When I was a kid…
My dream cars were the E30 M3 and the 959. I had the chance to get a nice one decades ago and it’s done quite a few driving schools but the market got too crazy to justify the initial plan to club race. Now it sits in a garage waiting for a nice Pacific Northwest day to stretch its legs. Still under 33k miles! 
1986 BMW M3 E30.
Launched in 1985, this first generation was 1200 kg for 195 HP. 4 years later, the 2, 3 4 Cylinders got a bit more power( 215 HP ). That was something to drive and a dream for my ( our ) generation. The interior, quite austere, but not lacking charm.... T...
Co worker had a yellow one. Fantastic.
It was a great time, when these and Mercedes 2.3 16s were available new. Unfortunately BMW (and other manufacturers) have moved away from simpler cars in favor of overweight, overwrought automatons. But to be fair, the cars have gotten bigger at least in ...
I am biased.
Government, cause and cure of many a problem, especially here in France. I should probably write that, but have you heard of the newly published "Le décrochage français, histoire d'une contreperformance politique et économique (1983-2017) by Félix Torres ...
That's because you were interested in studying the law,
Not vaguely speaking legalese!
How much I like this car!
Parhaps, it's better a slightly newer version but I can settle for this one! Today I'm driving an old one too! My daughter's now!!!! ...
Third or even fourth gear up to the hills.
Impossible with the newest micro-displacement, turbo engines!!!!
We must keep some old car in every family as much as we can,
We may feel safer and relaxed driving one of those new, more or less autonomous cars, but "our generation" still need to drive with all feet and hands every once in a while!
How I dreamed of this car…
I had an E46 M3 which was a beast…but, the original was really special. Gorgeous car, and looked great in every color!
E46 M3 stole my heart
Had an engine that was sooo smooth and sweet (And powerful) (And cornered) (Oh, and had a ragtop)
While I’ve been obsessed with owning a 911, these E30 M3 really make me think this devotion !
I saw two fantastic E30s last week, among a sea of 911s and boy did they look great. Prices here are very strong.
From my early days, I have been a Mercedes-Benz boy.
I like B.M.W. quite, but the company is my brother's, at least symbolically!
Have you tried a 1M?
About the same size and agility with more power play. A bit different powerband play and less rpm because it's turbo. If only they put m3 V8 in it.
