    Good E30 ride in Central VA

    I own a 1993 325i 5speed and my wife has a 1999 e46 5speed. Both great cars but I have always loved the looks and size of the e30. However, every time I have driven an e30 I come away less than impressed. They always seem gutless and sloppy.
    I want to ride/drive one that is in good condition especially the suspension. Is there any one in the central Virginia region who could do me a favor and show me how good an e30 can be?

                If you lived here in NC, I'd show you a bone-stock E30.

                Today I powerslid it and giggled a little.
                Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
                Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
                Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
                Mark: "You never will."

                  make your way to the parkway along the Blue Ridge Mountains and make a day of it. You wont regret it.

                        watch the boards for the next e30 meet, theres a few us around richmond and we'll likely be getting together in the next month or so. im sure you could get a few ride alongs then, or bring your e36 to the Sept 2 autox at vmp.
