    New episode of Top Gear (E30 content)

    Anyone else see it yet? Season 18 episode 7. They go rallycross racing and there a number of E30's in it. Probably one of the best episodes as of lately if you ask me too. Skip to section 5 if you just want to see the rallycross.

    Watched it last night, and I have to say it's one of the best episodes they have ever done IMO. And the white E30 sounds great.

      Really? I thought it was quite boring. Other than Kimi and the California, I didn't care for any of the features.

      Funny how opinions vary.

        It was a good episode no doubt, not THE BEST, but very good

        lol they forgot to factor the cost of entering races and gas, and when shit breaks though

          haha i enjoyed it, and even if the racing works out to be alot more its still better then golf.
          Did anyone see a couple episodes ago when they were talking about saab being done for good and they dropped an e30 upside down from 8 feet, made my neck hurt :S

            I really liked the rally cross bit because it wasn't so staged and scripted like the rest of the features they usually do. The California part was great, I cringed when some of those kids leaned on the car as they were running by

                      I am contemplating watching this episode right now, but I am also very tired (had to get my term paper this morning).
                      Is it worth watching, and sleep an hour less tonight?

                          Best ever is when they go to find the best convertible ever built and they all come back with e30's.

The victim later joined this forum under the name "5toes".
