Title: Another e30 bites the dust....
Post by: Sean_318is on March 31, 2010, 05:36:25 AM

Just saw a decent looking H reg (1990 ish) E30 316 2 door taken away on a transporter along with a nice e36 coupe with an m3 kit. Off to the scrappy :(

So many good cars have been killed with the scrappage scheme and the used car pool has shrunk raising the price of whats left.

In another five years I'll be able to help with that problem personally.  We can bring cars 25 years old into the States with very few restrictions.

I just hope within the 5yrs not too many e30s or bmws go to the scrap yards.

Does iS mean something different in the UK than it does here?

In the states that just means coupe.

Depends on the year, but iS usually means upgraded suspension and firmer springs.  Some years carry better anti-roll bars too.
