a classic beater...

ShockDoc · 08-08-2011, 10:16 AM

I've noticed this parked in my work parking lot the last few weeks. Even though it's pretty beat up- I find myself stopping to look everytime I pass. I bet it's still a blast to drive. Sorry for crappy cellphone pic.

That's pretty random., it's a twenty year old 325i with alloy wheels and an M badge and it finally gets its big day with its own special posting on M3 Post.

Nothing against normal E30s (I really like them) but the normal ones are not really that special and are pretty common like the one posted

Turn the badge upside down and it'll be a "Wiii" car.

i loved E30s. Had 3 as DDs over the course, but gas mileage sucked. Very well built cars tho.

I have an E30. 318iS to be specific and I get roughly 32-33 mpg on the highway and around 21-22 on the street.

I just bought a 87 325 last month, and yes it is very fun to drive.

Gas mileage is great, close to 30 a gallon.

Parts for it are so cheap, in the process of a complete overhaul.

I love e30s but if Id care about that car as much as the OP does, I would take that badge away when noone is looking. I think this is one of those cases when stealing is justified, just as the case when the starving to death steals a loaf of bread...
