And loved them. My first was an E reg 1987 325i manual (not a sport) in Zinaber red. I drove it like I stole it everyday. It needed a few bits and pieces one month, suspension bits, tyres etc, so I took it to my mechanic friend. He assured me that if I continued driving on the road like I was I would be in a ditch next week. He could tell from the way the car was worn out. I took his advice and purchased a 325i sport manual in black, that I started to take on circuit days. I spent cash on this motor. Brakes uprated, suspension uprated, quality tyres, stripped out, with 2 bucket seats. Not long after this I ended up in a ditch on the track. I don't have any e30's anymore but look back on my time in them with great fondness. Even the ditch incident.
