If you're looking for the classic hype of an e30, the flexibility of German Engineering, and have a need for a second-car beater/modder, A 190e is pretty hard to beat
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson
Most cars tend to look good low, to a point. Subjective: Tucked wheels and excessive camber look horrible on everything though, and they indicate a car which does not function well, and function > form every time.
Having owned and modified a Volvo 240, I must point out that in order to lower one to that extent, you either have to bag it or go static and accept the fact that it's pretty much undriveable and useless. At that height the crossmember is nearly touching the ground, and the car doesn't even look that low because of the huge rocker gap.
I guess to clarify my last post, when cars are that low they just look like the suspension all collapsed; like they're hurt and need help. There's definitely a sweet spot for lowness, though, don't get me wrong.
I likely won't ever "slam" anything. But somebody thinks it looks pretty.
For example: I think wheels with 5 spokes look perfect on an e30. Some may disagree.
If nobody ever cared what their car looked like, all cars would look like a prius. That doesn't mean I don't think that some cars stupid. Beauty in the eye of the beholder and whatnot.

Those volvos look great!; and of course most german cars look great slammed. Now since I just bought one of these 1st gens, I think they look great lowe'd. City of San Diego and caltrans do a good job in preventing DD's from being stance imo, but children do their thing.
I hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.
