Best song to listen to in an E30?

What is the best song to listen to while driving your e30?

I would have to say 99 Luftballons by Nena, I don't know why its just is, I guess the engineers must have been listening to it while putting the cars together.

Whats your pick?

Lagrange by ZZ TOP

You can play 'lagrange' by ZZ Top (correct spelling on song title, i hope) or, trust me on this, 'born to be wild' (old song I know, but turns heads and ears.)

it doesnt matter what you are doing, if you have that song playing .. it instantly becomes epic.

not sure about an E30 necessarily, but Flower by Moby is good. Opening song to one of my favourite movies too... +100 Rep points to anyone that knows which movie

For some reason, 311's "Amber" was the first song that popped in my head. Not sure why, but the mood it illicits seems to be fitting of an E30.

That is a great song. It's amazing that it translates to English as well as it does. An old punk band called 7 Seconds did a good cover of that song, a better driving version for sure.

Appropriate song, the first one that came to my mind as well. Some others to consider; Smuggler's Blues by Glenn Fry, Miami Vice theme, Rock Me Amadeus, Rock Me Like A Hurricane, etc. are good '80's songs.
