I know, hence why I still want one. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
They aren’t worth the money they go for now. I just always loved the styling and 6 cylinder engine of that era.
Where I learnt to work on cars he owns a 1985 325i coupe mk1 MTech. Completely original with like new leather. I could of bought it for £3k at one point around 8 years ago. Must be worth 10 times that now.
I've worked on a lot of E30's and we use to get them coming in weekly for £500-1000.
Hindsight hey! What a shame. It was the 325i mtech that I wanted.
Always liked the old Porsche 944's myself , had a chance to buy one years ago but bottled it data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7...

E30 was my first desire (after the GTI), and then I swiftly turned around and realised I could have a Bentley GT for less data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Damn I remember that my girlfriend (at the time) turned 18 before me, and whilst I was still on my 4 stroke moped 50cc (but bored out to 90cc data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7). She got a brand new E30 from her parents for her 18th...A brown 320i two door. They were so good to drive...
I must admit that I've already done the 5'series, not by owning one, but by having had 3 BMW 7 Series already which are effectively very similar but better kitted out; I had a 750iL and 2 x 740i.
Damn an E30 looks so good to me....
I agree that the XR3i's will make it at some point, the square headlight just don't do it for me...
Saab I love, but I've had 3 already. My first was a Turbo-16 coupe, second a 2.3 Convertible, and final one a 93 2.0T T18, special tuned version from Saab City in the City of London. So much torque steer that you can put your foot down and keep going straight data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'm more comfortable with electronic than mechanics. That was the good thing about the 7'series, I could diagnose and change nearly anything with my laptop and programming skills. So that doesn't scare me at all...
I love the Clio's but they have no approvals from those indoors data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Tempted by going something Japanese, but that shout out by @rousetafarianabout the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI is a real good shout. Fits the bill perfectly of a car to work on that is simple.
But then @Dony through a spanner in the works with a wild car...I really like the Brera, yup the newest of the lot, but I love it. And that actually make me start thinking about an Alfa 75, I wonder whether they have survived....
I'm happy to check this one out for you if it's anywhere localish.
