      Low black coupe, pretty sure late, paired with a bright red TE72 Corolla, both real clean and drifting the industrial area north of Miramar air base this afternoon. I don't think these guys expected to come around the corner sideways and find a bunch of open businesses, people working and E30s sitting around. If you're on here my buddy only yelled at you guys because his shop gets blamed when people do that and they just resealed the lot. Nice cars though.

                  Total shit pic, but spotted an E30 M3 'vert in Encinitas tonight. Not sure if real or conversion is more likely at this point with the 25 yr rule. Had out-of state tags but I couldn't tell from where, maybe in town for this big show I guess is going on in San Diego this weekend.

                      In the US, correct, but euro market got E30 M3 'verts. Less than 1000 made.




                      I was in an affluent part of suburban San Diego and it is the weekend of what is supposed to be a huge euro show, or else I would be far less inclined to think there is any chance of it being real. It looked bone stock aside from the wheels.

                      Edit: Side markers in front bumper lead me to think conversion, though GIS results in at least one photo of M3 vert in Europe with same bumper.

                              Really clean vert - you had a highlighter green shirt on.
