    Awesome, this is what I wanted to hear. My E is very well maintained, so that's not an issue. I drove it 400mi last weekend and it rode perfect, but I've got a 3.73 rear end, so I'm doing 3k at 70mph. Fml

    How many times did your odometer roll around?


    I don't take my E30 on too many long trips, not comfy enough, thats what the E34 is for. But the previous owner took it on a few trips from San Diego to Phoenix.

    600m trips easy. But then again cruising at highway speeds does stress a car that much.

    Damn right Skippy.....

    I have driven a e30 from Dallas to LA. Twice.

    And love it baby!!!!!

    Ive done the same trip in a Porsche 911, F-150, Land Rover, Cadillac CTS and flown dozens of times.

    Best fun I had was in the e30.

    LA to SD....easy..... if you take care of your car.

    E30's when maintained are highway kings that sip gas and eat pavement, at least mine was anyway, with 2.93 rear and 2.7i*

    Gone to San Diego 3 times, gone to Vegas once and numerous trips over 200 miles. I really have never had a hiccup with my car on long trips.

    I love my e30, always reliable!

    I drove mine about 500 miles 3 days after I bought it. I had a spare tire, no jack, fresh oil change, and an extra quart of oil. After that I went on multiple long distance trips, including a 1200 mile trip to Ohio and back..

    err I bought my car with no history on the car, 300,000 plus miles, leaky hg, slight overheating problem at stoplightsfrom Tennessee to Tampa, FL. And then multiple 300+ mile runs until I decided Its not worth snapping the Timing belt or blowing the gasket. I also had it up to 135-140mph (speedo indicated) with no hesitation for a good five minutes. it really depends on if it's a complete shit heap or not.

    anywhere....these cars are tough as nails.
    Pre trip maintenance is essential.

    Drove it 1600 miles this summer to the E30 Picnic without a single issue. I'll take it anywhere.
