In 3 e30's that Ive owned, only one has had a problem with a heater core valve. My current version only has 80k anyways, I plan on having her for a long time.

What heeps me going? The fact that I've created something that I wanted, that was not offered in this country.
I don't like going out and just buying a fast car, I'd much rather create a car for me... My E30 is a proof of that.
With the amount of time, effort, and money I've put into my car, I could be driving an E39 M5, and to be honest, i'm happy i'm not.

seriously? because I'd trade my E30 for an M5 in a heartbeat :DOriginally posted by James Crivellone
not that I wouldn't miss her.. hell, it's been 4 days since I've driven it, and it's already driving me nuts! :(Comment

Many would trade across for an M5...I mean its one HELL of a car, and put one hell of a smile on my face when I opened it up on the freeway.Originally posted by nando
However for me, I cannot really enjoy something unless i've made it mine. Its pretty hard to explain to be honest, but I would not get any real enjoyment out of a turn key nice car.
Plus when the S38 goes in I think I will have a larger smile then when I drove the M5 =)Comment

what keeps me going is working on the car. when i have nothing else to do to this car i dont know what the hell im gona do, whenever im bored i go out to the garage and screw around with it, granted theres usually nothing wrong with it i just go outside and do some "mod" that ive heard about that i can do without buying parts, or clean it or something. all in all i just like playin around with my car.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I agree on making a car your own and not just a run of the mill BMW, but you can always do the same with an m5 as well....Back to my roots

Anyone can buy a car or pay someone to build a car.
It makes it that much better when you do the work yourself, and you appreciate the car so much more.Comment

I love the E30 and will stick with it until I have pratically fixed/repaired/replaced it to like new. Will this take time, money, patience, stress, frustrations, blood, sweat, tears, an arm and a leg? Most likely but then again so will life. The E30 is a part of our lifestyle and that is what basically and essentially, I believe, keeps all of us going.Originally posted by sticksdaman
That and with every fix you can only get closer to a badass reconditioned like new E30. I'll be rolling a clean ass E30 in 2010, just the thought of it is the sh**!
