Out of all the e30s i've owned, I've never...

[squidrope]

I've never wanted another E series to replace my 30

...had a car with an m20. I've had an m10, m50nv, m50, m52, m42, and just bought another e30 w/a m10.

It's been a while but I lost 2 iS lips.

I agree. My last car was also an automatic originally and the M20 just doesn’t make enough bottom end torque to drive around below 3k rpm like the auto trans forces it to do. If you mat the throttle it’s fine, nice crisp shifts near redline but there is no middle ground.



An auto M30 car would probably be ok.

I used to drive my car in semi automatic mode when it had an auto trans [emoji1787]

i'd be genuinely surprised if there were a 3-digit number of e30 baurs *in* ostralya. mine was an '80s grey-market, like every one that ever came to US, and i've never seen another one in person.

There is one randomly parked in Berkeley, because of course there is. Also a street parked lach e30 m3

...owned any other besides the one you see below.

...replaced a piece of glass.

I've never lost an iS lip. The iS Lip on my current E30 (re-shell) survived this shit right below:



It may have cracked but it didn't break. Same iS lip on my car right now.

Ouch - that's a nasty accident. Nevermind the iS lip, good to hear that you're ok after a shunt like that!

[laidback93]

Ouch that was a nasty hit. Glad you made it out alive. That picture is like an automotive history for me. Just replace the Elantra with an Accent. I owned two CB7(4th gen) Accord coupes. The Accent was totaled (RIP) last year.

That was a fierce collision. Never had a cracked dash 2-0 so far. Just had a reverse light go out. So can check that off as "replaced." My drivers side door lock is going so I will get the joy of replacing that soon.
