A friend had one of these a few years back. Was a really nice car, he enjoyed pointing out all the facts about it, 1 of which is that the roof panel is the only panel that is shared by the other E30s. Trouble was he was only using at the weekends, one month he had to cough up £500 excess as it was broken into, the beasts couldnt steal it, but in trying to do so they ripped out all of the electrics under the bonnet and dash. total repair bill ended up being £2200, was an expensive night in london that one. The next month he had an expensive BMW service, they kept the car for 2 weeks, then got it back and sold it on.
