After meeting a few zoners at Durham and Ferrybridge, i was supprised to see a wide age range of owners.

I don't think this has been done before, so here goes.

22, My 325i is my first beemer. Just getting a new ticket on her which is gonna involve about £500 of welding, so I reckon I'll probably keep her for a little while longer yet.....

25, have 2 E30s and one of them works!

Ive had my 325i Sport for 4 years and bought a 318i touring about 2 months ago.

As much as I enjoy driving either of my parents much newer cars (aircon, satnav, electric everything and cup holders) I will be sticking with the E30 8)

Hi,
21 and on my 1st E30, a 320i. Next one will be an E24 M6 when I qualify as a doctor and start earning. Will keep the E30 forever though, I'm pretty fond of it.
