How much has your e30 cost you?

[fronton]

Pretty rough but not far off, not counting any maintenance obviously.

car - 3000
nogaro euroweaves - 800
bbs rs - 3500


~ $26200 as of yesterday haha

$4,300 in rims on a $3,000 car?

[mbonanni]

The car was 3k initially. Then he proceded with 6k in bodywork....then with all his other parts.

[cormier]

I haven't totalled... And don't want to. Upwards of 15k, probably over 20k by the time my projects on the road

[illest318i]

The car was $1300

I spent about $140 on it... For now as that's about to change
real soon! ;D
