How far would you travel for the right e30?

[ZJP]

Picked up my E30 less than 5 miles away. :D

[Hartge_H27]

I have picked up cars in both provdense Rhode Island and in easton PA. I drove both back to birmingham. As for just long trips in a e30. i drove on to las vegas and back. well most of the way back.

Gosh I was a fool I did one state to another, and ended up not buying it. Car had some work that needed to be done.

I know how that feels. i drove to savannah and didnt get the car. it sucked.

Good memories!

I bought mine in Virginia. The car used to be in Ft Lauderdale so I brought it back home.

I flew up from Orlando with the idea of driving home. Problem oil leak kept me from doing it. So I booked a ride home on auto-train. The train was empty so I had the 2 huge seats to myself. Went to the bar car and got some cognac. Had a great buzz going.

Ready for the "I don't believe part of the story cause it sounds like a Forum article" I still feel like I won the lottery.

This woman gets on in Va. Very attractive. She changes into her tight pajamas and settles in with her lap top. I look over and notice these great pics of nice automobiles. So I ask about them. She tells me her profession started off by being a car model. Now she has her own agency.

So cognac and talk and cars and bodda bing, I get lucky. Yes, life is good. I leave Florida with no e30 and come home with one and a huge smile, a car and no hangover!

So gentlemen, how far would I travel for the right BMW? To infinity and beyond!

found mine on the other side of the country and after extensive communication had it transported via flatbed, ferry, and train over 3,600kms

I wanted to drive it back and make a trip out of it but time constraints were an issue.

1) 1989 325i purchased in Scottsdale, AZ while on vacation = 1706 miles one way
3) 1987 325is purchased in Milwaukee, WI = 334 miles one way
4) 1985 323i purchased in La Crescenta, CA = 1930 miles one way
5) 1987 325 purchased in Carpinteria, CA = 2007 miles one way

at the end of last semester my friend drove from VA to Pheniox AZ to pick up a legit right-hand-drive Integra Type R. He brought the motor and drivetrain down in pieces in the back of his GSR, assembled it all there in 4 days, and drove it home the following week. THAT, is dedication

[OOMPH!]

I voted anywhere. I travelled down to VA twice for my M3. Once to check it out and drive it and then the second time I came back with a trailor to bring her home :D

[thundering02]

I've traveled approx 1000 miles for cars before.

[Jose Luis]

I have heard about a guy that drove his E30, from somewhere in the US all the way down to Costa Rica

[Turf1600]

I'd say, anyone voting 1000 or greater has not driven so much as 500 miles to pick up a car.
An e30, no. A REAL investment like a porsche or ferrarri, thats a different story

I drove mine from chicago to houston. 19 hours.
