Huge following,especially in California.Prices are steadily rising on average to above average examples.E30s are definitely on their way to classic car status.

What's the differences between European spec e30's & Yank e30's?

I can see side markers I know they are pretty much standard in the states?.....

Is the light on the boot oem?
The Internet - It has proven to be worthless, and is nothing but a repository for perverts.

The 3rd brake light is OEM.They're many small differences in US-Euro e30s starting with the headlight/grill setup,no headlight washer or leveling option,no boot tidy.
I think most US e30s came with a/c,no 15" weaves.etc.
