Super minty Alpina tribute spotted at All German Auto in Oceanside... apparently the owner has quite the collection of 80s BMWs. If you're on here man- nice car!!

Is that 1 of Jon's cars?

Would love to see this thread get revived! Here's a few from the past few years:


This guy must've had a swap or F/I... he was HAULIN' on the 2/210 (gorgeous car too):




The rare touring spotting just north of the 78 on the 5:

I need to hurry up and post up what I see out in the wild.

Sucks that this thread is dead. Here's a photo dump of some stuff I've seen throughout this year.

Two dead e30s in a yard near LKQ Chula Vista. Saw em on my way into LKQ.



Two e24s and an e28 524td in front of a shop in Escondido.





2002 I saw in San Marcos when I went to Carquest. Was picking up intake mani gaskets so I could redo the bitch tube o-rings lol.



CLEANNN 325is in Santa Barbara. This car was seriously such a sight in person.





My friend's neighbor's sedan. I was helping my buddy replace the clutch on a mk4 GTI and ended up parking next to this when I got there.



Spotted this vert in Oceanside while on a date with my girl. Was walking alongside her and ran off to take a photo, she didn't even notice -_-. Also had a huge dent with a wile e. coyote sticker lol.





A GODDAMN e28 m5 AT ONE OF MY HIGH SCHOOL'S FOOTBALL GAMES. I was incredibly sad I didn't get to meet the owner, but I'm still happy that I got to see one of these in-person.





Finally, a vert that I found while going out to look at xmas lights with my girl. Was pretty beat but still cool nonetheless.

No one has seen an E30 in the wild (or at least posted one) in too long!

Here's a stock cabrio I spotted in Newbury Park last weekend...

I spot them all the time boss, I just don't have an account to post pictures on here anymore. And I completely forgot how to upload stuff. It happens, I'm getting old.

Good first post, reminds me of my last E30. Always good to see one being used in the real world.

spotted outside pick your part in oceanside today after a 325i went up for scrap yesterday. unfortunately i was too late to get anything i needed, but it was fun going to a scrapyard for the first time and finally seeing another e30. +bonus pic of the mauled 325i
