[bigun]

ive had mine about 5 years now

[grantfk10]

I got my Touring from Paul aka M3GTR on the Zone (checkout - http://www.zonemotorsport.co.uk ) and kept her for 2 and a half years before she went on to Graham aka gra325i on the Zone.
I got my Cab from Ben aka Bootyman on the Zone and I've had this one for one year and 2 months so far!
Both are Laguna Green.
I'm hooked on E30s now, and as much as I love the cab, I could see me looking for another Touring (Laguna green? 325i?) sometime in the future.......

[e30bmlover]

just over two years and i have never looked back!

[Hyperion]

i have had my baby for around 3 years now, but it has been in the family for 17 years!!

[Jesus325iTouring]

Had my Touring for nearly 5 years,I love it,missus loves it,even the boys seem to like it

Dom1984, your motor looks mint

[E30Mark]

Current tourer 4 months
318iS 4 1/2 years (Sold last year)
323i 4 1/2 years (Sold back in 1996 i think)

[hubble]

Nearly five years and the longest car I have ever owned

[MONSPORT42]

Bought my 323i new in 1985 and had it for 16 years until eventually the rust got it then bought the current Sport six years ago (which has some of the 323i mods in it!) So I've had E30s for 22 years.

22 years - That's a long time

[d6dph]

Bought mine in sept 05. First E30 and I think I found a goodun.

[tylerma]

I bought mine

16:55 on 17/04/04
very memorable day for me

[munky30]

5 months ago... A lowly standard 316i touring.



Now... a lowly far from standard unreliable noisy overheating 325... Great fun though and its taught me a lot.

[march109]

Got my first about a year ago, but spent ages lookin for it.

Got my second in March this year, and she will soon be broken for spares.

[Jamese30]

I have had mine for 9 years, the last 1 year with it having a 2.7 engine in.

I have only had the 318is for 6 months - and it is finally getting closer to being a track car!!!

[Skip]

Interesting that so many people have found its the longest they have ever owned - its the same for me! Bought my 316i in April 2005, ran it until December 2005 when I decided that I wanted a 325i Touring - found a nice clean one and havent looked back - 18 months with the same car is totally unheard of for me!

No intention of selling it though, now I am into motorbikes the upgrades are going there instead!

[dimebag_from_hell]

I have owned my sport for about 8 months, within 2 days of owning it i was approached by a fella offering me 6k cash

COME ON AC MILAN!!

[hubble]

To be honest I can't see a change in car for the foreseeable furture. The E30 quite simply fits the bill. Reliable, looks fresh even after twenty years and still brings a smile to my face everytime I drive it. The only other car which I would like own one day would be an M5 and even then I'd still keep my E30.

Nothing, but nothing but BMW

Yup - totally agree with that - its fast enough (just), comfy, looks cool and being a Touring fits anything I want to fit in it

[dimebag_from_hell]

I wouldn't call e30's reliable.........i suppose it depends how you drive the car

If you drive it like me then, say no more, flat cap slippers and a zimmer frame come to mind....

[dimebag_from_hell]

LOL!!

[daimlerman]

Past history includes a 320 E21(3 years) a 520i E28(6 years,cryed when it went) The 316 Touring was bought a little over 2 years ago mainly for Calamity Jane(er indoors new name,she works for Stagecoach)to use,I enjoyed it so much I sold the current newish Renault to buy a solid but scruffy 320i with a cylinder head problem.This now has a lightly tuned 2.7 and a leather interior.The overiding reason for the 2 E30s is the compact body size,as they are narrower than most cars,Calamity is able to park them in our difficult,narrow driveway without hitting the wall, most times.Plus,of course,they are fun to drive!!Piccy of my two can be seen in the Ferrybridge meet thread.

[hubble]

LOL!!

I'm serious!

[M3BOB]

14 years, but ive had e30s for 20 now, the list is long 323i, m3,318i,320i,m3,325tourer,325cab still have 4, cabs got to go, dont use it enough

[JohnnyThunders]

Only a few weeks here, but owned 2 previously (in between other cars etc) although never enthusiastically before.

[gra325i]

had my sport for 18 months but have owned an E30 of some description for 4 and a half years

[SK360]

I got my first E30 before my 21st birthday, around 5th of Feb, so have owned my cab for about three and a half months now. haven't driven it much due to the two and a half weeks spent on a total retrim, and was recently involved in a accident where a 'dick' of mini cab driver drove into the side of my car so just plenty of work being carried out on the car. can't wait to get her back, not looking to sell, but planning to keep for a very long time!

S.K.

[Falkster]

Had mine 5 years!

[bmwe30mtech]

2 years this August, bought it when i was 16.

[ed325i]

Had the 323 nearly a year.

[Taylor325i]

Owned my red 325i for 4 years and I will never sell it.

Had my 325i Touring for 1 year. Sold it last year.

Just scrapped my track car (Lachs Silver 325i) which used to be my daily driver. Had it for 8 years. The longest I've owned a car yet.
