Sold the E30 and bought a...

You betrayed your e30 and it died because of this.

This.

Seeing your tastefully moded e30, then hearing that it was totalled is not helping the fact that I only somewhat like Z3's :???:

But as yo said, it works out better for you and all we can do is demand updates as the new ride comes along :)

Sad. As lame as this sounds, I've always looked up to your car and have used it as an example to aspire to... for example that's why I went with euro bumpers on my 87 IS.

OEM chassis x-brace and front strut bar stat!

Every Z3 i've driven has had the cowl shake like the E30 verts. Is it apparent in yours yet?

[KirkerBezerker]

I just don't understand why people put so much work into their cars just to sell it off at a fraction of the value.

I'm considering getting my fiance a 1.9 z3 to save on gas.

you suck

[e30e]

Nice, you bought a modern e30 with a better steering rack and front suspension.

[audiquattrot]

i would've only made that plunge if it were an M-coupe. otherwise....give it 6months and you'll be in total regret mode. g/l with the new car though. =)

This is so true.

Hahaha. I knew those comments were coming, but that's alright.

I sold the e30 because it would have taken thousands to get it where I wanted, and there were too many things wrong with it. Before I sold it, it was in "I hate Eric mode" and those who live around me (wishno87) can agree with me on that.

The Z feels much, muuuuuch better than the e30. The e30 felt sloppy and unsure.

Of course I'll regret selling the e30, but I'm much happier in the Z.

To the person who said ' I just don't understand why people put so much work into their cars just to sell it off at a fraction of the value'

Sure it was a lot of work, but I wouldn't have got no where near what I got for it. I had to let it go because it was becoming a money pit.

I wanted something reliable, and the e30 didn't fit that bill.

New car looks slick, never liked the z3 in silver though, i don't know why. Should be a blast though :D

I've been considering getting rid of the 30 and snagging one of these as well.
How do you like it? Driving wise how does it compare to an e30?

I love it. It is 10x better than the e30. I'll go back to an e30 sometime, but for now, I don't have to worry about my car not starting or have something breaking. I am incredibly happy with what I bought.

i don't like z's. where i come from only queers drive them along with miata's.
i guess the "m" versions are cool though.
i would have kept the e30...

That's cool. How I was brought up, I don't discriminate against others.

Nice penis car, fag.

;)

My mom has one of these, yea eric, my mom.

Steering feel is heavier, and imo less connected feeling. A bit more of a rubber feeling.

Car is small and nimble, but like i said, not as raw feeling. Also, with how small it is, it doesn't give much impression of being light, and compared to a hartop e30, it really isnt. Visibility with the top up can be pretty bad, but thats pretty common for any of the car's competitors.


m54 has a nice powerband though, and it seems to stick pretty well as well as keep its composure at higher speeds

Did you NOT read my post in the PNW section? A lot of moms and dads drive these. They kickass.

I'm thinking the opposite. I approve of the steering and the bigger brakes that the 3.0 provides. I can take it around corners going pretty quick and have it stay completely planted to the ground..yet when I was in the e30, it was struggling to go that same speed, around the same corner, and couldn't hold it's ground.

Yes. I should start a new "Hey, new girl on board" thread ;)
