    In addition to being a daily driver... (E30 off-road content)

    My car is also a track car, not to mention a rally car. Sort of. Well not compared to my buddy's jeep, he is absolutely insane in that thing.

    Here are some pics. This is in Albuquerque, NM by the way.































    And I must have checked about 500 times if my oil pan was still there....

        I wasn't on board until I watched the videos of the E30 in action, now I want an iX just to make into a dirt/fun car.

                Everyone seems to think you need awd to drive offroad. It might be easier to control but trust me, rwd is alot more fun.

                    Please allow me to save your interior. I have a set you're more than welcome to abuse.

                    Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.

                    Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
                    Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

                      ha ha! I have 4 cars, but this one is the beater/DD/track/rally car. Not sure why any of you think my interior is worth pampering, and yes you do NOT need AWD, i don't even have an LSD and i never had any problems getting stuck.

                      and it was great fun.

                          Badass jeep, and I enjoyed the action shots of the E30.

                          Reminds me of the good ol days in my 85 325. I had so much fun on dirt roads!

                            There, fixed. There's clearly a road there that you are driving on, its just not paved.

                            To really drive "offroad", you'll need good ol' part time selectable-range 4wd. And ground clearance. Neither of which an e30 offers.
