Did you regret selling your e30?

[dnguyen1963]

^ Ohhhh...I'll have recurring nightmares if I had sold a car this good looking.

[mrmckie]

hell yeah..only the first one though, Delphin 86 325es, a minty one owner car. The rest i don't care for as much...lol

i especially regret it because e30 prices are rifuckingdiculous right now so getting back into an e30 is tough now

[mr2peak]

Yes.

Terribly.

You got a pretty damn good price for it though

E30 #2 yes. The car had a broken odo at 385k and a carfax revealed it had been broken for 9 years but she still ran like a beauty and was extremely clean minus some paint fade and a little rust around one of the tailights. I sold it to a friend who let another friend of his drive it to the dmv to transfer the title and he ended up hooning it through a fence and rolling it. It was sad that a car that was such a trooper died in such a shitty way

Yep, good for the time, but I didn't do anything of interest with the money:(.

[phreshkid]

Sometimes, but mostly no.

I wouldn't be the man I am today if I didn't sell my e30s.

I'm R3v's greatest success story. PM me for details.

BINGO!! #1 reason why I didn't sell mine.

At one time, I had 3 E30s on my driveway. It was nice having my own E30 meet and all but really, cleaning 3 sets of weaves got crazy.


Sold the MT2 as it was meant only to flip with no regrets but I do miss it. With the money made, I sorted the coupe and did an engine swap and bought another car to flip.
The E36 was nice but again, no regrets and I still maintained an E30.


When I was down to 2 E30s, this was a hard decision. All my blood, sweat, and tears were in my coupe and the cabrio was just was so well sorted.


In the end, the cabrio won out and the coupe sold. It didn't hurt as much as I thought but im sure it help that I had another E30 to get my fix. No regrets but out of all the cars I have owned, I miss the coupe the most. The only real bummer is that I couldn't keep all my BMWs...even the e36.

Sold my 89 coupe to my brother but got a 91 coupe S/C S50 . So no regrets and my brother now swapped a 2jz in the 89. So pluses all around .

[325isdan]

Sorry. only regret was not realizing the 91 didn't come with pop out windows. that's the only thing I miss.

If you wanted a Vert, why didn't you keep the MTech?

This old car helps to "ground" me in ways nothing else in my life can. some use kids, job or family, I like the simplistic means of a car.

Have you read Memoirs of a hack mechanic? Rob Siegel writes for the BMWCCA magazine and describes those same feelings- its a good read!

It was a tough choice between the MT2 and my Glacier but I just liked the Glacier just a tad bit more and was in better condition.
