I saw a silver 320i touring driving along Fosse Islands road in York today. It looked to be in pretty good nick from what I could see from the kerb. Then it turned right into Waitrose, must have been lost 
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap

I drove 1200 miles up to and around Scotland last year and didn't see one other E30 on the road.

Car park at my new office normally has three parked in it; mine, a bronzit chromie and a delfin quattroporte that is rapidly losing the fight against tin-worm.
They were like hen's teeth when I bought mine, but they're bloody everywhere now.

I was in Ireland last week and only saw one, a suprisingly unmolested black facelift four pot two door. They are disappearing fast around here, even without my help
They are now very old cars and as most are foooked, using one as a daily requires lots of time and money to keep up to scratch.

I see 3 on a regular basis here in Liverpool, all convertibles too;
Silver 320i SE chromie,
Estoril blue 318i SE
Black 325i sport.
All 'older' drivers too. The 318i I've been behind a couple of times on my way to work down the dock road, makes me laugh how it wallows and dives around the 3 dock road roundabouts with it's super high suspension.

Chap near me has a red 325i plastic bumper cabby, we share the same mechanic apparently and the mechanic reckons mine's the more solid of the two. Few around Ipswich, mostly rough drug dealer spec cars but also a few nice ones. Seen a couple of cracking original spec cars around Colchester with older gents driving them. One bloke near me has a mint 635 Highline daily driver, I want it soooo badly. Bit off topic but my mates old fella has a sub 100k '89 Carlton GSi 24v owned from new and looks showroom fresh. Every time I see him I ask him to sell it to me, he's a pensioner and would be far happier in a Honda Jazz.

I see a white sport everyday when I look out the kitchen window
Oh that's right, it's mine,
There's a few round my way, sometimes see a dolphin 2 door on 9j borbet AM's between warsop & four ways, there used to be a white M3 rep in warsop but I ain't seen it for a while.

There are loads near where I live in South London but I've only seen one Non-Sport 325i that isn't a Cab or Touring anywhere in the last year. They are getting to be the real rare machines nowadays.

I've started driving around Hammersmith, Shepherds Bush to go work now, and I literally see one or two different E30's a day! No chavvy mod cars, all OEM nice looking motors.
