    Very nice, commited-a bit of a change from your last machine :)

    land9, E30 discussion aplenty can be found on E30owners.com

    I was a bit slow to post the URL until I realised that it was mentioned here a few times in the past anyway. I'm a member there myself, although I haven't posted in a while-and have found it very helpful. Would recommend to a friend.

    Best of luck with your search.

    This is mine:

    I drove an M3 and knew that I had to get my behind into an e30. I knew there was no way I could insure an M3, so after talking to a friend who's owned M3s, 325i Sports and a 318iS's, he told me his old 318iS was his favourite out of the lot. I bought this one after 3 months searching for the right car. It has absolutely no problem keeping up with 325i Sports, and handles like a dream.

    I was going to go for a 325i Sport, but when I did the sums, the 318iS made so much more sense. Insurance is only €1100TPFT for me, 22 1 year NCB, tax is €580ish I think and it's great on juice (worst ive seen is 28mpg, cruising at anywhere between 40 and 65, I'm seeing 40+mpg), 90mph (on private roads of course) is bang on 30mpg.

    I have a company car too, and I've considered selling it loads of times, but everytime I drive it I realise I cant sell it.

    Buy a 318iS folks :D
    I really don't get peope's fascinations with 15-20 yo box shaped BMWs. Can someone fill me in?Am I missing something?

    It isn't really necessary to quote the whole post in your reply.

    I had no love for them until I drove one. Coming from a car renound for its handling, a Mini, I found that the e30 handles even better and can chew up long journeys comfortably.

    My advice is, if you enjoy driving, go and see what all the fuss is about :)
