    I think I've lost the E30 spirit...

    I plan on selling my car at the end of the year.

    I've got a two-year mission for my church that would render my car useless for at least 24 months. I can either pay someone to store it or let my sisters drive it...yeah right. So I'm going to sell it and put the money away until I get back and then I'll buy another car. I doubt it'll be an E30. I'm thinking something along the lines of an 2002 Acura RL (FWD, 250 hp, 4 door, etc) or I might think about a 5-series. So now I'm just trying to treat my car like a car and less like a companion. Just wanted to let everyone know. My emotions are mixed about the whole decision - I'm very attached to the car, but it hurts to be slowly pulling away from it.

              lol

              I've bee throwing that around here a lot more lately and nobody else really says anything! E30s are cool in their own right, especially E30s with M30s stuffed in them...

                        It's like graduating from high school and moving on to college! lol

                        The US never got E38 735i's, did we? Are you thinking of E32s? I've toyed with the idea of an E32 735i 5 speed Turbo... That would be cool as hell!
