Springs and sway bars turn it into an absolute handling beast you can drive easily at the limit. I loved mine.

E30 is truly a great design for BMW. But the last of its type? Check out the varieties of the E82/88. Drive one. And then decide.

I've owned seven e30s, great cars. Over a period of about 13 years I've had five convertibles and two coupes. First one I acquired was a one lady owner 87 325is coupe, an eta coupe and a great array of 325 verts... I hit a deer with one doing 65 mph on the interstate. Had it flatbedded home not realizing I actually could have driven it and did the next day.. Last I had was two years ago, a triple black one owner 5 sp with a factory hardtop.. They have a place in my heart but I appreciate the advanced redesign of the e36 and have had probably eight Or nine of them. Still driving a 96 328 sedan that I love and also a 99 528 msport sedan. Pic of the triple black car..
