melowpuf 19 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 I've had my E34 525i(m20) for 10 years in August.. Although she is now without an engine.. (its sitting in Apex's car, I had a brainwave which was to do a conversion on the old girl. But the conversion ended with removing the engine... its on the to do list). She's sitting on the driveway under her blankets and I can hear her crying every time I reverse out the driveway in the e36. I can't bring myself to do the deed and send her off to the scrap yard.. One day that engine will come along that I can throw in her and take her rego off hold. Even though she wasn't the fastest car in the world, I really miss driving her.. Nothing like driving a lounge suite down the road.. The e36 is so small and you feel every bump and I miss being able to fly over judderbars at 100 miles an hour.. E34's make great paddock cars.. Even the 520's I think they are the most fun... nothing like listening to an m20 about to explode... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant 4 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 I had one of my E30's for 7 years. Would still have it today (11 years) if it wasn't destroyed 3 1/2 years ago. It was a great car. I have had my current car (not the family wagon) for 2 months. I would push it off a cliff today if I didn't need it from time to time. I try to avoid driving it it is so horrible. However the wife has given me the go ahead to buy the car I have wanted for ages so the hunt for the right one is about to start. I will keep that one for a long time.
