Drove mine on a 7 day roadtrip from Chicago back to Vancouver, BC and all I had to do was check the oil to make sure it wasn't low and fill up the gas tank.
I hope to do a coast to coast next year to check out Gutenfest 2011

Just did an 1100 mile trip a month ago. Only maintenance was inserting gasoline, and the temp gague never went past half way.Leave a comment:

I think we néed more info to make a judgment on your car, but I would be fine driving 1,000 miles in my car I would probably need a quart of oilLeave a comment:

i've driven my e30(s) on 2000+ mile road trips a total of 6 times now. My 325e, on 4 trips, had problems with the rad fan clipping one of the hoses. that caused some problems, but i got really lucky with being able to patch it up and limp it to the next stop.
my s52 e30 was literally perfect on both road trips i did with it, 2000+ miles each way. one of those trips, a friend of mine drove for 33 hours straight, shutting the car off only when getting gas.
i'm sure the other guys here will have more input on what you should take with you and what not, but i'd say that as long as your car is in good shape and is well maintained, it should be fine. if you're worried, you can have a shop do an inspection of various components to make sure a wheel isn't about to fall off.Leave a comment:

How far are you comfortable driving you car?
I'm new to the e30 world in the sense of owning one, and I'm seeking opinions and advice. Prior to my E30, I had a lifted nissan titan, so reliability was not an issue. How comfortable are you guys with driving your car 1,000+ miles on a road trip? I wanted to venture down from northern california, to san diego, and I'd like to know what kind of preventative measures I can take, or what I could expect. Thank you
