I love the E30. I owned an E30. But it was a rattletrap and required constant attention to keep running, and that was in 1996.
The E30 is fine for a project or a toy car, but not as a daily driver.

I drive my E30 318is daily. 30mpg, bitchessss! And yes it requires constant attention, because the previous owner did nothing to it and now I have to do it all, but it is what it is.

E30's are cheap as $#!t to fix. M3 would be expensive on the bodywork side, sure, but parts are super-cheap. It definitely helps to buy one that's all up-to-date, though.
