    Daily drive my low mile '93 E30?

    Heres the skinny, for some reason I sold my pickup to a budy who needed a vehicle..(the $$ offer was good for a truck ive had 14 years)..now heres the issue....

    Up to that point I had been driving my E30 only a few days a week...it came to me with 47K original miles, and in just about mint condition so i didn't drive it too often....so now with no truck should I buy a beater car...or take the $$ and use it on the car and make it my DD??

      E30's are meant to be driven, but at that low get a DD for under $2K and call it a worthy expense.

      No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

        It's a tough call... why save something so mint unless you're in the position to be a collector. And if you're not interested in collecting it then why have something so mint.

        IT's almost too nice if you ask me... I'd sell it and buy a higher mileage one that I could have fun with.

        Unless you have cash to collect it AND still have money to buy a fun car.

              drive the thing.

              even after a few years if you end up w/ 80k miles and still maintain it, it will be minty.

                        That car is great. Needs new rims, IMO :)

                          Well if you do keep it for Sunday drives to the corner store (???) I would keep it totally stock, that's for sure. I agree with Markseven on the rims. Need to put some clean weaves on that puppy and be done.

                          edit: thanks for the pics -- just as clean as can be...
