My E46 looks HUGE next to an E30

In Before E46 bashing....


That is a nice E30 :yikes: Got any pics of the front? Your car is significantally lower with much shorter windows as well...

Two great cars!

I may offer to detail his car just so I can feel the lines.

You want to feel up your neighbor?

I wonder if they make M68 replicas for the E30...hmm....

My wheels would make his brakes look unreasonably tiny.

Used to park next to my ex-boss's E30. My 328Ci looked huge!

I used to park my 323Ci next to a 635CSi in the garage, and the two cars were about the same size.

Are you shure about that?

The E24 has always looked longer to me :dunno: Maybe it's just an illusion due to the very sleek body. It certainly weighs quite a bit more than the E46...

for you 325 guys, size doesn't matter

just glad to have found where everyone went from bimmer.org:thumb:

No, the 635 was slightly longer, but not a whole heck of a lot. I remember one morning specifically when I parked right next to it thinking to myself "I've always wanted a 635 but the car I've got is almost the same size and 15 years newer."

There was an M6 and an E34 M5 at the autocross yesterday; both are great, classic cars, but neither one is an autocrosser. Both looked a little woozy out there on that tight track, and the 3.5L six (by modern standards) just doesn't have a huge amount of poke relative to their weight. It's amazing how much faster the E36s were.

Oh, and just FWIW, for a little while fast-time-of-the-day was held by an E46.

Not feeling that chrome bumper on the 325is. Your E46 is a better car.

"For a little while"? Let me guess, you beat it?

I had a good weekend too. No M6s at the track http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5065

I will auto-x for the fist time at the Naval Air Station this weekend

Alee-

If that guy ever wants to sell that car, EMAIL ME RIGHT AWAY.

I've been on the lookout for a white E30 325is for a while. The "s"s are more rare than I would have thought. BTW, the "s" stands for SPORT.

I still miss my old E30 and would loe to pick up a clean copy. Typical used prices are $3-4K, so it's not like it'd be a huge investment. Parts are relatively cheap too.

Nope. Nor did I. One of the E36 M3s did though. But that E46 time WAS held by a board member, CD-55.

Check out this thread at Roadfly for a couple of pics-

You'd love this car too... it's pristine. 5M, for your pleasure.

I'll be sure to think of you if he ever wants to sell it. Big if, cause he loves his E30.

Any time I see the words "My xxxxx looks HUGE..." can't help but chuckle.

Sorry.

Yea, I saw those pics. You need to get a telephoto lens

I just thought that it might have been JST because of the wink

No, I'm not that quick yet; I just thought it was a bit funny in light of the recurring E36/E46 spats.
