That wouldn't explain #7.

Look at their prices on Craigslist—definitely unloved. I see CLEAN E34s go for under $3k all the time, compared to $6k+ for a comparable e30.

I'm saying that the M42 (as found in the 318i in the video) is a cool engine, but I prefer my E30s with an M20.

The E30 is easy to work on because, despite the fact that it's a small car, it has a huge engine bay.

Ugly, but totally compelling.

20k miles would indicate to me that he is absolutely terrible at driving stick.

I've gotten a lot of replies to this comment, but this has to be the dumbest. How does taking a bus solve the problem? Is it more polite to subject bus passengers to crying babies than plane passengers?

I'm not a parent and I generally hate kids, but—what if you have kids and need to travel at that time?

I had a Camry with the same 3VZ-FE engine. Most unreliable car I've ever owned. I think I spent more on maintenance for that garbage than I ever spent on my E36 M3 (which had MORE miles on it).

By accidentally hitting them with your car while doing something completely legal?

Whoa, I never knew Mansory was Canadian.

It actually appears to have E36 M3-style twist skirts, which look kinda gross on E30s. Regardless, it was an E30 they almost destroyed, which would still be sad.

Not an M3. Not even a coupe.

Also true for cars sold in Mexico. Back when I lived in San Diego, I used to see all sorts of Mexican-market cars on the road with Baja California plates.

Now do it from Portland MAINE.

Just kidding, this one's completely justified.

Did you just get owned by autocorrect?

Guys...I love the 620. Especially the short bed, single cabs. But let's not pretend that they're super rare, or that most of them aren't being abused much worse than this one.

The question is: Can he rock some mink boots in the summertime, like will.i.am?

Do you have a source for this? Everything I've ever heard/read says that the US Elise always had the 2ZZ-FE.
