    My daily e30 2nd owner Toronto car!

    Well, she was a bit rough when I got it last Apr. 2nd paint job and I'm 2nd owner. it's my daily driver for now; past winter wasn't too too bad.
    Cleaned her up. bought it with 191k and it's auto. car is stock with a few minor cosmetic upgrades.

        I think he was talking about the pinstripe and the goofy decal.

          the rear decal needs to go.
          The pinstripe is kinda cool, but looks too alpina poseur to me.
          those tires are humongous!
          I like your car though.

                  As for the side striping; many of you may not know but BMW designed those and they were available as an option back when. I still have a set for a 4 door. As for the rear one. I took off the crusty chrome and as for the rear side. Contrary to the remarks..I get quite the compliments on them. As for the tires...well, I wanted all seasons and they didn't have the size I wanted so I went 1 up. handle fine, smooth ride. and believe it not..even great in light snow. So there you have it.

                  But! as I said: all a matter of opinion and that is what makes each and every e30 on here unique doesn't it now? :-)

                  yes, clean one is hard to find in Toronto; and to boot. u wouldn't believe me if I told you what I paid for it.

                  one last thing; there was an invoice with my name on it dated 2001 in the glove box. So I guess i was meant to have it.

                    You'll sift through garbage before you find a gem. Just a numbers game. and you'll most likely pay a premium for it. I've had a few clean ones or good base cars which I fixed up; such as this one.
