    That because all the 6-banger E30s are utter garbage. 2 valves per pot, dreaded timing belt, damn valves need adjusting, they can't rev for shit. I ought to know.....I've had three of them :-P

                                Pun intended. We've gone on about this one before tj, Don't get me started.

                                "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                                    similar article here, also full of some bullshit and misinformation, but eh, i find em interseting to read:

                                    http://www.drive.com.au/editorial/article.aspx?id=11139&vf=7&bg=38&pp=3


                                    i think another consideration is that lots of people over here are fuel conscious. maybe thats why more mention of 4 bangers in the previous article.

                                        I feel like these articles are written for a 40 year old thinking about picking up a classic old car, not an e30 enthusiast.

                                            yeah, i think they kinda are.

                                            at least he got something right though:

                                            So, the Eta engine was born, with a redline of about 4500 rpm and no entertainment value.

                                                            What is your point? This article does not even mention America. There are more e30s in America than in Australia; supply and demand.
