(yet another) e30 m3

[irish boy]

hey just thought I'd post up quickly.....just bought this machine. 1990, 49k miles and standard. Been looking for a good one for quite some time and was very pleased to find this one!
Anyway just spent the day driving from southampton to stranraer in Scotland and really enjoyed it! Just using the wifi on the ferry at the minute and only have a couple of pics from the journey up but will do a full report when I get home over the next days!
cheers for looking!

Thats awesome! Think I'd have to have it in red if I got an E30 M3...

[Lil' Joe]

49k!!??! Jammy bd.

Enjoy matey, looks a belter. Cost, if you don't mind?

[minimatt1967]

They're all coming out of the woodwork at the moment... no bad thing at all

[Liam79]

Looks fantastic! I agree with red being the best colour.

[Bodie390]

Very nice

[Roule Duke]

Absolutely stunning, it nice to see there are some low mile minters still around.

You're a very lucky man indeed, enjoy!

Lovely car mate in a great colour.

Whilst the car does look pretty good, I've never got on with red BMWs, it never suits them as well as other colours.

But then I'm bitter and twisted, I just want an M3, and can't see myself getting one for a loooong time!

Nice purchase - prefer a grey or black one probably myself. But boy, does it look good!

I'd agree with you in most cases. Proper red doesnt suit any BMW other than the e30 be that M3 or a tech2 and for sure an e24 6 series.

I am biased as mine is red but, looking at other colours, no other colour shows off a really good shine like a brilliant red car.

Couldn't agree more, but I might be very slightly bias.

Great looking car, nice to see so many of them on here over the last month all looking so good.

Before long we're going to need a pistonheads E30 M3 meet.

Yorkshire and back would almost double my annual millage!

Really wish I could have taken it to the E30 M3 meet at the ring this year as I'm there that weekend, but don't want to thrash it round Spa all day which we've incorporated into our trip.

[falkster]

Im the same with mine now Andy. I did 6 or 7 track days when I first got it. Now I couldnt bring myself to do it, dont get me wrong Ill give it a few beans from time to time but then I did 2 x 1 hour stints round Mallory park at constant red line.

Funny how times change.

I bought mine around 7 years ago did a couple trackdays, and loved almost constant enthusiast driving (when warm) and now it seams to have ended up wrapped in cotton wool in the garage.

I knew it had gone too far towards being a garage queen when I was sat in Munich Legends ordering new door handles and badges and putting tyre shine on the spare wheel.

I've just read that back to myself and really need to get a life!
