I'd take a grey 2-door E30 over either of your volvos.


Did he have an "i" or an "is" (kinda rare and only brought over for a couple of years) There is a great deal of difference. What Paul had was an "is". A DOHC 1.8 M42 engine in a 2600lb car. Not a traight line beast, but probably much more thrilling to drive than 3500lb+ Volvo.

I've driven them, my stepmother also had an 88 325is back in 92 and did not impress me one bit, but then again I drove an 88 Saleen at the time. I like twisties as well, and have run against them @ Roebling Road on some track days and it was an all out rape by me. To each his own I guess, i'd much rather my Volvos over an E30.
