How Many E30 Owners on the NorCal Board?

Just wondering. Most of you have E39s and up...too rich for my blood, or bank account for that matter.

The 850s are beasts, but I heard the V-12s were a pain to maintain.

Really cool cars. I remember drooling over them when they came out in 1991??

I use mine as a daily driver so I cheated and got the V8 for gas purposes (that decision is paying off now!). E31s have the rep as being hard to maintain, but incredible support on roadfly's E31 forum, so much of the work can be DIY to keep the costs down if you choose. Since the car has the same engine as the 7 series...it is not totally unfamiliar to shops for fixing. Parts still pretty easy to come by also.

Cars were from 1991 to 1997...roughly 6000 were brought to the states during those years. Pretty rare and unique styling so the car often turns heads and is still mistaken for a new car/style.

The E31 had the same effect on me when I first saw it as when I see a beautiful woman walking across the room at a party. Early 90s were not the haydays for automotive styling, but "wow" was the first word that came to my mind when I first saw it at the BMW dealership down the road from my house.

Yeah, the V-12s with today's premium gas prices...ha!

A dentist from two buildings over has a pristine M6 with less than 40k miles. Red and tan and original everything.

Man I love those 6's
