I'm about to drive my wife's E30 off a cliff...

[Jand3rson]

My family has been through 6 e-30s, and we have learned that a cars 'problems' have more to do with where it is located and how it is driven and maintained than how 'good' a car it is. All parts wear and tear on any car, you cant deny that, and those three before mentioned things just contribute to how fast they wear out.

E-30s can be great cars or total shit boxes depending on who is driving them, just look at the examples of them on this board. The same applies to any and all cars despite who makes them.

True that. The guy and his girlfriend who owned it before me didn't take care of it, and as for my wife, it's not that she doesn't care about it, she's just not a car nut, so she just drives it. Not that it's a fault, she just doesn't take the concern with it that we take with some of ours.

Same goes for me, but it wasn't some random guy, it was my cousin driving it on the salty Pittsburgh roads... I don't think I'll ever forgive him for how he treated the e30.

Get and Odyssey, those are fast as hell. Beats the shit out of my buddies mk4 2.0 haha.

E34 for the win. Touring if you really need some space. Just think about it...

I have seen plent of Vtech mobiles, that the V TECH doesnt work, or the owners claim that as why the cars are slow. You dont feel BMW retains their value??? there are alot of people on this board that have paid in the upwardss of 3000-4000 dollars for an old E30. I have these things offered to me for free here everyday. Honda inventing Vtech, has nothing to do with the car as a whole anyway. people can argue everyday on which cars are better, me-- never a japanese cars! my feelings-- buy american, the economy is already going to crap in the states. and I have had nothing but good times with OLD and new BMWs for the last 12 years here in germany. not trying to argue just giving my comments where it was posted by soeone asking for comments.
why arent you "racing" a civic, if they are so reliable and the inventors of V-Tech??-- I dont mean that in a smartass way either, just asking.
a daily driver should be a fun and exciting car to drive too i feel.
I live here in germany, to help the U.S. military- I am a pretty patriotic person and want to see the U.S. grow, not die from all the "cheaper" communist countries taking over trade in the U.S.!!!

[rwh11385]

buy american.....because American car companies don't feel very much R&D is worth it?? they'd rather skimp on that and just cut prices to sell cars...? yes, this makes a good car


and fyi, japan is not communist. you're very very very ignorant


it is a shame someone as moronic as you is representing our nation in a foreign land. i have no respect for someone as stupid as you mikeedler. you're simply a disgrace

and this isn't just a flame. this is the honest truth man. you're a fucking joke and a tool, and i feel ashamed to have you represent america. you do us a dishonor to be so ignorant

[marakka]

He's just a bad typer heeter..... I swear he's much smarter in person.

[rwh11385]

how do you mistype japan is a communist country, or all of the other ignorant beliefs?

i mean, he swears he is not racist, but the majority of his posts are overwhelmed in naive ignorance of the asian culture and grouping them into one people, without any concern to be educated when he opens his mouth. the same type of people are the ones in the world continuing prejudice. and it is one of the things that makes me sick. mikeedler is a disgusting racist

yes, i have respect for people serving our country, but that is no right to be an ignorant jackass disgracing America in a foreign land

*LMMFAO* Yer a funny one bobbo. Ummm.... he married a German for christs sake. He does like hydro's and bags though.... maybe we should just lynch him for that and leave the racism out of it.... I thought all Japs were communists? Thats what they teach us in the Army.

As far as I'm concerned Mike is doing us proud over there (here). Its when I come back and see 400lb fat mofo's eatin buckets of KFC like its goin out of style, or bein called a "waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles" by a white guy wearin camo pants on a crotch rocket who cuts me off in a parking lot.... thats what the disgrace is. But we live in it everyday so its acceptable. Ugh.... Makes me glad I re-enlisted to stay in Germany for a while longer. Maybe shit will change.

[rwh11385]

why does that white guy on the bike use such disgusting language? ignorance.

give your friend a nudge and let him know japan is not the reason america is going down. they make quality products and toyota now actually has like 70 or 80% of production of cars old here in the US i think, or something like that. They aren't taking jobs away from America. (you can blame our big three for screwing up if anything. . . . or all the benefits they have to pay to employees because of UAW) Japan and Germans are the innovators. just like the Vtec think, he is just talking out of his ass, and that is not attractive or good

The new constitution was promulgated on November 3, 1946 and went into effect on May 3, 1947. It replaced the old Meiji constitution from 1889. The major changes were:

* The emperor loses all effective governmental power, and his functions becomes purely symbolic.

* Sovereign power lies with the people.

* The complete division of the three powers legislature, executive and judiciary



i also believe they had universal suffrage in their country before we even did. (think south in the 60s)







yup, japan is about as communist as England. . . .

[marakka]

I think you know so much about Japan cause you wanna marry an albino blonde oriental...

Note to Keedler - the e46s were ALL made in the Fatherland.

Not true-BMW has a plant in South Africa that built E46 325i's. Many of those were sold in the US, and from what I heard quality was the same as the German built cars. This plant is now building E90's, and some of them are headed to the US.

Dave, it is unfortunate that you had bad experiences with the E46. I am on my third E46 and I have been very happy with all of them. In fact, so far the past two I have owned have been the most reliable and trouble free of any car I have owned-both of them have had absolutely zero issues.

My first E46 was a relatively early production coupe. There were a couple of small electrical issues, but they were quickly fixed. I occasionally talk to the person to who I sold the car and she says it gives her no problems at all.

[rwh11385]

if that were true, i'd just save my money and marry MR instead of some gold-digging chick


but the uninformed posts of mike seriously offend me, and would seriously offend the people he is talking about yet knows nothing of
and when you are part of an organization like he is, he must recognize that he not only represents himself, but his peers and his nation, so he must ever conduct himself so as to bring respect and honor not to himself alone, but also to greater body he represents

[marakka]

Ummm..... heeter.... Ummm.... he's a German resident... not in the Army. He's contracted by us. Former Army guy though.... just stayed after his time in the service with his wife.
