e30 cars offer better build quality then the later cars (e36, e46 etc)

Springs and sway bars turn it into an absolute handling beast you can drive easily at the limit. I loved mine.

E30 is truly a great design for BMW. But the last of its type? Check out the varieties of the E82/88. Drive one. And then decide.

I've owned seven e30s, great cars. Over a period of about 13 years I've had five convertibles and two coupes. First one I acquired was a one lady owner 87 325is coupe, an eta coupe and a great array of 325 verts... I hit a deer with one doing 65 mph on the interstate. Had it flatbedded home not realizing I actually could have driven it and did the next day.. Last I had was two years ago, a triple black one owner 5 sp with a factory hardtop.. They have a place in my heart but I appreciate the advanced redesign of the e36 and have had probably eight Or nine of them. Still driving a 96 328 sedan that I love and also a 99 528 msport sedan. Pic of the triple black car..
