the e30 M is nice, but i'd rather take the 135i and view the e30 M from my rear view mirror...

E30 is nice but I am much more into new stuff.

That 135 looks pretty good in blue. Many pics I see make it look pretty ugly. But some pics make it look pretty nice. I need to go see one in person.

Here's a blue E30 to compare with the blue 1(yes, it's a repaint and the badge is incorrectly placed). I think the 135 looks good and is fast, but E30 all day every day for me. Classic.

The E30 M3 doesn't have massive grip (wimpy 205/55-15 OEM tires), but balance and feel are superb.

Grip is overrated

dude. E30 ///M3>everything bimmer has built since!

damn true... But I still love the love Alpina, an older car enthusiast has a older Alpina a 86 B7...

it makes more power than what it was rated at more than 22 years ago now... Expensive parts though, 4k for a oem exhaust, pretty sure they dusted it off from way back in the warehouse
