Cool Estates

Tourings, Avants, Estates, Shooting Brakes – call ‘em what you want, I think they’re very cool.

I saw the tidiest BMW E30 316i Touring ever, on a 1994 reg, this morning on the motorway around Limerick. In navy. Absolutely mint. Reminded me of how classy these cars look. Prettiest BMW convertible 4 seater made in recent times (and probably by any manufacturer)- E30. Tidiest coupe – E30. Classiest estate – E30. Most purposeful saloon – E34. Ah well, 3 out of 4 isn’t bad. Saw an extremely tidy E30 318iS yesterday as well. Very rare in original condition, reminded me of my one. All these sightings of tidy E30′s – is someone trying to tell me something. Sadly they never did a sub 2 ltr. turbo diesel.
