    well one of my e30's was bought'n out right which is the euro because its soul purpose was a project. However not being able to drive my euro spec killed me so I sold my e36 for a loss and put cash on top to by my 325i. Yeea the value of e36's sucks now.

      This is what I had for a while before I saw the light. it was cheap and suitably rubbish to not really give a damn about, though the 1.3 litre carbureted engine was an almost constant source of problems, it never let me completely down, like the subsequent M40B16.


      This is a car I once had by Thujalvi, on Flickr

      Really only thing worse than the rust, and the Pierburg carburetor was the culture surrounding these cars.

        Waaaay back in 2006 I sold my '00 540iT Sport and picked up a '87 325is.

        Interestingly, the guy that sold me the E30, did so to by a E39. The guy that bought my E39 sold his E30 to buy mine...

          An e21 that I sank a lot of money into. Unfortunately on a drive in the twisties, someone coming the other way decided to do an illegal U-Turn on a blind bend, and that was the end of that.

            I miss that bike more than any other bike or car I've ever owned... and I've been through about twenty total.

              I gave up a hypothetical car that might have ran better, got better gas mileage, been more comfortable, been more reliable, etc.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  I rode a huffy, but when I saw gas prices drop I decided to go for an e30, I'll never go back.
                  I spend 90% of my money and women, cars, and booze. The other 10% is wasted.

                    Sold this for money


                    Bought this for way less money, then wrecked it and made money somehow


                    Then bought this for a little less than what I sold the truck for

                      My 1994 Euro M3 was taken from me. Decided it's heart should live on in my current E30:

                        2000 Jetta VR6. It was fully loaded and pretty damn quick, but never put a smile on my face quite like my E30 does.

                          Never had to sell a car. My E30 is my first car and I absolutely love it. I learned how to work on it and drive stick on it. BTW this is sad but I'm the only one out of 750 kids in my grade who knows how to drive stick. :sad:
