieran,dont live in Wythenshawe by any chance?

had mine(1991 325 conv) just over 5years , 47k on the clock when I bought it, 2 prev owners, now on 121k, used it as a daily, never let me down untill last week (alternator failure) good thing was broke down at j11 on m25 managed to turn off motorway , 3 cars stopped to help me push it to safety ..... restored my faith in human nature..........best of all its going in for a full respray with dips, 3 months waiting list in after bank holiday , just sorting out rust on wheel arch just starting to bubble , small paint sinkage around washer jets, and parking dents stone chips, all minor , car cleans up nice but after respray it will be a posemobile with roof down...
Balck, black leather,dechromed, air con (working) pwer roof (working) hard top , was going to get hard top colour coded untill dips told me how easy they are to steal off the car...... (can you tell still lovin ownin it)...

The red (325iturbo) has been mine for about 3 yrs or so, the white (316ilux) for about a year and the black (318i 4dr) one for about a month. Had my first e30 in 2000 (318i z 4dr), so 7 yrs of nothing but e30's even the misses drives one

LOL,i know what you mean
Was just curious cause i remember one on the road next to mine.
Matey always out polishing it,i mean like weekly.
At the time i just took it as another BMW,didnt even know of the E30 bit
Their was me,cruising in my MK3 Escort thinking i was da man

One and a bit years now, but does it count that my dad had it from brand new in 1987? I was 3 then, and some of my earliest memories are the journeys up from South Wales (he managed 2 coal mines down there during the week) back home to Leeds at the weekends. When I saw it going on Ebay for £200 and I recognised the numberplate I just had to buy it back

Good story that ^^ but broken service im afraid

4 years in july

lovin every minute

4 years in April. No plans to ever sell her.....nothing out there thats interests me more.

1993 Lux Cab.

2 Months and haven't had the pleasure of enjoying the E30 experience yet, It's been in Garages since day one not that it needed it though. and have no plans to ever sell, Looking foward to July/August where the majority of the big work will be complete.
