Most BMW dealers have a launch for the new 3 Series this Saturday and have a version of each 3 series in the showroom.
Here are an E30 320is with the 4 cyl M3 engine and an E21 320

Yeah the new N20 engine has a few different power options down to mapping and use of the turbo and they will badge them according to the power output.

Thats cool! The 320iS belongs to Noah (E30_KIDD) and the E21 belongs to Richard from BBB. I helped to load them into the transporter yesterday.

I offered the sales manager my E30 plus some other equally nice 3 series for the launch weekend but they decided to use a Z1, Z8 and an M1.
Go figure.

i had a Dealer constantly phoning me I offered him an M3 but he also needed an E21, it's damn hard to find a good E21 that won't drop rust/oil all over the showroom !!
I know Keirans rusty turd was rejected for a Lachs silver sport down in stockport

Nothing going on in my local dealers today either, except the manager reminiscing about all the E30 M3s he let slip through his hands

Ive no idea what my dealer has going on, its been months since ive been there purely because BMW have turned into complete and utter rip off merchants and I source most of my parts elsewhere now

I dont like the new 3 series at all, the front is too long and looks like an elephant has sat on the bonnet.

My dealer didnt do any of the sort. Didnt use any older cars to promote the F30
They did and still do have a white E93 320d M sport to which they let people draw and write on with dry wipe marker pens. Ok its a laugh but i really dont understand what that has to do with launching a new model
E30 Crazy!
