Hehe, yeah i sometimes end up going for random drives at 2oclock in the morning!lol. They are so good and fun to drive. Dunno what it is about them but i love it! They handle well, they are positive, pretty quick. Plus the looks it gets......and the sad fact that when i drive past big shop windows you cant help checking out the sharknose reflection and the sleek lines as you drive past!lol.

same as man, i drive a different motor for work all week so the e30 only gets use at weekends and its all way an ocassion for me.
my first car was an e30 323i which i had 11 years ago and ive had loads of cars since and nothing touches the e30.
mines fully stripped out at moment and i am lovin it even more, e30s are just so nice to drive.
big up the e30

I have owned a fair few cars myself and being young it's not the same but the e30 is the only car I drive which physically makes me smile

gotta love the e30's, i also go on random drives at all hours of the day. i cant help smileing when im driveing her about. shes never let me down(iv had her a year) and she starts first time every time. what more can u ask for? they are the most definative car on the road.. you take one look at an e30 and you can say......... THAT IS A BMW, all the other cars tend to look the same to me.. or maybe im just looking through rose tinted glasses!

I love my car, she never let's me down, i can thrash the nut's out of her and she just sit's there and idle's as if i had'nt done anything. She has alway's stuck a smile on my face where ever i go, as old as she is you alway's get the odd comment every now and then when you drive past some people slowly, "That BM's well phat!". Not quite what i wanted to hear but i know what they mean't in English lol Especially when you light the tyre's up

Know exactly what you mean mate, picked up my 86 E30 cabrio at 19.20 wed,s eve from warwick took it nice and steady all the way home to N,pton.Within a mile of home thought see what she can do,booted it coming off a roundabout done a complete full circle spin and ended up on a grass verge,engine did,nt even blink. Seats were dirty before spin, filthy now.

there is a lesson to be learned there... the moment you lose respect for them they turn around and bite you in the ass.. like my 320 did to me.

Post Sat Apr 22, 2006 12:15 pm

yeh i used to rag mine everywhere and it loved it... the smell it made and the whole thing was an event.

still get a lot of looks in the silvia but a lot of them are from chavs who think its a skyline and are concerned by how much power it has

E30's rock, we love driving them because the engineers who made them purpously put some thought into making them feel as good they do

Even my turd-like-at-the-moment E30 (getting better every month !) feels awesome

I was just thinking the same thing today. Ive just come back from a random 30 mile drive round the local back roads! The noise the car makes now is simply gorgeous. I couldnt help driving with the window down and loving it.
