    After almost 8 years of E30 ownership...

    I just found out that E30 side mirrors fold in. I seriously had no idea.

    I was working on my pickup, and when I was done, I brought the E30 back in the garage and was putting the cover back over it, and I smacked my hip into the side mirror as I went by, and it folded in. I was astonished. So now my car cover doesn't stick out all retarded on the sides.

    I are happy cat.

          Awesome, Aren't you glad you got out of bed today. My '05 Tiburon I had, had an option for power folding mirrors, they come standard on certain trim levels in Korea.

            FUCK YOU BEEATCH!

            I remember one time like 6 years ago, when I took my first E30 to Les Schwab, watching the guy trying to figure out how to put my car into reverse, sitting in the waiting room cracking up laughing.

                  It's always funny watching people freak when I pop the hood and it springs forward a bit.

                      I understand you're an Admin/Site Owner, by posting this did you go and dust off the old flame suit?

                        Yup, found that one out by backing the E30 out of a garage. Scared the shit out of myself.

                          No, I just didn't give a fuck. I'd never had any reason to fold them in, so I never tried it, and I just knever new.

                          And I LOVE watching the look on people's faces when I pop my hood. The reverse-opening hood is one of my favorite E30 features. When I was a kid, I always thought that little European cars with reverse-opening hoods where cool as shit.

                            My dad has a 1977 Corvette, it's one of the many reasons I love that car.
