the coolest thing about the e30..

[87-325ic]

so when im driving at night, and people flash their brights at me thinking i have mine on.
All i have are the euro ellipsoids but i guess they seem bright.
i just find it really cool that i have a whole other set of lights to flash back at them.
i wonder what they think.

anyone else find this fun about e30s?

sorry.. just thought id share..


maybe we could turn this into another one of "those threads" what do you find unique and fun about driving your e30? something that you cant get with other cars.

I love my H1/H4's! With all four lights on high plus fogs, I can light things visibly more than a half mile away!!

I guess bright lights are OK provided that you are the one behind them and you don't have to squint through that blinding beam of light.

My e30 is one of the funnest cars I have driven, and I have driven a lot of different cars. The e30 is just so raw, like it is a real car not having all the comfort aspects of other cars. Makes me feel like I am not driving my living room around town.

Just my 2 cents on it. The car is just a blast to drive.

Ummmm, or maybe you need to align them ? I doubt other drivers think it's cool to blind them.

I like it when I pop the hood at gas stations, I generally get at least one guy walking over from his car to ask how I rigged the hood to open forward.

LOL.

I think that the coolest thing about the E30 is that its an 80's car that does not remind you of the 80's.

Every time I see a mid-80's G-body I think of mullets and atari games.

I like the fact i can fit my car anywhere as far as parking goes. Esp with these huge ass vehicles running around. My friends call my cabrio a "overpowered go-kart"

I constantly got flashed at night with my old e30's lighting setup, which was BOSCH euro smilies... both when I was just OSRAM Silverstars, and 4300k HID. They were painstakingly aimed per the Daniel Stern instructions, so it wasn't an aiming issue.

Yes flashing them back was always entertaining. I'd usually just do a single quick flash back, except for the retards that feel the need to flash you about 5-10 times in rapid succession.. at which point I'd flick mine on and make like I didn't notice.
