    Maybe selling my car

    I've loved e30s since i first sat in one back in 2002. Many of you remember my first e30, a blue 4dr eta much like bmwbmxer's. I sold it last summer and went on the search for a 91 318is. Ended up with a red one last April, and it's been history ever since. At this point in time, i feel like i'm losing interest. Not in the e30, but in cars in general. Many of you know I use the e30 for daily purposes and the weekly canyon attack. With that in mind, i'm moving from the e30 to a 93 Previa LE. I know it's a large step, but like i said, i feel like i'm losing interest in cars and i couldn't tell you why. So help me decide, sell my car and just carry on with the van, or keep the car and somehow reignite my dwindling passion for automotive sports.

    Here's a picture from my latest photoshoot with my car.



    it's back on caps, the chevlons were way too big for my tastes.

    mod list includes:
    ie stg3 springs
    koni yellows
    ate slotted discs up front
    ate discs in the back
    mintex race pads up front
    jurid pads in the rear
    ate super blue brake fluid
    SAAB ski rack with bike and surfboard attachments
    Supersprint catback exhaust
    pioneer deh 415 cd headunit
    jdm window visors
    jdm mirror visors

    parts that would probably come with the car, just not installed:
    Rieger replica lip with splitter
    new fogs
    nardi torino 350mm steering wheel with matching hub for e30
    nardi torino shift knob
    momo tuner steering wheel
    oem rear bmw mudflaps

    and some other miscellaneous stuff, i know i'm missing stuff.

    so let's hear the arguments

    and no cliffs, read the entire thing bitches

    Just keep the E30 whether you are into cars or not. Just drive the damn thing. Why would you want a minivan?

      I say keep it. I think you'll regret getting rid of it down the road.

        theres really no reason not to keep it, great gas mileage, and its not a mini van. just to name a few.

            It reminds me of a guy named Nick. Nick sold his moderately modded e28 535i because he was "over it", and bought a much newer, much more practical honda. Nick sold his Honda in a little over 4 weeks and is on the search for his next 80s bimmer.

            Think long and hard. And realistically, it would probably be cheaper to keep your car and not deal with buying/selling.

                    keep the e30 and buy your van. WEEKEND CAR. the e30 cant get you to much if you sell it anyway. then you will realize your mistake and still have your car.

                            All I know is that when I was doing the profile gasket fix on my car, I wanted the thing gone. I hated the E30 and never wanted to see it again.

                            I stuck with it, and I can't believe I ever wanted to get rid of it. The E30 is too nice of a simple cheap car to get rid of. Like everyone says, I never intend on selling this car.

                            Keep it, but just keep it off your mind for a while. You're going to want it back. Quit doing those damn cayon runs every 5 minutes too.
                            The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                              yeah, sold the rims. didn't sell them here ccuz i knew i wouldn't get the money i wanted for them here.

                              and about hitting the canyons every 5 minutes, i can't help it, they beckon me. as one last hurrah, i hit them up last night, did a few runs and called it a night.

                              i've decided taht the e30 and i are going on a little break. i'm going to drive the van around for a week, and then see how i feel after that. then i'll make my decision whether to keep it or not
