Whats the worst comment you've heard about your E30?

[Z3I]

My mint 1992 cab was sitting there, looking as good as it left the showroom in its brilliant red paintwork with 30k miles. I'd just finished polishing it.



A casual caller to the door selling tarmac drives said "If that car gets a problem for you, give me a call 'cos I'd probably give you more than the scrappy would"




He wasn't joking either. Thanks mate!

At the petrol pump, finished filling up and went in to pay. Because of the way the station is I ended up being sandwiched between two cars that were still filling up.

Looked to the rear and spotted there was a gap and I could reverse back and out I go, the only thing stopping me was the owner had his door open. So, I asked whilst I was out of the car for to close the door so I wouldn't damage it.

His response, 'the petrol that I'm putting into my car is worth more than the car you are driving'. To say that I was taken aback was an understatement!

Its a sad reality that 99% of people look at e30's as scrap metal. When i had my M3 i lost count of people offering me £500 for it or asking 'why have you bothered with a bodykit on that old car'

[vendetta]

i had a red 320ise i used to park it at work and the lads called it biffa because they said it was a skip and not to park to close incase the skip man took my car away by mistake

The other day at work some stupid little 17 year old girl was talking to the other chef and he was saying that I was about to leave... She replied, 'Does Jim drive then?' My mate said, 'Yeah, his is that classic Beemer outside", she followed with, 'Ergh, how embarrassing!'...


WHAT?! You dirty little tart... She got a Ford Ka for christmas and she thinks its better...

I hope she crashes...
Aha

[Morat]

I drove into work in my Fiat Coupe for the first time in a couple of years and the nanny looked at it, looked at me and said "But you don't drive a sports car! You've got that old wreck!"

There's very little point explaining to someone that shallow that the E30 is a better car in every way except for outright speed and impressing dizzy tarts.

[madaboutthe30]

My friend took a look at my engine the m20b25 and goes, "it doesnt look like much of an engine in comparison to the e36s........." just because my engine isnt covered all over with plastic like the e36s are!

well my friends 323 anyway

Thats harsh i would of took his door off anyway.

[darkchild]

Can't say anyone has ever said anything negative about my E30. All the comments I've received have been very complimentary as people appreciate seeing something different on the road.

[danbear]

The worst i've had is some hoodlums saying 'why is he driving an estate' wouldn't mind but its a Touring

[Jozi]

I've had a few ask me "whats next, kids?" upon seeing the touring. Good friend from Holland loved the car though and could see the practicallity of it over a coupe/4 door.

[bigredbmw]

people have just said to me to scrap mine and stuff like that but when i tell them it got wrote off in february but still fles thru its mot they look shocked

[b4gga83]

I did think about it!

[sihooker]

I mainly get..."ooh, is that a 325i? No? Oh." Coonts!

[jaymos]

I mainly get..."ooh, is that a 325i? No? Oh." Coonts!

i refuse to tell people what engine is in mine

[pac1982]

I've never had a negative comment about mine just good ones, the most common thing i hear is "thats in good nick for its age" or "i've always wanted one of them its my fave shape of BMW"

I'd have said something like "so whos the bigger mug me in my old banger thats going up in value and will sonn be a classic or you in your modern dull car thats drops in value everyday and is only built to last about 5 years"

plus its not even yours, it belongs to the finance company

[TheHeap]

My mates are like this. Anything with more than 70,000 miles on it and older then 3 yrs old is a wreck in their opinion.

But who do they ring for a lift or a tow when their poncy motors break down? that's right, ME.

Fools

I was showing my car to a couple of mates since I had just got it. One of my mates turns around and says "yeah it's nice but why didn't you just add a few hundred and buy a clio?"......

But what does he know!

You should have slapped him and told him to go away and think about what he just said.

After I heard him say that I locked the car up and started a conversation on something else cause I knew he didn't have a clue.

But majority of people like it and appreciate it for what it is. I mean it is a pretty cool 1st car

A Porsche boxster owner at the lights said to his dolly bird "look at that old knacker" and she laughed

Id love to know what he said when i pailed it off the lights and put him in the weeds down the dual carriageway (its M30'd btw)

Apart from that all i get is positive comments

[beemerbird]

A friend of my fellas asked me if mine was a 316.

I've never been so insulted in my life. My car is a 325 dontcha know?

[hazd31]

The fella i worked with said it when i rocked up init, (e he was driving a brocken 1.2 clio)

[tez180]

"That interior looks like my grandads socks."

[George]

"Don't worry, now you've got a job you'll be able to buy a new car" (People at work)

"OMG, that's so cute" (Stupid girl)

[dom-1984-320i]

I dont get any negative comments on mine, friends do always ask why i dont a modern car instead. To which i reply, 'wheres the fun in that!!'

[LagunaE30]

one of my mates once said i should give it in to the scrappage scheme and buy a fiesta instead.
i have never spoken to him since.

[bmw9818]

i get negative comments more taking the pis from my mates evry otha day, keep saying its gonna break down, or my engines gonna blow cause it sounds so tappy, and apparantly its ugly and looks like a box!

Its a 60/40 drop but with the M30 hanging over the nose its more like 65-70 at the front

0-60 i dont know its running a 3.64 diff, also i launch it in second as first gear just lights the tyres up,
Ive read on here someone timed one at 5.7 seconds
e30.de reckon 6 seconds (if you can get traction)
