I hope you enjoy the E30 M3. I've had several including a perfect one with 46,000 miles on it and between worrying about it and the power/fun of 1M. I sold them all. NO 25+ year old car can stand toe to toe with a current car like 1M.
I know this will bring me tons of hate but I am a driver, not a collector. But you certainly have two of the best! Enjoy!

Welcome to the club! I have the same combo having owned the M3 since '06. This past summer after racing our e30 325i in chumpcar I realized how bad the seating position was in my car so I made two mods to rectify it. 1) Lowered the rake of the steering wheel by 1" and 2) Replaced my evo steering wheel with a OMP Corsica wheel. I'm 6'2" with go-go gadget legs so always push the seat to it's furthest back position. This made the wheel feel so far away and too high like I was driving a bus. With the mods it's now a similar feel to the 1M but with a lower seat (better).
The e30 M3 is one of those unicorn cars that people don't realize how good they are until they have had the opportunity to drive it on some twisties in anger. More enjoyable than the 1M in said situation. Anyone that comes away unimpressed probably doesn't understand what "feel" is supposed to feel like ![]() Congrats and enjoy, I just put both away for the winter. Going to be another long winter cheers Amit
