The what keeps your from selling your car thread?

Because it is a cool, fun, cute, rowdy little go-kart of a car...even broken down, sitting next to my house.

EDIT: How nasty is this! Looks like squirrel poop.



Time to get the little bitch back on the road!

I changed my mind. It's 75 and sunny here in ATL, took the E30 (the first drive since October) down to little 5 to get some food and then just putzed around and ran some errands. I guess I just treat it like a motorcycle, just gotta remember the Stabil next winter.

Fuckin awesome.

[MR E30 325is]

I would never sell my E30 because of how I feel behind the steering wheel.

I have had the opportunity to jump behind the wheel of many different cars, and none feel the same. Hell, none even come close. The whole thing is just... perfect.

For one, a lack of a good replacement vehicle. Also to me, spending 100 or even 300 dollars to keep my car running is less of a hit than 7 or 8 thousand on a replacement vehicle.

:rofl: True story, even with s50

I actually experience the exact opposite. No one really keeps up.

Sentimental value, love, hate, and never getting remotely anything I put into it.

Every time I almost keep up with a minivan off a stoplight I know it was totally worth the motor swap.

cause im not done with her yet, and probably never will be ;)

[pharow]

Mostly the ease of maintenace, and being able to say that I own a BMW.

Lack of $2500 E31s.

im 56 yrs old and have only had mine for 2 yrs. but i gota say, im in luv. iv'e driven all types of cars, from new to junk and i am in love with this car. have only done general maint. on it and a used trans. as well as a couple mods. 3.25 lsd and a chip. got 300,000 on in it and she runs almost like new. just gota know, how far will she go????

[e30e]

Cause its worth more in parts than whole and I'm not taking the time to deal with cheap asses on craiglist or shipping parts to cheap asses on r3v. Plus it makes a great mobile storage unit for my parents.

I could never part with my pink fender. And no one would buy it. And I love how no one ever expects it to be fast.

-Because of things like the e30 picnic, when you meet people you have never met before, and you fell as if though your best friends

-Because the books arnt clear, your buddy comes over so you can study his car

-When everytime you need help, your friends race to your house, cause they want your car on the road

-Because e30 friends are like none other, and like and care about your car even when it not running

-because of the weekly get to gethers

-Because no other random buyer would appreciate the time and parts on it, and understand euro and rare

-Because no one would pay my asking price

-Because i dont know shit about other cars


Maybe Im emo, but i think the e30 is a special car to own, and other people just dont understand us
