Hi,

I dont use my F31 no longer and i was thinking of buying a E30 for fun and also it keeps its value.
But i have a family with a dog, so I don’t know if it will be a good fit for driving on sundays and on holidays?

We are with 4 persons and a medium size dog.

Are there any people out here who does use a E30 with a family who can help me out on this?

Great thx in advance!
If i mis posted this thread pleas dont be angry because i didn’t find a place to post this.

Thx a lot!

E30's served as family cars for 15 years but as size of people have grown the size of cars have grown as well. I used mine for a few years and the kids had trouble with the back seat floorboards being so small. They also do not have the modern safety features of a modern cars.

I still have my E30 M3 but I use that by myself or with my gal so it's not cramped feeling to us, but when I get back in my e91 I sure notice the size difference.

Thx for the advice.
Its such a shame…
I love the car but it needs to stay practical as well.
Any advice on older bmw’s that are good for me?

I'd look at an E46 or an E39, maybe even an E90. I have an E30, I only drive it about 500 miles per year. I did daily drive it when I was in college, squeezing people in the back of those cars is a BIG ask. They're very small especially by today's standards.

I drove a E91 for over 4years.
It was a great pleasure to drive it, nice handling.
But i find it a bit to modern…
