Well ad the title says i used to have a nice 91 alpine white 325i i was going to make a nice project car. I paid $1,000usd for it with only 83,000 mile on it. But one tragic day during winter coming home with my dog in the car, the dog jumped in my lap as i was coming around arounda turn getting onto the highway took my eyes off the road for a sec to move my dog got onto the shoulder jerked the wheel back slid out on the salt and gravel. The wheels dug into the dirt and flipped the car my dog was thrown out and was hit trying to cross the highway, i now and another dog and now need less to say i am now looking for another e30 to finish my build.

Sorry to hear about your dog and car. Get a touring next time and put the dog in the boot behind mesh. You will have that Labrabor look that Volvo estates have but at least you will be able to keep more than the wheels of your car.

So sorry to hear about your dog.
They just can't be replaced like cars.

Thanks to all. Everything is good now though, got another dog and now on the hunt for another e30. I just bought an e36 drove it for 2 wks or so and turned right around and sold it, after owning 2 e30s an e36 just didn't satisfy me, dont get me wrong id like to own a newer bimmer but for now i need a 30. As for a touring i would love to have one IF I COULD FIND ONE. there like looking for a super clean e30 m3 for $5,000. Nobody has that car here, if i had it i would be nothing short of a god.
