Did they make an e30 wagon for the us?
| |
I think I saw one (or maybe was an E36) but they're a myth on Autotrader and Craigslist.

Not for the US, but in Europe. A ton of them have been imported to North America privately, however.

Because I like the older body style. And it MUST be a stick, seems easier to find on older ones. I really want a wagon though to haul musical gear and I don't know if you could get such an E30 combination in the US, so maybe an E34. Idk. I'm probably just gonna impulsively buy the first 5 speed BMW I find in my price range so who cares.

I'm with you on this... I've owned at least 10 BMWs, most of them E30s... they're problematic but so much lighter than the E36, and have fewer problems. And rust less.
The E36 kinda drives like a truck in comparison.
The 325e cars were really underrated... the 2.7 liter "eta" engine was basically a diesel engine with spark plugs, but a quick one. I've pushed 2 of them over 500,000 and neither burned oil after that.

See I kind of disagree, I just drove an e30 325is and I thought it was much less refined, and handled kind of poor compaired to the e36. The e36 just felt more solid to drive, but that may be cause its a bit heavier and more complex. The 30 is definitely a more basic car and I wouldn't mind an xi and I think they look killer with a few exterior modifications.
| |
Everyone knows its all about the E34 
Speaking of which, Anyone want a 95 540i? Closest you can get to a M car in 95....
| |
my list sucks
1990 civic SI
1994 Camry
1997 Escort
1998 GTI
2001 Taurus
2002 VW jetta 1.8T
2001 ML320
2002 Audi S4
2008 Jeep Rubicon
2009 Hyundai Veracruz
Looking for an 05 S4 or an M3
| |
Get an m3, audis are ehhhh volkswagons. The BMW is a much better car.
| |
I've owned both, and I've found VW was a far better car than BMW. This goes with my career, too. I've been a mechanic for 11 years and have worked on everything short of a Bugatti or a Lamborghini.
And it's Volkswagen, not Volkswagon.

I'm a tech too, I own a BMW and would never buy another vw. I'm not here to argue but my opinion is there over engineered piles of junk. Water cooled that is, I wouldn't mind an old air cooled transporter though.

Lambos are stupid easy to work on, the hardest thing is aligning the rear deck lid. Its just a fancy audi in the end.

My list is as follows.
73 standard beetle (My daily driver)
2001 Civic (drove for a year inherited from my aunt still in the drive way)
82 Diesel westy Vanagon. (Saw every state and national park west of indiana in one summer in this thing and still have no idea how because it's the slowest thing on the planet.)
73 campmobile vw bus. (rebuilt T4 engine, and the body is shot...project)
71 Porche 914 (project/parts car)
65 Vw Beetle (drove for a summer, then the brakes needed work, started driving the civic)
72 standard beetle (project)
74 standard beetle (project)
66 beetle (sold)
