E30 Zone

Just wondering how everyone feels about what car they look to own/run after they move on from their E30?

I like the older style beemers, always fancied the old 6 series, a nice late highline 635 in black, or possibly M6 if I was suffiently flush. Love the E28 shape too.

Had the good fortune to have the free use of an 02 316ti last year, it was a well balanced car but massively underpowered. Also have driven my boss's 645Ci on a couple of occasions and new beemers are just so clinical. Traction control reeling in any fun. After a couple of weeks it became automatic practice to hold down the traction control button for 5 secs to disable every time i got in the car.

Now look at my little Ԛ£500 bargain beauty below. With the bodywork sorted for about the same price, it should be a little minter! Happy Days

Have an Alfa 164 rotting in the garage, wonderful car but don't think i'd go back to that marque.

TVR cerbera/dodge charger 440RT

failing that i'd like to be able to afford aVW type two camper van with a 2.4. type 4 fuel injected engine with a big fat turbo on it!!

also would like an e34 540 v8 or an old rover P5B....

basically anything RWD and with a big fat v8 up front

It doesn't seem to be working, must be my crap instructions!

I haven't thought about what to go for after E30 ownership, still lots of E30s left for me to own....

TVR

Ford Mustang

E39 M5 or 3.0d

Not much difference between those two is there?

not really! the M5 is obv faster, but think of all the time you waste stopping for fuel

plus the 535d (twin turbo) is meant to be a bit of a screamer

Zayan, mate, it sort of works but takes absolutely ages to show the pic. Is the photo too big?

As a realistic return to future BMW ownership id look at an E46 330d or the new E90, E60 too big for my liking as an owership prospect.

Gonna be moving onto something small and cheap for the near future tho

It should be around the size of mine, I can't see the pic myself!

i'm on my 3rd e30 so.......................... there's still a few left yet to try! cabby, 2.7, touring all tickle me

E28 M5 + E34 M5 + E34 B10 Bi-Turbo

E46 M3 can't think of others at the moment

A vauxhall monaro what a tool 6ltr V8 yum

gonna be a while before my e30 ownership temporarily ends but a TVR would do nicely cuz the sound is awesome!

Pretty sure its single turbo rwd - twin turbo's were 4x4

AH MAN there goes that dream
pretty sure I saw an ad ages ago for a 2.6 tt rwd but just confirmed they aren't OEM that's for sure!! Altho the R34 is

just 1 more ok 2 both of bootymans super cool rides

pps i also want all of your cars so if you want rid feel free to donate

okok last 1 a hummer h2 just so i can be the biggest twat on the road

There's 1001 cars that I'd love to own, & plenty that I actually expect to at some point! But at the moment I wouldn't say I want anything different! For a fun, practical convertible, I really don't think there's anything else at even close to the price! Especially not that I could maintain myself...

john

Had 45 so far everything from a Panda to Scooby and 911 not too many left that are attainable in reality?

A ur Quattro for me, but in pearlescent white...



Or if money is no problem then it will be a sport quattro..

I think it will depend on how old you are at the time of changing.

Heres me 49 next, owned most older type Bm, Have owned my 840 for 3 yrs now, it was a car i had craved for many years but it wasn't enough!!!! . In feb this year i got my 325 sport, OK it needs plenty of work but it is a statment i think that i'm not ready to get OLD !!!!!!!!

Aston martin DB9 would be my choice on the back of a lottery win.

the extention i'm working on the guy owns

Aston martin db9 05 plate
aston martin db7 cab
jag xkr supercharged thing

he's selling the DB9 as it's not practical! but the other 2 are?! only had it a few months and he has kerbed a wheel up nicely too! The cats sit on the other aston as it's not being used!!! the jags a "pool car" for the family........................................

An original E28 with a 3.5 engine (no mods) or a 911S (late '60s /early '70s of course) come to mind. As far as newish cars go, a Lotus Elise or even a Caterham 7 should be a lot of fun too.

Oh, and a Ferrari Dino - the sexiest sculpture of a car ever made. Or any other Ferrari (as long as it's not by Bertone), at a pinch.

Or a Ford GT40. But that's beyond aspiration!!

Got a massive list but top at the moment is a Ferrari 355

Cheers,
Bryn.
