What E30 Items Dont You Like????
Moderator: martauto
I really hate those feckin factory option cassette holders in the centre consol. I also really don't like gold coloured 4 doors with biege cloth interiors. Can't seem to get excited by one of them even if it is a minter. 
I have one of those cassette holders. I though it was cool but my elbow knocks it sometimes and they open up.E30Gheko wrote:I really hate those feckin factory option cassette holders in the centre consol.

Well i refitted my 80's Alpine pull out tape deck for Gaydon so i fitted the cassette holder at the same time.Cotty wrote:Do you still use cassettesbss325i wrote: I have one of those cassette holders.I thought I was the last. Only went CD a year ago
I bought some compilation cassettes from 89/90 from when my car would have been new but the novelty soon wore off and the alpine cd head unit went back in!

Petty but I hate the fact touring rear wipers all end up with that grey bit that you can not get to go black what ever product you use. Oh and the bit of rubber at the bottom of the rear screen that shrinks 

I liked the fact that when I had an auto I could roll fags whilst driving using my knee to steer.Cotty wrote:rebelcruiser wrote:automatics![]()
I learnt to live with mine, engine has been chipped and the second kickdown when it launches still makes me grin like a loon
Also hard to beat in traffic light drag races. Always used to lose the other car when they had to change gear
I did a 16.60 second 1/4 at Santa Pod (avata pic) not shabby for an auto. Need to watch it in the damp/wet as it can easily send the back sideways even without an LSD.E30Gheko wrote: Also hard to beat in traffic light drag races. Always used to lose the other car when they had to change gear
My mums 1.4 metro was silly. It didn't really have gears, just reved to 5k and stayed there, no changing gear as it didn't have them. It used to beat XR3i's, you used to see the other car drop back when they changed gear.

I think my E30 has most of the things people hate - 14" wheels, angled chrome exhaust outlet, mud flaps, chrome, bronzit. Lucky thing I have ditched the beige interior, comfort seats and cassette slot console!!!!
