    Glad your brother is OK!

    Saddens me to see a totaled IS. I know we like to rag on Bronzit around here, but there's something so correct about that color on a 1980's car.
    101

    The E30 collection:
    1987 325es M52 - Schwarz / Taurus Red Sport (son #2's)
    1987 325is - Delphin / Black Sport (son #3's)
    1987 325i Convertible - Triple Black
    1989 325iX Coupe - Diamondschwarz / Black Comfort
    1990 325iX Coupe - Sterling Silver / Grey Sport

    1981 Fiat 124 Spider 2000 - Green / Tan
    1998 Volvo V70 GLT - White / Tan
    1998 Volvo S70 T5 manual - White / Taupe
    2001 Ford Windstar - Silver / Grey (parts hauler)
    2006 Lexus GX470 - White / Tan (tow rig)

      I haven't seen anyone use the in quite a while, so I suspect bronzit hate is dead.

          Reminds me of when my buddy Nick lost his low owner, low mileage, beautiful bronzit 325is years ago.

          Glad that your brother is ok, albeit a bit sore. Onto the next E30!

                    Was this a lift/brake, swerve, spin, crash? Seems a lot of E30s die that way.

                        Since i sold my not so nice e30 last year in March.I had to put my nice e30 back into DD use. I have had this BAD feeling about using it every day that something is going to happen. I don't want to jinx myself. Glad you guys are ok.

                          Even if he's just "sore" right now, he should probably still go get checked out.

                          Bummer to see it happen, that was some pretty intense weather. Most of the drivers around here cannot handle it.

                            Glad your bro is OK and sucks to see another E30 bite it. Even if it is bronzit. ;) Honestly, I don't get the hate on for that colour. That baby puke colour I've seen on some newer BMWs is the real travesty.
