You know your in a E30 when...

[ConvertChris]

I get asked by my bird "Why are you waving and flashing your lights" when I see another E30, I say it's because it a car the same as this, she says "I don't think they are as stupid as you are, it's an old car," She is starting to get on my tits now, what with slamming the car doors and putting her handbag on the boot lid to find her keys and saying " it's a leather bag it won't scratch your precious paint work" Jeez, it's not just an old car, it's my car!!!

[chazmcdonald]

when you get speaking to someone in the the pub about cars an you tell them youve an E30 an they nob their head an say the PROPER shape happened to me last night when i was out for a few jars

+1 on torquey- I work all over the country and I hardly see any at all! Infact I was in milton keynes day before yesterday and from s.wales to milton keynes and back I only saw a green tourer.
Its great cos you would loose count of astra's, golfs, saxo's ect.
I've seen 3 e30's on all the jobs I've done over the last 4 months!

But when I do see 1 I get excited lol

Was in an L reg as I saw that on the way to work, would've seen my E30 parked where the hockey stadium used to be if you went in the centre but

[e30-EVN]

I was working in haha bar and grill, its being refitted into a browns bar and grill, I think its near the police station,

As for the green tourer,,, I couldn't see the reg plate as I was on the bypass above on my way out of milton keynes, it was on a roundabout in traffic

[MattTheHat325]

when you spend weeks coming up with intricate ideas, modifications, styling improvements and engine conversions, then one day you just look at it parked on the drive and realise you love it just the way it is

[Speedtouch]

You try to sell your 320iSE and end up having to part with your 325iSE instead.
