What annoys you the most about your E30?

[M3KUK]

Bloody Glovebox, utter shite for a quality car!

[Split_S]

They are in the garage. Parked. Waiting for f*ing spring!!

[TriggerFish]

My glovebox is locked close to save the embarrassment.


My main gripes are the lack of aircon, having leather seats (combined with lack of a/c they're even worse, but at least they're heated for the cold morning starts, although I'd still rather fabric), and the lack of crash safety.

[sadham]

There's always something that needs fixing on it

[Cloggy Saint]

Crap tailgate design on the touring.

[aimlessrock]

Sounds petty but the absence of isofix Tangs for the kids car seats.

[Doobit]

Everything squeaks, and every month a rubber component needs replacing!

[reggid]

retarded dash material

[ChrisHC]

The brake pad wear warning light still coming on even though I took out the instrument cluster to solder the resistor. I suppose I shall have to try again, the black tape over the warning light is starting to peel off!

[Cypriotgeeza]

Fuel consumption lol

Cracked Dash

[Kryptonite]

Electrics.

[SeanOB]

the little rubber insert that goes around the front fog lamps. never stays put

[fb]

Brake warning light on check panel comes on when ever it takes the notion,brakes all good!:?:

[BackinBlack]

The whining noise from the passenger side! Strangely only happens when the other half is in the car.....


Oh, am I in trouble

[M3KUK]

Check control brake light warning, me too!

[Topblag]

Lack of power.

[paultv]

Useless first gear 3.73 LSD

[paultv]

Check control brake light warning, me too!

Check your earth spade connectors are clean and tight on the rear lamp cluster metal frames, both sides - I soldered mine with a wire, the problem has gone away.

I know this isn't an advice thread but.....

That most people seem to think they're not reliable enough to be used daily. I am happy to keep proving them wrong

used mine daily for a few years before pulling it off the road,

been all over the country in it, sat at 80mph++ on the A1 up past drax on the way to whitby,

came into its own on the country lanes past pickering, saltergate was "interesting" to say the least

[Kryptonite]

Doesn't say 'M3' on the back.

[sprog]

people seem to always ask me if its a 320 because theres no 325i badge on the back... i'm going to buy the badge..
Oh and the other thing that annoys me is i brought Ronal LS and i should have got OEM BBS...

Try owning a tech 2 sport, "ere mate, is it a m3??" is the normal cry.

[Sanchez]

No one mentions rust so I will!!!!!

I fully intend to go the other way! She's going to be a 330, but I'll stick a 316 badge on the back I think.

[Cypriotgeeza]

People constantly asking if its for sale..

Then you get the "I used to have one..regret selling it" speech
