- leakycap 1y agoYes, but repair costs haven't gone down and the E30 will need maintenance and repair at $10k euro. Time without a car or an unreliable car also doesn't work for most working people these days.
- friendzis 1y agoHave a car that's effectively uninsurable and then spend months sourcing parts that are not chinesium whenever something breaks? For the same 10k you can get F30 which is not even in the same league as a daily people mover and is actually repairable.
- MarcelOlsz 1y agoI pay $130 a month to insure my E30. All OEM parts are 98% available and you can do tons of repairs yourself if you're so inclined, it's the Thinkpad of cars. I've run my E30 with raised suspension and some hardcore winter tires and I got through some insanely tough northern winters no problem. I get all my parts via FCPEuro. Here [0] you can see all parts in the car in a 3D way along with prices. Also has a Bentley service manual making maintenance a breeze. Brilliant car/community. Also gets 7.0L/100KM 40 years later.
