I think what you are actually asking is "what is the average age of people reading this thread" :)

Where is Si13 and his favourite phrase? :D

Im 31 now.

My very first car was an e30 316(318 carb) back in september 1998. It was the cheapest plastic bumper model i could find locally. I paid £2500 for it with its 4 doors, alpine white paint, steel wheels, non pas and wind up windows.

I owned many different e30's after that but have since moved on to bigger, newer, faster and more practical cars. Its doubtful i will ever own another one to keep.

Yes.

I have an excuse. I partied hard for far to long.
I was born towards the end of 1974 so I'm pretty young for a zoner lol.

Hi

What good news for the E30 that so many of you are younger and will be able to keep the E30s in the limelight for years to come.

Me, I’m 54 and I would not have dreamed of owning an E30 when I was younger because when they were new too many 318s were driven discourteously or dangerously by people on there way up!

Chris
