E30 Market

Great geometry, well built, good quality, details such as a third seat belt at the rear seat, clips that hold the spark plug wires, retainers that prevent your floor mats from sliding, they have all the gages you need, the steering is great, suspension even better (stock, and remeber i live in Chile), Safest hood mechanism i have ever seen, thick sheetmetal for a small car, and on and on and on...

I just Love it!!!!, and I bought it because it was low price, what a great surprise.... It feels like a gift from the gods.

And if you ask me, I'm not selling, ever, Till death do us apart. :)

I just love the look, the style, the engine, the cost/satisfaction ratio, cheap insurance, reasonable to buy, decent enough aftermarket and it isn't a overdone Jap car..

I took a look at the wiring diagrams and fell in love. They just don't wire cars the same anymore. No modules is a good thing. Also it looks like BMW spent some money on the wires and harness preparation. I shudder to cut into the stock harness and find ways around it at all cost. Also its the smallest car that has decent size rear seats. I don't know how they did it in a 2 door. Oh and the WHOLE car is nice. Japanese cars have great engine but the window motors go bad. The switches break. All those little things. My car has over 200k and every little thing works perfect.

For the size of the car the rear seat is much smaller than I would expect. My foxbody had a bigger rear seat in the same size car, my friends AE86 is a significantly smaller car that has a bigger rear seat. That dosent really matter to me though, the only time im in the backseat of my own car is when im cleaning it, ive only ridden in it a few times with someone other than myself driving.

i want one. but now is not good timing. i tried to find one about a year and a half ago. with no luck. i want a plastic bumper 325i or IS. really doesnt matter as long as its a stick and in GREAT condition. finding one around me is much much easier said than done. my first car was a red ETA. that was the start i suppose. the look is timeless, i absolutely never tire of it. the thought of owning one again is always in the back of my mind, and it always shows back up every few months. i was 14 when i got it. i bought it from my next door neighbor for $1600. haha, i think that was back in 98 or 99. anyhow, i have noticed the older it gets, the more popular and well know it is. almost all enthusiests know about the E30 now days. say 5 years ago, most people didnt know what it was if you said 'E30'. and when they saw one, they just associate it with an ugly 80's european car. i know im rambling on here. but theres just something about them. i like to look at them. i remember sitting at the computer for days, finding every picture i possible could about them. maybe later this summer i can continue the search.

Funny story... I didn't really care much for BMW's but the older ones like the e30's were always my fav's if I had to pick one. About four days ago I bought some rims off a guy with a super clean 325i, and four days ago I feel in love with e30's. Now on the forth day I have a clean red 90 325is in my possession, just put it in my name and spent $2500. I have a feeling I am gonna be a bmw guy for life now. A good buddy of mine has a 600+ hp turbo m5 that started it all. The sky is the limits for my e30 now. I am so happy that I got a clean straight one before they are all taken.

My plans for the future are all over the board. I'm just a car lover and I finally found a car that satisfies everything I ever wanted in one.

E30's OWN!!!!
