E30: gone but not forgotten
The E30 – our beloved E30 – is SOLD due to a confluence of circumstances. She will be sorely missed, but we hope we can replace it with something just as cool in the near-future.
We don’t think it’s going to be our last time owning an E30.
Saying goodbye with some photos:
RIP to your E30! Hope you find your way back behind the wheel of a BMW soon!

Time for an air cooled…maybe from Germany.

Sorry, bud. There’s a stock E30 coupe in my ‘hood and I think of yours whenever I walk by it. Oh, the possibilities. And strangely, the owner leaves the windows down, all the time.

Sorry to hear but the hunt for the next will be soon enough!

I hope the “confluence of circumstances” consisted of someone giving you a bag full of money, to the point where you couldn’t refuse.
Which leaves extra money lying around for a nice old 911.

Sorry to see the pure classic go!
I’ve always loved the red cockpit-display look at night. My ’97 A4 is the same way and I am sorry to see no modern car I am aware of carries this on. I am forever turning down dash lights and shutting off display screens at night – just ask my wife how often we tussle over the bright blue glare of the 4″ radio display in her Hyundai ET.

Bummer man, that was a good looking 3 series. I can safely say I know what those situations feel like and they suck. Hopefully everything will work out for you in the near future! Good luck!

That is the saddest thing. I really liked posts about this car.

thanks folks. it’s not all waterworks— there are more good things to come, hopefully.

i loved that useless fun-o-meter. all it did was point out the obvious.

Always been envious of this car, such a nice example. Those interior shots are lovely!
