Seriously u choose to drive a 320?

Would be a bit better if u start a simon13 bashing thread?

Tell me this why do people take the bait everytime on here? The only theme i can find is that the people who react drive 320's generally. I find it makes for a better discussion than arse licking each other
Simon.... I've really got no intention of dissing you or your car, it's not my style. Everybody's got their favourites - you've got yours, Ive got mine. Neither is it my intention to start a thread "bashing" you.
Have you ever driven any E30's other than '25's/'27's?
I'm sure I've made my point, and I'm happy to leave it at that.
Yes, I seriously choose to drive a 320i. OK, so it's a bit thirsty but I'm working on that issue. As a result of this thread, I'm seriously thinking about building a '23 Motronic motor for my Touring, when I get time.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

Bummer about the head gasket Dude :o
Let's have a post when it's back on the road with some driving impressions please. I'm still seriously contemplating building a 2.3 for my Touring.
