Another helpful and enlightening contribution from the vertically haired one, above. Cheers mate! Hope it helps your pointless post count accumulation!

Tensions are running high here, as was probably likely in a discussion that touches upon the relative merits of different e30s - I don't think anyone is saying 'techIIs are sh1t', more that their appeal is fundamentally different to techIs, despite their similarities in specification. Is it really right that techIs are worth significantly less than techIIs though? Especially taking into account their relative rarity. And it probably is true to say that there are more molested techIIs extant, simply because they are that much younger and for some reason, more resistant to rot (everything's relative!) than techIIs - I'm not convinced that this says anything about the aesthetics of either car though, certainly not in any quantifiable way.

And 4drs are the future - it may be just the Diddler and I saying it now, but you lot just wait, oh yes!! :D

Well,

Perhaps im in a good position to add to this argument. Iv had 2 Tech 1's and no im on my second tech 2. I prefer the looks of the tech 1 but finding a nice example without it being full of rust is near on impossible now hence my decision to purchase a very clean and unmolested tech 2 sport instead....

The Tech 1 looks more old skool and the drive is much harder, maybe sounds slightly nicer as well but performace wise i cant tell the difference between the two.

Both cars left as standard are nice as they are and personal choice dictates which you favour. I love my new tech 2 in Lachs Silver and its going to be kept standard and maintained to a good standard,.,,,
