I've just sold an E30 I bought in 1999 :(. My 'new' Touring has been in my possession for about six months.

had my current one five and a half years and it runs even better than it did then with only 64k on it now 110k. I have run e30's since 1997 but fuel prices might finally put paid to that in the next couple of years.

Owned my current e30 for about 6-7 months, done a fair bit to her in this time. She is 21 yrs old and I'd be more than willing to own her when she reaches 31yrs old! I absolutly love it.
I've had 2 other e30's over the years aswel :D
