laadeelaa 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Hey Kylee. It's your choice, but I think if you bought that feral 316, you'd hate in after a few months. Trust me. Depends how much you like driving, and how much pull behind the wheel you like, as a 316 could be a bit of a slug for you. If you're wanting it as a first car, I'd say no too, as sooner or later you'd want to kick the living sh*t out of the chromes and will get stuck with them, with minimal views on trademe as they're becoming more dated as time goes on. Pretty much every guy on Bimmersport loathes chromes, especially on an e30's. I just think you could find more bang for your buck with a more decent manual e30, that doesn't look like a fail. There are plenty of guys in Hamilton, espcially in the younger age group, who could help you out with finding an ideal one. There is also a Hamilton car photoshoot meet on the 31st, if you headed along and had a look, you could have a decent look at e30's and decide if that fail green thing compares to the guys ones. Don't let the guys scare you off, a new female addition to Bimmersport is quite a big deal, especially if you stay on. Good luck finding an e30 anyways!
