How many people have you gotten into e30s?

[Julien]

I was reading the "how you got into an e30" thread and it got me thinking.. How many people have bought an e30 because of my passion for them? I'm at 7 or 8

Chronologically:
1. A good high school friend has always helped me work on mine and wanted one, but couldn't afford to get one until a few years later. I did let him drive mine quite a bit (he did put it in a ditch once.. lol)
2. Another High school friend drove mine once and sold his audi 90 shortly thereafter to buy one (he also put my car in a ditch, lol)
3. My brother: Never actually bought his own e30, but would end up driving the e30s that I left in Belgium over the years (89 318is, 89 324td/wagon & 92 318ic)
4. My brother's friend fell in love with the 92 318ic and bought it off me
5. College room mate from Sweden, had a fiat coupe he sold before coming to america. When he went back to Europe he bought an 320i touring. Now drives an e91 320d :)
6. My moms. She always wanted an e30 cabrio when they first came out but couldn't afford one. I bought one and restored it for her several years ago.
7. Mom's neighbor, liked her cabrio, bought one too.
8. College friend was big into JDM scene until I let him drive my 325is. He sold his zc? swapped crx and has owned 3 or 4 since.

plus probably some others that I'm not aware of :)

funny thing is I haven't owned an e30 in years :???: but my hs buddy now has an s52 e30 I get to pwn from time to time :D

Hey hey hey, I didn't put it in ditch, it was just 2 wheels off. In a ditch-like area...

Nobody except my mom and dad, lol. It could be said that my dad is actually the one who got me into e30s but I'm the only one in my family who's had them until he bought my mom a super clean 325i last summer. My older brother thinks Miatas are the zenith of balance and handling and that old BMWs are expensive and unreliable. Other acquaintances of mine already know that e30s are swell but are more into Audis or whatevers.

The rest are a bunch of old fellas from my church. One guy started flipping 318is' another has a stock 325 with weaves and r888s.


for good measure the car that started it all.

Absolutely none. Some people think its cool, my close friends hate on it (jealousy much?) and others don't even think of it as more than some raggedy old car. I can't blame em though, it is quite old and raggedy.

2 as of now, possibly going on 3.

[TimbyMaTombo]

I have one friend who wants one but is poor because college and everyone else makes fun of my car.... so none currently, but maybe one later?

[F34R]

Both of my brothers and sister own one, my parents also owned one because of me. Does not count for e30, but my best friend bought an e46 M3 because of my BMW love. He ended up selling it for a truck, but is now buying an e30 someday.

[mrcheezle19]

I got my best friend hooked, He's done with his whole 2jz Lexus SC idea and now wants a LS swapped e30. Should have it going soon.

[illest318i]

ZERO

I wanna keep it that way though. I wanna be the only one out of all my friends to drive something different. Different is better... In a good/ straight way.

I'm at 3

1. My friend Nikita, he couldn't drive stick so I drive it home for him

2.My Dad was next, though he had one prob. 15years back, coupe. Now he has a vert

3. My friend Max, drove his car home cause he didn't know stick.

I'm 20 and majority of my friends don't know stick... In fact, one girl I was driving with asked what the 3rd petal was for
