People Respek the work that I put into the car. Everytime I park in a parking lot, I always get someone saying, "nice car" or whatever.

Most people don't respek my car on the road however until I get on it and they know i'm not fooling around.

its where i met super duper bobby cooper now that i think about it.

Very strange indeed. I also noticed that e30 doors are made of pretty thick stuff. As george noted, it would take quite a slam to put a dent in your door. My touring is 17 years old, with several dents here and there, but not a single door-ding on any of its four doors.

Yea I hear ya...

E34's are now at the price that a non-bmw/car person can own them. I rather park next to a new ford then a e34/e28/e36. But, I see a 2002, and I snug up next to it, "head to head"

As for people that give you door dents...We were parting out a car, we had it on the lift, and the lift vertical steal beams of the lift were in the way. Since we know the car (an e24) was going to the junker, we make a test of how voilently you have to slam a door open to make a ding. It's VERY hard. Not a cauual open - but a angry slam to open.

Alright, so here is what I noticed yesterday. I have been driving my e30 more and more now that it's not raining and it's got enough maintance done to it etc.... The other day I parked the car at a grocery store, fairly empty lot. As I was leaving I saw an e34 5 series that parked right next to me, and figured NOICE... came back and found 2 new little door dings on the passenger side door, the e34 was still parked right next to my car and it's driver side door would smack my car right in the exact spot...

Do you notice that people don't really care about e30s or was this just a bad luck ?

I'd chalk it up to bad luck. Where I live, I could park a Bentley at the grocery store and some inconsiderate soccer mom would still either hit the car trying to park, or repeatedly open her door into the side of the car.

Honestly, I always park away from other cars. I work at an airport which means I park in the ramps. I always search out the most obscure places away from everyone else, and always near a camera so that I can keep tabs on it.

Sorry to hear about that... :(
