the "why our e30's are awesome" thread

[///M42 sport]

That is, it exists in a car culture that is outside the realm of time. The e30 is my favorite car.

r u hi?

[illest318i]

I would have to say the way it looks
I never knew about e30's and I wasn't
Planning on buying one, but then I fell
In love with it the day I first saw it.

You know an E30 is awesome when an E36 owner "trades-up" to an E30.

i love the feel of my 3 spoke alpina steering wheel and the mz3 seats that i upgraded in my car. sometimes when i have no where to go, i just sit in the seat, make engine noises, and pretend to drive really really fast.

i love my hard top. i can't wait to strip the vinyl off and paint it alpinweis to match the car. i love how heavy and solid the doors feel when you open and close them. i love my euro smileys and the intensive wash system. when i come home from work, i love to just walk by the car as its sitting there in the garage and just stare at it for a minute or two on the way inside the house. i love the way the s52 sounds when you are just sitting there idling and you stab the throttle with your foot just a tiny bit.

excuse me, i need to go clean out the front of my shorts.

Because they're my favourite BMW.

Less rust prone than a 2002 or E9, cost way less to tune or maintain, and are more modern but not enough to tick you off.

They are so fun to throw around, and I look forward to driving mine every day.

Because I'm a hopeless romantic, the motorsport aspect gets me every time.

The people I've met through it, and continue to, are great.


And because I hate S13/4/5/6s.

[E30 Wagen]

I like the massive variety it has

early and late models
two door, four door, cabrio, touring, M3, bauer
range of virtually no options to fully loaded
m10's, m20's, m40's, s14's, and engine swaps
AWD iX drivetrain models
Mtech packages, and other styling choices from BMW
awesome tuned versions by Alpina, ACS, Hartge, RD, etc.
other quality aftermarket styling including suspension, wheels, bolt-ons

Plus the fact that it's a car that has a presence all over the world is pretty awesome.

e30= Love

& all you need is love!

[nickflic3]

Because it grabs my attention and leaches on to it whenever I look out the window. Studying for finals week turns in to studying the lines of the old sled

[Ayman]

it'll never cheat on you. at least mine won't.

[CHIF8008]

r u hi?

Are you hello?

The e30 is awesome because:

(A. it's old enough for cheap insurance

(B. They're made like a Lego vehicle where you can change it to suite your style/needs. Be that classic, JDM knock off, ricer, etc, there's shit out there to alter it.

(C. They are lightweight, fun to throw around and always puts a smile on my face.
