I've been thinking a lot recently about getting rid of my car payment and getting rid of my VW MK6 GTI. My thought is to find an E30 to replace it as my daily driver. I want some opinions from E30 owners whether this would be a good or bad idea?

2nd on the nicest you can get. Most E30's that aren't enthusiast owned (and some that are) will need a ton of suspension, and possibly drivetrain, maintenance to get them back up to a respectable standard. That is part of the fun though :)Comment

Do it! I came from a 2004 audi a4 to my 86 325es and I love it. coming from drive-by-wire the more raw mechanical personality of the throttle and transmission make every drive a little more fun even if it is slower lol well that and going to RWD. I had borrowed my friends mkv gti a few weeks ago for a weekend when he borrowed my truck and I ended up driving my e30 after a daysigpicComment

your main negative is gas mileage...
most things are better about a bmw though.
VWs have that latin american made oem parts channel for some parts too. Couple things are good for vws but 90% of anything is better about bmws.
So count on more gas, more for some parts and more reliable faster and handles better.Last edited by stamar; 04-01-2012, 02:44 AM.
