Dad's E30 had it's first ever actual breakdown yesterday. I think he'd had it 15 years October just gone. It's a 1990 325i SE manual and is getting up near 230K now.
It's had minor repairs like a clutch (1), brakes, a starter, an alternator repair etc, but this was the first time it EVER refused to start and left him stuck.
I thought it was impressive - it's never left him stranded anywhere, and the first time it does.....
..... the mechanic at a workshop giving it a WOF is driving it, INSIDE the workshop . When it finally breaks down, it's in the perfect place!
Dad's stoked with it, it by far the best car he's ever had.
If he wins lotto, he's going to have it rebuilt/restored top to bottom
