gjm 3258 Report post Posted January 15, 2018 Sheeesht. If anyone had told me even a couple of years ago that an E30 would list for $13k I would have laughed. And laughed and laughed. How times change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 936 Report post Posted January 20, 2018 E30 prices are getting ridiculous, just buy an E36 and enjoy the fact that its a better car for less money. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most E30 guys will even tell you that from a mechanical point of view the E36 is the better car. But the interiors suck, the doors suck, the cooling system sucks, and it just looks like a dated 90s car, doesn't look like a classic 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can generally skip the e36 and head straight to GO, collect an e46 (better again I'm sure you'd agree) for less money than today's e30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1680 Report post Posted January 20, 2018 Tidy motorsport\M3 E36's look smart but for me seeing so many ugly pos ones around does a disservice. Prefer the E46 too but it's got its own issues. E30's will always be king. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 936 Report post Posted January 21, 2018 No I meant E36, clasic good looks especially the coupe, doors interior etc can all be fixed reasonably easily. For a track day car you could get an M3 for the price of some e30 325i's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30s are just straight cool but in reality the 46s are much nicer for much less. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herbmiester 936 Report post Posted January 23, 2018 There are quite a few baggy e36s around for sure but for that reason tidy ones stick out like dogs balls. I have seen a few slammed E30s in the last few months and they just scream flat peak, no idea numpties. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cammsport 391 Report post Posted January 23, 2018 Being an owner of all three (e30, e36, e46) I feel really confused. Our e30 coupe cost 3x as much as the e36, is way "cooler" alot quicker, manual and fairly timeless but I'm drawn towards the ugly duckling, the e36. As a consequence that's where the attention has been going. I like the lines. The cleanliness of the interior and engine bay. E46 is definitely a the least favorite child sitting in in the rain. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
