Sold that to buy a basket case E30 M3 that is now almost done after almost 3 years

Haven't even driven the e30 m3 once or any e30 m3 for that matter lol

I'm new to the forum but I've been lurking for a while.

I sold my 2010 Mini Cooper S Convertible and picked up a 1987 325 2-door. I was tired of the payments and was looking for something that I could work on and make into a 'me' car. I couldn't justify buying parts for the Mini when I still owed the bank for it.



Here's the new (old) ride;



First order of business is a bumper tuck (this weekend if the weather cooperates).

Not sure if it counts, I had both at the same time. 2000 2.5RS Impreza. (also sold that miata in the background)

I regret it! Honestly I should have never given this car up. Slowest subaru I've owned, but the best handling.

99 cr-v 5spd. Owed it when i got my first e30 then ended up selling it once the winter was over..i see it every other day cause i sold it to my boy. Currently looking for another one though.

2001.5 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro. Bought this car w/ 4,000 miles back in 2002. Owned it until 2010 (180K miles later), and the iX replaced her.

Sold my 1990 300D with enough money to buy 2 plane tickets and fly to Illinois to buy my E30

I wanted a more nimble fun car. I was pretty set on getting a 190e but changed my mind to getting an E30 instead. Wish I could have both


....not really a downgrade though IMO

My '04 rx8 GT, it was a fun car (when it was running) but it ended up in the shop way too many times, 6 weeks after I sold it a friend found it on craigslist by the guy who bought it.

Lemon much?

I had a 1986 325es auto and sold it so i could by a 2000 ford focus w/ street tech R5 package(17 inch focal wheels,h&r springs,different front and rear bumpers,flowmaster muffler/bought it brand new) it was done through roll-a-long through local ford dealer. Got rid of it and got my 91 325i thats in my sig and never looked back.

Miss the throttle, but that's about it...

A super clean, unmolested, low mileage 2001 Honda Prelude SH.

I didn't give it up as much as it was taken from me, though. Rear ended at a red light by a hit-and-run drunk driver.

My E30 is a lot more fun to drive fast and handles much better, but it's also a bit slower and quite a bit more breaky.

2005 Chevy Malibu to a 1990 325i Sedan 5 Speed. No pictures needed to display how ugly and how much of a piece of shit the Malibu is. Don't have AC in the E30, but just ain't care!

1998 Bonneville. Solid ride but underneath definitely showed its Michigan origins. Took the money and bought my E30 the next day.

[oliver.r]
