I was searching for a bmw site as im interested in buying one. I have a Civic just now and im selling it pretty soon.

Anyway while searching i came accross this site, and while not being familiar with bmw's (YET) i didnt realise the E30 is the older one. I BELIEVE i am looking for the E36? I want a 2 door coupe. In Silver maybe.

Are there any forums (as good as this one :wink: ) based on the E36 or even just a bmw orientated one.


Cheers!

Cos it's old school cool!

The six pots sound the tits.

You can get Limited Slip Diffs on more models than just the M3 (unlike e36s).

You can work on them yourself because they aren't overcomplicated...

Many more reasons!

Its probably down to personal preference, but I much prefer the E30 looks over the E36. It just has more character and is :cool:

If you have a VTEC'd Civic then the E30 325i is for you...

Innit Dave!
