Maybe take some pictures away from a tree because you have a pretty neat car there, friend.

Yep that seals it. 90s cars in general are pretty much my favorite - from E34s to Silvias and Supras.. I don't know why, but there's just something about them that make me lust after them hahaha. :V <could be because I'm from the 90s>

Fairly simple styling without the hard geometric lines of 80s cars and the bloated tumors that are post-2000 cars.

Low waistlines of the car are also a huge plus. Driving in a lowered E36 makes you feel tiny compared to what else is on the road.

I want that tree shadow paint job so bad. It looks like a thermochromic job.

Not really sure, it probably just looked like a good target for some dumbass kids. The front bumper will need repainted but it's covered under comprehensive so there's no deductible.

So, this is probably going to sound creepy. Are you located in Waukesha? If so, nice E30, I'm insanely jealous of it.

I know egg can be nasty to paint finishes but can't you just wash it / buff the finish?

Nope, Madison area. Though these pictures are at my parents up near the twin city's.

I got pretty lucky with the e30 find a few years back, it was insanely clean when I bought it. Guess it had been a California car most it's life.

The chemical damage isn't that big of an issue if you wash it off immediately.

The shell creates a ton of scratches as it breaks though.

I wish that was the case, but there are some gouges and some paint missing where it initially hit the bumper.

Edit: At least it's doing better than my last car at 4 months.

I live in Madison and I had a decent condition bronzit 325is coupe for a long time. I'm pretty sure I've seen that car around. My favorite E30 around here is an immaculate 1987 325is owned by a middle aged woman who is the original owner.

In high school I drove my dads 1989 325i bronzit around, I love that colour despite the hate it gets. My red 325is is also a 1987 but I am not a middle aged woman nor the original owner.

Here's a few more of my Maxima. I've had it over a month now. Except for the fuel mileage, I LOVE this car. Ride quality is unbelievably good. I've had passengers compliment me on the level of luxury/refinement compared to my old Mazda6.

After Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax and 'Quik Detailer'

Trunk is enourmous and the access is super easy, though I wouldn't mind a rubber strip on top of the bumper.

The 'floating' Nissan dash is seriously cool. The cockpit seems huge and is really well laid-out. Very impressive.

Stock VQ engine. Not much that can be done with it unfortunately, with the 6.5 gen CVT trans. Considering an aftermarket drop-in air filter but I don't want a ton of drone.

And your faithful driver/photographer:

My only plans currently are to plasti-dip the grille (keep the chrome Nissan badge) and black out the chrome strips on the roof.

It's white with fake tan on the outside, and soft and red on the inside. Upgrade the horn - I seem to recall Cadillac put some monster blatters into a few models, and if so then a swap should be pretty easy from one GM engine bay to another - and call it "Honkey".

My 1998 Civic Type-R ek9:

Took a while for one in this condition to crop up but the wait was worth it... I have put 15 inch wheels back on with 55 profile tyres which is standard and for a Type-R it is very comfortable on the road and is just a joy to drive around.
