Official California E30 Sightings Thread

[IRON-E]

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.

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.

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

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:

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!!

The shop guys said the owner has a few e30s, including m3s. As well as some e28s and e24s IIRC. Unsure of the name of the owner though.

I don't think grigs owns any e24s as of late. He goes by @eurocorner on IG.

Next Friday it's 3/25 celebration day. See you at Midtown.

YOHB? Just came back from 7 days in California. I drove from L.A. to San Diego and was surprised that I only saw one e30 and one 2002 my whole trip. The e30 was next to La Brea Tar Pits and the 2002 was near Melrose at a body shop.

I see them on the road much less frequently lately
