    first car bought when i was 16. automatic 89 325i 4dr. couple cosmetic mods, esm wheels and sound system. wrecked a couple months after purchse.




    went to school for 2 years and drove my dads 93 accord that nobody used. at 18 i bought another e30, 89 royal blue 4dr. did some bolt ons to it. when i turned 19 i bought a 2008 tundra brand new, i had the truck and e30 at the same time.




    two years later, i sold the tundra to my dad and bought a tj wrangler rubicon. 4 inch lift and bigger tires. also sold the royal blue e30 and bought my current red turbo e30. i used the money my dad gave me for the truck to paint/turbo/mod the e30.





    i kept the jeep couple months, and when i turned 22 i bought a 2011 maxima brand new and got rid of the jeep. i currently have the maxima, turbo e30 and the tundra is still in the family. no pics of the max, but its black sport package, lowered on eibach springs, tinted windows.

        First car I purchased was in 2002, a 1997 Nissan Altima GXE. Sorry no pics of this, bone stock and beater status. Drove it for a year.

        Next was a 1997 Acura Integra LS 4dr:





        Then after 2 years I sold it and got a 2002 Acura RSX base.





        In 2006, I traded the RSX for a brand new 2006 Mitsu Evo 9.


        How it progressed and looked like within the 4 years I owned it:






        Then in 2010, I sold the 9 and got me a 2010 Evo 10 GSR.








        In between the Evo 9 and Evo 10, I had a 1991 Miata that I bought from a local member Bernzpeed and drove it for a year.


        I sold the Miata due to it's tight cabin and trunk space. I needed another beater car that can accommodate my needs and still be a fun driver. And this is how I ended up with my current 1986 325.






        My 2 current drivers.

            Bricel24...nice EVO & E30! Great Combo!

            FrozenSolid...I <3 Tundras...I don't think I would ever own a truck, but if I did...I'd get a Tundra...or if I needed more power, I'd buy a Ford Diesel... But Tundra...hands down...it's like a big comfy car...

              Bought my first car on my own when I was 17. It was an '85 318i with a black spray painted early model IS valance and black hood. Had an M10 motor and probably the perfect car for a high school kid. Dind't last long though since it had problems but lots of character!

              Only picture I had of the car as a whole:


              Then when it was stripped and ready to be picked up by Pick 'n Pull:


              Then when I was 18 my dad went out without me knowing and got me a '91 318is

              Before:


              The most recent shot I have of it right now:


              It is sitting on KYB shocks, H&R Sport springs. Euro grills and smilies with 6k VVME HID's. IS lip, MT 1 steering wheel and other goodies. Engine is still a stock M42 but I'm going to run that bitch till she blows and then swap for a 24 valve later on.

              I'm 19 now and have paid my dad off for the car. Next up on the list are wheels, rear sub bushings, tint, and other things I can't think of right now!

                  Here is my "ultra short" (as short as it can be) history of vehicles (only 9 years).

                  1990 Ford Explorer




                  (Christmas Tradition - Wreath on Brushguard and Blinking Christmas Light Interior)

                  1998 Toyota Tacoma

                  My favorite car I have owned and by far the most memories... Sold back to Toyota for an deal I could no refuse due to frame rust.






                  1983 Toyota Pickup - "The Ugly Duckling"


                  Purchased as my first project car in college... Quickly realized without a real job/tools/space/ or money that she had to be sold. I regret selling this car and told myself the next project car I get I will do it right.



                  2003 Toyota Tacoma - Current DD

                  Picked up in "exchange" for the 98 Tacoma which Toyota purchased back for a frame recall.



                  1986 BMW 325e - "Flipper"


                  first e30 - spent hundreds of hours understand the cars to never drive her 15 ft.... Recently sold as a shell after picking up e30 #2.





                  Starting up for her last time:




                  1987 BMW 325is - "Scar"


                  A deal I could not pass up, the 87is. Swapped over all the new goodies purchased for the 86e.

                    Hmm where to start.... have to skip around a bit and leave out some of the more 'boring' stuff.

                    The first major car project I put together. '68 Chevy C10 with a 6.0 LSx swap







                    Then the first E30





                    More E30's





                    The E21



                    More E21's





                    The VW







                    Had a squid bike for a while. Great fun, until I decided to sell it before I killed myself or ended up in jail



                    Had this beater Mercedes for a bit, great road trip car



                    E34 Touring. Took it camping a couple times. Did a great job







                    Also played with old motorcycles for a summer. Including a mini bike haha







                    Interesting E24 parts car





                    Current E28 project





                    Current daily, A4 Avant



                    And of course, the vert

                        So, what's the reason you guys with the nice, newer cars keep coming back to E30's?

                          For me the E30 serves as the beater/dd and is awesome for what it is. The Evo is the real toy for track and autox.

                              Thanks man! No regrets here, all the cars I posted I had before my son was born. I now drive a 08 GMC sierra crew cab as a daily and I picked up an e30 vert as a side project/fun car.

                                Questioning God's Chariot!? My guess would be the joy one can get from driving such a simple car as the e30, as has been addressed numerous times. The attachment to the road is where it is at.

                                I might post up my shitboxes, but its just 3 e30's, 91 Cherokee 2dr, and a 97 Impreza.
