E30s are Overrated!

[Lof8]

The E30 is not 28-day aged prime Porterhouse with tight, even marbling, minimally seasoned, kissed by the flame of a well-seasoned gas broiler for the shortest of durations, and served at a great restaurant surrounded by the best of company and the best of drink. No, the E30 is like a palm-sized flank steak you cook yourself, with no sides because you're too cheap to buy New potatoes (too expensive per unit weight) or haricots verts (same). To drink, tap water, Brita-filtered if you're lucky. You've captured the essence of the cow, but nothing else.

You can't expect everyone to enjoy or understand that.

I wanted to sig this whole thing, but it won't all fit. Very true.

Wow. I always though "overrated" (when describing an object at least) translates to "not worth the money you put in".

That said, it's hard to imagine E30s are overrated. In terms of price to quality ratio they turn out rather well...

i don't think i've ever heard "unimpressed" and "subpar" so many times in a thread before...

I bought an E32 along with my E30s, Ive never appreciated the E30 more.

The most overrated BMW should be the any of the E36s or the 335i.

any US spec bmw is over rated. Except the e30!!

[Need4Speed1299]

In to bash e36s... haha.

^^ FFFFUUUUUU lol

I think to be overrated, you need to have a fan base so into their respective cars that they are not only in complete denial regarding the faults, but think they are king shit. I don't think my e36 M is overrated because I know what to expect from a 3000lb 240hp car.. Apparently these people were expecting to shit their pants at the sheer acceleration...?

^oh so now you a pro on e36's. A couple minutes ago you were asking if a m50 swap is worth it, lol.

I think you have me confused with someone else

Good choice, rumor has it they're way overrated.

Figured this would be the right place to post this:



Had some extra time today, and remembered this quote and a good picture to go with it. Would make an awesome shirt/sticker/whatever. Realized it's not a flank steak, but maybe the quote could be adjusted to just, steak.

Good post. Saved.

Bimmerforums is full of a bunch of self centered purist bitches. what you expect

bimmerforums just seems to mostly be E36 dudes in a riced out 325i, pretending it's an M3. especially in the PNW section.
