Hi there,
I have just joined after buying my first E30 about 18 months ago. It all started because I asked my then 15 year old son what sort of car he wanted for his first car, after giving him a budget. Then after driving his for a year until he got his licence, I had to get myself another car so why not an E30? He has an S2 318i coupe and I wanted an almost matching S2 318i sedan…. So I bought an S1 323i sedan. (one out of three ain’t bad eh?)

Anyway, I am loving driving the car and working on it (which is the main reason I wanted something a little older as a daily)

I am also writing a blog which follows the trials and tribulations of running older cars on a daily basis. If anyone is interested in a laugh, there is a fair bit of E30 content.

This is the expanded version of how I came to be driving an E30 full time

Liking your expanded article... Love old cars.. Vintage an all.. ie.. 1900`s onwards, I used to drive a 54 series 1 landrover an my dad's 1950 series 1, also used to drive a 36 Austin 7 Ruby which I drove to France, an in a cracking thunderstorm... Ha ha, I currently have my dailys, a 1990 rangerover which my wife also uses an my 1990 e30 M tech, a 63 mini currently nearing completion an a e28 M535 undergoing a recommission... I catagorically hate new cars.. There just objects... 😎👍
