Is an E30 prestigious?

[newman]

For the record, I've owned my E30 for 3.5 years and never driven it...

[ACMF74]

yep...and don't give a fk otherwise....

[mnstepchildrider1]

Lol, they can be, but most aren't

For the most part yes. That's why I bought one: fun to drive, cheap and reliable.

But then, there are a few who are insecure and try to convince themselves that it has the same prestige as a new Bentley

You are retarded. 99 percent of your posts prove this.

I don't see how your conclusion and his post are related...

Perhaps I was just annoyed when I read his post. I don't think anyone tries to compare their e30 to a bentley, that was my point.

some people do
mainly older people with really clean e30's, i don't think any e30's now are necessarily prestigious accept for the M3's, and there are some exceptions

I think bimmer_E30 would.

[Thehemiman]

No they aren't prestigious but they are cool and I guess I like em...

[Be30mer]

I think e30 m3's are the most prestigious BMW, right after the e9 3.0csl, which is a straight out sex goddess

The E30 is like a lego kit; cheap and easy to put together. They are just for fun. No prestige though.

I'm also sort of disappointed at the current poll results. Rob deserves first.

I think bimmer_E30 would.

Without question, yes he would.

I was being slightly sarcastic.

I think bimmer_E30 would.

Without a moment's hesitation.

Question for old people (blunt): Was the E30 ever "prestigious"?

Like in 1986, if you walked into the dealer and plunked down 26K for a 1986 325es, and drove down the boulevard, did that smack of prestige, or were you just regarded as a douche?

Yes, it was. My older brother's rich friends drove them in the 80's and got lots of waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles doing so. Now I drive one and girls run away from it screaming nerd. But it's ok, it's prestige is recognized by the right people, the people who actually give a shit about the car, its history, and where it will be in 10 years.
An e46 owner turned his nose up at my car once. I said one thing to him. "do you actually think your car will be worth anything in 50 years? Do you think you will actually see a market for restoration for your 328i in 20 years? Would you buy that car in 20 years?" He responded something like "no I would buy the newest Bimmer on the market" or something. I then said "well that's the difference between you and I, and our cars."
Fuck it. i like it, I didn't buy it to look cool or get respect from strangers. i get props b/c the love that i have for it is apparent in the way i treat it. That's it.

The problem is though, that nobody but us knows what the fuck that is. ONLY and I mean ONLY enthusiasts know what that is. I bet 90% of people who own a BMW from 1999 and up would have no clue what that was if you took off the Roundels. Same with an m1, z1, Isetta.... That's the problem, they look ahead, we look back.

PS thanks for the Rob, OGs know.

true. all the ferrari's, vettes, and 911's are getting all the attention.

It seems like the passion in BMW is gone. they are no longer making motorsport cars, but filling a gap in the market between mercedes and audi
what is the deal with rob anyways?
