Owners comments:
By far and away the best E30 I have ever owned or driven. The car drives flawlessly; there are no rattles or sqeaks from inside the car and feels like new. The performance is absolutely fantastic and the build is second to none; it looks as though it left the factory this way. Drive it to the shops with the kids in the car and it behaves impecably, but lose the kids and all hell breaks loose. It is every car that you need and the best E30 BMW never made!
