E30 Zone

I would like to blame it on the time of year... but I love these.

This was up for sale just after I bought the tech 1

So its been re-listed within a year... hidden gremlins perhaps!

No that's the door handle , shame about the great big speaker wedged in the door

I must admit, I've always had a liking for these. If they were RWD then I'd have bought one years ago

The fwd wouldn't annoy me... what does annoy me is the fact they have more ponies than a 325i

If I was to buy a second car it would be a Saab 900 aero / carlsson

or 190 cossie.

The Saab is just so quirky and the merc is just a thug.

Love them both. Luckily I'm a pennless loser & don't have to choose!

The old 900 Turbos are lovely - what Saab was really about before they lost their way. Sadly just one model can't support a whole company.

If I was to go for one it would have to be the Aero or Carlsson

I been checking online... very thin on the ground.

I'd say getting parts would be a nightmare

I had an 84 900 turbo. Build quality rivalled BMW and Merc. Paint finish was superb throughout.

Downsides? 4 pot front wheel drive. And chronic turbo lag (16v's were better but not much), Cracking manifolds and weak gearboxes.

I only managed 8 months with it before I moved it on for a proper drive layout / number of cylinders. A 3.0 straight six Senator.

I had an 89' 900 turbo in black with grey leatherzz many years ago, it did consume a lot of oil which made oil changes less frequent but still a very good car, drove solid I really liked it..

I broke down only once and that was down to me dropping some crap down the ignition on the centre console !!

The later 900 in 2 door/convertible from was a classy car in its time(late 80's early 90's) They still look good, and was probably one of the only probably the only car that looked good with 3 spoke wheels.

I'd love to find out more about them model wise. Is there a facelift/prefacelift difference?

I'm surprised how little come up for sale!

This could be a good buy....

O wait no... It's in High Wycombe

Our 'bruv' mates are a lot of things but they are not stupid. You will never see one with a Scab.

As they go, the car sounds decent and so does the owner. The stumbling block is than an E30 325 is a better car in virtually every way.

It's not rwd and won't kill me at the first sign of snow?

Apart from being as rotten as a pear and twice as much money.
