    I don't think even E21's are vintage. Just old and beat to hell. Vintage means people look at your un-restored car and say, "cool, check out the old BMW!" E30's are like, "Eeeew, can't you afford anything better?"
    "If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."

    Do I LOOK like I need a psychological evaluation???

        those of us born in the mid 80's + already consider these cars vintage, square, on the ugly side, and using archaic electronics. If you don't think the car is vintage is because you yourself are outdated and we typically read about people like you in history books.. and stuff.. that is, ofcourse, if you've done anything important.

        ...one day someone will say the same thing about me... but in a very long time.
        No more e30s for me.

          85's and before are. As far as bmw is concerned we are on the list on real oem, and at V@V, so yes, but no.

                  My car is eligible for WI collector and WI hobbyist tags. I chose to DD it year round, and you don't get to drive those tags in January, so I stick with the regular plates. If we do go with collector tags, it'd be our 3rd car with them. 2nd with hobbyist tags.

                  In case you're wondering, Hobbyist tags allow you to have fun under the hood.

                      yes. I tell my friends I have a vintage restored car and it makes me feel better about the thousands I have put into it.

                        'allow', lol. You could put a jet engine under the hood of an e30, and the State of Wisconsin would be clueless. No emissions, no visual check, low hassle by PD, etc. I love WI!

                          I say that:
                          e36's are old
                          e30's are old school
                          e21 csl is a classic
                          and bmw 507 is VINTAGE
                          In other words e30's have a while to go...

                                Only convertible e30s are "Vintage". All the others are not.
                                And that's my final answer.
