Be realistic: What IS a car that is a good replacement for a E30?

There isn't a good replacement, that's why we all own E30's.

FT86/BRZ is the only real option. Otherwise you're just back in another 80's-90's older car, and at that point you might as well be driving an e30

You couldn't pay me to own a Miata..

I'll sell you mine for $1500. Needs rear brake hard line repaired, lots of fad words could be used to describe how it looks though.

Only downside is rust, but its cosmetic. The car has been very reliable up until the brake line failed. It would sit for months, and when I needed it she always fired right up.

Road trip, road trip, road trip. I'll even help you fix the brake line.... If I don't fix it myself in the next few weeks.

Miatas are cheap man, for the price of a normal e30 you can get a super clean NA or NB

This dude at work is seriously considering paying 7 grand for my new e30.. I want to rebuild the m20b27 and head swap but have such limited space that I might take his offer and get a miata until I move out of the house. I'm trying to convince my friends to get them too because e30's are just a bit too $ for daily status for most of us in the BMW class. Would be epic to be 10 miatas deep

I know im the 100th person to say it but my buddies old miata was an absolute blast and they can be found for dirt cheap. They are also fairly reliable, great on gas, and bitches can hop right in the passenger seat with the top down.

to anyone reccomending fwd cars, really? Read the title.

I would own an Miata if I didn't instantly look like Donkey Kong in Mario Kart. :D

If it doesnt have to be exactly the same type of car id say a Lancia Delta Integrale is a good E30M3 Replacement.

[marshallnoise]

you know, a E34 540i6 would be pretty good. I recently drove a friends and had a blast. A replacement for the E30? not really, but a good addition? absolutely

All I know is that my friend's e30 M3 was a ball to ride in. But as soon as I threw my jalopy e34 540/6 around the same corner, I knew I was in a car that is a hooligan in a sport coat. Stupid fun.

Aw.....personally I am really sick of this thread and wish it would die off.

Just bought my first e30. The only thing I could compare it with just by very little margin would be my first car which was a 1992 Acura vigor GS I tried looking long and hard for them and no luck definitely a hard find in Canada anyway. But the drive is amazing. Handling is unreal. And they to come stock with 2.5l straight 6 motor. I know I know... Japanese vs a German can't really compare but definitely an amazing boxy amazing handling good gas mileage and extremely reliably.

Cheers!
