          Why's that? It's amazing insurance. You get AAA Plus and they'll tow the car for up to 150-200 miles or somethin. It more than pays for itself after a few tows. Can help your friends out too! Also, lock yourself out of your car? No problem!

          It's worth it. For sure.


          And yes, 150 miles is nooothin.

            Do you have Triple-A? (AAA)

              I took my 1st E30 on a 200 mile round trip with just a quart of oil in the trunk, no tools, and a lot of beer and vodka. Didn't even think it could break down lol. Trip was AWESOME

                I just drove mine 190 miles up to Seattle on Tuesday in below freezing weather. It did excellent at about 80 - 85 mph with Blizzaks!

                  Nilsson you should get triple A. My parents have it and I just keep my dads old card on me. Kinda a nice thing to have as a backup.

                    my old e30 (318i w/ m42) made it from boston to miami twice and back and boston to LA and back without any problems aside from a tire go flat on me. added a half a quart of oil on one of the miami trips but other than that nothing....one of my buddies in college wouldnt come to spring break with me on the first trim to miami, much to his surprise it was parked outside my apt the day after....never doubt an e30
