Love old school bmw's, they looked so much meaner back then, and a proper drivers car unlike today's fanny mobiles

Thats a beauty!

My second car was an E30. Loved it, but the worst car I have ever owned. It seemed like head gaskets where a service item

I learned to drive in an e28 528i and when I passed my dad let me have it, it was loony fast for having just passed.

I had a 325i sport e30 and then an M3 evo e30. And a z3m. Loved them all.

That 535i you have bought is a peach, absolutely love it

I like the old e30's just a shame they rust for fun. Was good fun to drive though.

I also love old beemers and had a few

5 x e30 (316i, 316i, 318i, 318is, 325i)
1 x e28
1 x e34
1 x e31 (840ci sport which i regret selling)
2 x e36 (still got one 328i sport but had a 320i cab)
1 x e39 (530i sport)
1 x e38 (728i shadowline sport)
1 x e46 (323i coupe)

Guna sell the e36 and buy another e28 soon

Had an e28 535i and loved it. Moved to the e34 m5 and have owned it for 9 years now. Both remind me of my old rs2000s

I love that 4.4 v8 manual install....I had a 4.4 v8 in an e39 5 series and that was a brilliant car...it could certainly teach modern cars a thing or two about ride quality. Should be brilliant in an e30

E28 started just as the E21 finished really

The E21 3-series ran alongside the E12 5-series

The E30 3-series ran alongside the E28 5-series time wise
