Seems like tastes have shifted in favor of the E30.

Glad I only have an anonymous E46 these days, which isn't a bad thing if you want to go fast.

If you mean attention from people on the street, then yes, same here in the Philly area. I have been getting more thumbs up from people, but especially more people in modern BMW's rolling down the window at stop lights to make a comment about my ride. It's been fun!

All sorts of people. In the last three months or so, I've had some kid on a bike while at a gas station take a photo of it, some mom in an SUV told me she loved it, a guy in a 335i (or something) complimented it, and most recently while in traffic two little kids in their front yard started pointing at it excitedly, which I assume meant they liked it. So really the whole spectrum of people. I've never gotten this much attention in it. Seems like tastes have shifted in favor of the E30.

BMW seems to have sent the blind design head off to destroy Rolls Royce now.

Good riddance, but some of the people coming in sound like scrubs also... the guy who butchered the Volvo SPA design language to make the polestar electric cars, someone who designed the recent Mini abominations, and two others that sound alright.

I hope they have been tanking, have you seen what they've been producing? A bunch of enormous ugly crap. Like, stunningly ugly. It's hard to believe the same company that made the E24 makes the stuff I see on the roads and at car shows now. I ultimately have no idea if their ugly cars are causing poor sales or even if their profits are truly "not good" but I can only hope their ugly cars are biting them in the ass so they'll change direction.

You wouldn't pay $112K for this beauty? LOL!!! Utterly horrible

BMW and Lexus seem to be in competition to see who can make the ugliest vehicles. I don't know what's going on in their design departments, but its bad.

Also, anyone notice E30s getting more attention lately? Seems like my E30 is getting way more attention this year than it has previously.
