Yamahoo 6 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 Took a trip to Sandy Bay (Matapouri). The Hikurangi to Sandy Bay Rd is just a superb bit of Tarmac - about 20k or so of the perfect combination of twisty, windy, short straights and switchbacks. Reminded me again of what a superb chassis the e30 is, even in cab form. Certainly there are quicker and more comfortable cars around, but the soundtrack of the m20b27 screaming like a banshee , wind in my hair and the sun on my back - so hard to beat. Hung out with family for a bit at the Bach and then got to enjoy it all again on the return trip. For a car that is now 26 years old, you'd have to say BMW did a lot right with the e30 and it is so good to find a bit of road that proves the point. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, had a great run to Raglan on back road with a couple of bikes a few years back, learner on a big bike (?), was great fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 607 Report post Posted January 19, 2014 This is true. I also have no evidence or reason to accept this limitation outright. Is a proper e36 towbar bolted up to the chassis or rear subframe? Excuse my ignorance. Mine are all part of the rear bumper mounts that go into the rear of the chassis and then the bottom extends under the rails and bolt thru them too. The one on pldubs 318is just bolted thru the spare wheel well and one that goes under it and thru the bottom of the well I think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
