      I went to SLC for both of my e30s, Indiana for my 540, houston for my girlfriends e36, and Atlanta for my mom's e36.

      The northwest in general just sucks.

              ^Got the 3 wheel motion! sick rabbit, and OP needs a proper photoshoot but looks good. US bumpers just don't do those cars justice.

                      e28s are awesome. I love the torque, really sets the car apart from the e30 m20. My 535is feels like a freight train with its push, whereas the e30 needs full revs and quick shifts to feel fast.
                      My e30 and e28 are both up for sale::

                        Thanks

                        Thanks for the kind responses.

                        Yeah, old cars can be cool and fun. For ten years, I drove nothing but new cars every few years. They are nice when they are new, but they soon become old and used, and it is very expensive to keep up that cycle.

                        I suppose repairs can raise the overall cost of owning an older used car, but it probably still beats spending $5,000 a year on lease payments for a car you don't own.

                            I was almost going to buy that car in Lake Oswego. The seller and I had an appointment to meet on tuesday. Hope you enjoy it. I got 89 325i instead.

                              What a Small World!

                              Wow! What a small world!

                              I got the 533i for my youngest son. He is not yet old enough to drive, but will be soon. Plus, we can always use an extra car for when my older sons return from school or the army.

                              How do you like the 325i?

                              Although I enjoy driving the E28 because of the torque, I really much prefer my the way my E30 iX handles. E30s are just so right.
