Edit: he actually has 6 doesn't he, not just those 3 in his sig.
It's actually eight now (plus an iS and a 318 2 door), although the red one in my sig is now dead!
I get plenty of other cars to drive, including a '06 535d sport, and a brand new 318d last week, and none of them come close to an E30 in 'driving experience'.
The E30s are also the most reliable by far (after they've been through my workshop) that I come across.
Its a shame you don't offer a BrianMoore Service, I'm sure more E30s would survive if you could have a look at them every couple of years :)

I guess you've got your hands quite full as it is, of course.

Slightly out of date now! I bought a 325 touring with aircon shortly after I wrote that, and have just arrived home with a £150 bargain red touring on a K plate, out of the ads in the local paper. Only a 316, but looks reasonably sound.

I've just bought a 1990 Diamond schwartz black M3 with black leather, 16''bbs wheels here in Ireland!!
Sold my 2005 Golf Gti Dsg to make room for the m3,
Going to use the m3 as a good weather everyday car and I have an Audi s3 (2001) for the bad days!!
Bought it on saturday, won't be getting it for about 2 weeks though,
I was genuinely shocked that the car hasn't a bit of rust on it at all!!
Unbelievable condition can't wait to get it!! :mad:
