Speaking of clean E30s

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

With all of the E30 talk lately I figured I would take a couple cell phone pictures of my mother’s car.
She passed away 2 years ago and my father has been bombing around in it ever since.
The car has never seen snow and rarely sees rain.
The odo just flipped 87,000 miles.
It is autotragic unfortunately.
The car is all original except the top.
Her winter car was the 325IX that I purchased from her before she purchased her A6 Avant for winter months.
Edit: The little things you see on the doors are nautical flags that represent my parents initials, they enjoyed sailing.

Are you going to pave your driveway or just rely on quattro to get through it in the winter?

[Nikuk]

@Nikuk

It’s not for sale, I just wanted to show another clean E30.

Thanks and thanks.:biglaugh:
Word of advice; Don’t drink all day at the fair when they are going to auction off chain saw carvings that night.:lol:
The money went to a good cause though, America’s Erie County Fair Agricultural College Scolarship Fund.(Say that 3 times fast.)

Your driveway is almost 1/4 mile long, make it an 1/8 drag strip

[POOPRA]

by the looks of your house im sure you dont have to win the lottery to pave your driveway

Believe me I have thought about it!
The first 1/8th is flat and the second 1/8th is up hill which helps in stopping.
I don’t think the neighbors would be to happy though.

ugh, that m3 is about at as clean as yours! so nice!

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

I need to get one of these for my new car. I purchased my mom’s (then dad’s) BMW from the estate. Sentimental reasons mostly but my first vert will be fun I am sure.

[Jam]

I keep getting the itch for another e30 myself. theyre so fun.

[BadnewsMike]

Nice I really enjoyed having the convertible this summer. Ill miss it next summer

and sorry about your dad

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

Thanks.

It is fun but I think the vert E30 weighs about 500lbs more than a M3. lol

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

My Ferd F250 could tow this thing to 60mph faster! lol

Pics bro, pics.

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

I noticed my original pics are gone. I will get pics with the updated wheels.

[Jam]

yes, new pics are needed.

and you should just s50 swap it, cheap and easy, a lot easier than 6 speed swapping an rs6

[Blue_Eyed_Devil]

A pic from a couple years ago. I will get better ones soon.

[XwalkerX]

my e30 thing went off…

for some reason i seem to only take pictures of my car in the wash bay
also pay no attention to the mexican blanket in the back i use to cover the suede seats from my dog
