Being a car enthusiast is much bigger than simply loving a material object.

The E30 is one of the most iconic cars of the last three decades and cemented BMW as the perfect choice for a compact, rear-wheel-drive, performance coupe.

This is, of course, thanks to a convertible top littered with pinholes and barely sealed around the windows. Nothing is [...]
Okay, I promise, the E30 content is going to stop in the next few days. Right now, I am still dug in deep working on fully preparing my 1988 E30 cabriolet for some road trips that will take me all across the East Coast this summer. You can read all about what broke, what I [...]
