    What car did you give-up for the E30? Post pics

    If I'm not mistaken I believe there's a small percentage of owners here who gave up a newer/better/faster car for their E30.

    Here's mine, 99' 540/6 Dinan stage 3 with 57K miles:


    I gave her up because I was seeking something with a nimbler step for canyon duties as well as driving feedback equivalent to BMW's slogan of "The Ultimate Driving Machine" without breaking the bank.

    Anyone else?

        1996 s10 Blazer, my dad bought it new, 258k original drivetrain. Hit two deer side by side. Replaced all of the body panels with color matching junk yard parts for around $400 total but it was never the same. Now its retired as a deer and firewood hauler. edit: lol I guess this would qualify as more of an upgrade to an e30 oh well Blazers are BA

              The thread is "what car DID you give up for the e30"


              NOT "what car WOULD you give up the e30 for"

                Well thanks for being nice about it, I guess the arrogant Ferrari driver stereotype holds true

                        I sold my e46 m3. Glad I am not the only one who "downgraded"

                          I sold my e30 to get an e36 m3.

                          It was a downgrade.
