In my defense, it's an i swap, and it being a four door makes it much cooler than the two door cars that make up 90% of this site.

It's no rice killer, but it works for me.

Congradulations on your swap. Your car still probably makes less than 200hp. Now that we've got that out of the way...How are four doors better than two? There are very few 4 door cars that I consider sporting...I like the 4-door m3 and m5, and I like the new pontiac G8 and the Cadillac CTS-V....but srsly....when it comes to e30s, and most cars for that matter 2doors > 4.

You are an idiot. You proved it once by posting the Z32/E30 "kill story" and you continue to prove it. I have heard from many that the E30 sedan chassis is significantly stiffer than the E30 coupe chassis. Combine that with the functionality of a four-door, and it makes for a capable and practical choice. Thank you for your congratulations.

Correction. I'm an asshole. I'm NOT an idiot. And how does the story of my $6k z32 beating a ~$30k fully-custom turbocharged e30 from a 30 roll make me an "idiot". Functionality? The back seat of a 4-dr e30 is a joke. I know because I've sat in one. These acclaimed "many" from whom you have heard that the 4dr is stiffer than the 2dr.....are any of them mechanical engineers? Do yourself a favor and go fill out one of these, it'll make you feel better
