My 325e has been pulling family duty. (Pics added!)

Congrats on the kid and now you can all cruise together down the strip in style.

Thanks man.

Great to read things are going superbly with the Mariano family! :up:

Yeah man so far its been way better and not so life-ending than I thought it would be. All those cliches are actually kinda happening to me. Shit is just different now.

looks clean. i like your mirrors a lot.

Funny thing is, I left them black without remembering that the later model ones had them body color. But Ive gotten a lot of positive comments about having them black. I prefer it that way.

325i touring or 525i touring. duh.

Don't think I havn't tried. She won't even bite for an e32, an iL no less.

Honda odyssey FTMFW! My mom rocks one and it's awesome, good gas mileage, smooth ride, kind of fast too. It really doesn't feel like a minivan when you drive it either, more like a big sedan. Only maintenance we've done after 180k is change the t-belt and it still runs like a champ.

The Oddy is a good vehicle no doubt. Sad part about it is that it will very nearly spank my 325i in a straight line. When we only had one kid she was rockin a Saab 900 Talledega Turbo. We have three now and a behemoth of a vehicle is unforunatly a neccesity.

Nice eta by the way.:D

Me and my lil bro grew up in an e30 it was my parents main car and we rode in it all the time 85 coupe....it's prob where I got my love for these stupid ass cars hahah

Mariano's dad brought home the one he's using for family duty new from the dealership.



God, what I would give to go back 20-something years and sit in a brand-new, off-the-production-line E30...

^^ that's pretty cool. I wish I had some of the shit my dad used to cruise around in.

Man Josh. I can always depend on you posting that pic up. Thanks man. I always end up realizing how cool that is. :) I still remember the smell of getting in it. It was a smell only that car had when it was new.

First of all, I would never sell it. Second......we were just talking about this with my wife. I dont know if I could give it to her, just because Id be so scared of what a newly licensed driver would do to it. I was thinking of getting her something not so valuable at first and letting her learn until a few years where I would trust her more to own this one. That is.....even if she WANTS this one. She might think its uncool and that its old and that its totally a burn haha

:p well who knows maybe youll have a Mariano Jr and then he might think that dads M3 and e30 are the coolest cars in the world. if my dad had a e30 M3 that would one day be mine, i would be super excited... come to think of it, maybe im a bit bias to the whole idea since i already love them. your right Mariano, maybe my son (one day)will look at my car and call it a slow German brick, who knows?
