Owning a modded E30 at 43...

[ddavidv]

Err, well, no.
I started a web page about it. I've done construction follow-along pages on my site for my other cars but I sort of flew through a lot of the construction without taking pictures, so it won't be a 'build' site like my others. You can see the hideous 'before' photo here: http://www.mongrelmotorsports.homest...m/SpecE30.html
Looks mostly the same now, except the front end is all together, the wheels are black, and it's much, much lower. :D I still haven't decided what color(s) I want it to be, and I'm waiting for the cage builder to get some free time to weld that together. Add the seat and harness and a window net, and I'm there.
Oh, here's the link to the rest of the site for anyone interested in the non-BMW stuff, since I forgot to add a link to the page.

Im turning 26 next Friday and I hope/know Ill be the square older guy with the 2 POS old BMWs. I love them I dont give a fuck who knows it.

26 here also, and don't give a fuck. I love my car, I love E30's, and I'll keep driving them and throwing money at them until I just plain don't feel like it anymore.

But within the next 5 or so years, I fully intend to own an E46 M3.

now that isnt a bad idea, good luck with that.

Within the next 5-7 years, they'll become quite affordable. With the new E92 M3 set to debut very soon, they'll drop in price just like the E36 M3 did when the E46 came out. Everyone will be trading in their E46's for the E92, and the dealerships will get flooded with them. They'll sell them cheaply just to get rid of them, and as owners continue to privately sell them, the price will drop.

I wonder if at this point my apeal will drop down to what i think of the e36 m3 and at what rate? Maby i will always love them even if all the high school kids are driving them because they turned 16, like the e36 m3 now.

i would kill for an e30 m3.

Just in case it hasnt been said, "Should have raped her."

[CCCXXV]

Wait a second here, you are mad because a girl was looking at you???:giggle:

He's an old man, and unused to the attention. Remember, people respond to the unknown and uncomfortable with fear.

:p

I'm sorry dude, but the way you drive? I think an E30 M3 would kill YOU.

Either that, or we'd kill you for having an E30 M3.

Shit, there's probably guys here that would just kill you for an E30 M3. :D

after seeing older/high mileage e46's at the dealer all day long, I don't think e46 m3s will be quite the "bargain" you think they will be

I never said they would be a bargain, re-read my post and try again.

I said that they would drop in price and become steadily more affordable as the new M3 becomes more popular. I'm not expecting them to get down to $12k.

[Lair]

I've seen them for $25K already.

I don't know what it is, but no one has ever looked at me in my car. Maybe I'm always on the move too fast? I don't stick in one spot long. lol

It's funny cause we sold our 87 325 to my brothers friend, and in ONE day he had like 3 people tell him he had a nice car out on the road. I've been driving my car for well over a year, and I think I've only had a couple people tell me I had a nice car - and they were three little kids in the middle of Wyoming! (when I was driving to school)

I wish I had an alarm, and automatically rolling up windows. :-\

she wanted ya

Yeah, well, I would more likely want her Mom.

She was pretty damn hot, though.
