Yeah I forgot that i had a 2 door E30 as well in the past. It had engine problems & wasnt worth fixing coz the body work was shabbee. I ended up breaking the car & made a lose. :( So 3 E30s so far. plan to buy a E30 M3. Sport Evo would be ideal.

I'm 46 (47 next month)...

Currently have 2 E30s (325 is for sale, though)...
These were the first E30s, but I've had plenty of other Beemers (1802, 2002, 2002 racecar, E28 520,E28 525, E34 530) and plenty of other cars...Lost count of how many, but my other "love" was Alfa Alfettas...Had a 1.8 saloon and 2 2.0 GTV coupes.

on my 4th E30, 6th BMW, and 10th car, and supposed to buy another one for Er Indoors today!! Dodge Durrango :D the Z3 is too small for her rapidly expanding belly and my drive is too small for my rapidly expanding line of cars so the Z3's gotta go :cry: but not before i ''bed'' the new tyres in for an afternoon winkeye

but still my favorite car is my cab, prefer it to the sport and the Z3!!

24 years old here!!

Love the beemers, but i also get bored with most cars quite quickly!!! (Can't bear to part with my 850CSi though which i've had about 3 years now i think!!).

Started with a mint, very mint 320i coupe with most of the m-sport extras, in silver-blue metallic!!
Then had a 318 donated to me by a mate, was a bit crusty and very dull white paintwork!!
Then saw a diamond black 325i with cream leathers, air con, azev-a's and could not resist winkeye Sold it when i bought my 850CSi and instantly regretted it - just as i was about to buy it back from the guy i sold it too, his mate wrote it off round the corner from my house :x

Was without an E30 for a few years but now on my fourth - black 325i touring with black leather - will be modded very soon!!!

Funny how it turns out, wasn't really looking for any of the cars above but stumbled onto them!!!! :cool:
