      The car has a ton of character. I've had better driving and nicer cars but none have put a smile on my face quite like this one.

          When I drive my e30 people move and pause and stop for me. I feel like a bauce. When I drive other cars like the work van or a rental corolla or whatever I get fools cutting me off left and right and basically go by unnoticed.

          Cops even compliment my car, instead of ticketing it.

          However I want to change my urethane bushings cause they annoy the fuck out of me. I must be getting old.

            simply, because of the smile it puts on my face. Tonight, I saw her in the driveway, covered in leaves, dirt, grime, etc....Ive been too busy to drive her for over a month. I just took her our, washed her, and now I am fucking chipper. The car is just a dream.

                Wow, that speaks volumes for structural integrity. Did you take a pic of the aftermath?

                    I think the favorite thing about my E30 is that it seems to respond positively to everything I do to it. When I replaced my odometer gears, it didn't work at first but it seemed like the car just WANTED to make me happy, so they began working a couple days later.

                          It represents simplicity at its best.

                            'cause it allways brings a big smile to my face every summer I bring it out from the garage, even tho I've owned it for over 4 years.

                              For me, it's probably the most driver-centered car I've ever driven. Pedal placement, shifter placement, steering feedback, throttle response, brake feel, all are exactly how I want them.

                                then put it away for the winter, buy a crapbox....... come spring it will make you fall in love all over again, unless your E30 is a piece of crap.

                                and PS.....
                                if an e30 does nothing for you, an E21 will def. be worse. (even more raw)
