Yes it does seem that the Sport is getting rare or at least one in good condition see below the number of Sports built.
     Manual       Auto
1986   352    30
1987 1320    106
1988   208    29
1989 1236    199
1990 812     110

Total of 4038 take all the cars written of etc so its quite a rare car

David,

There are a good few nice examples, including Sports to be found locally. Hopefully we can organise a mini-meet up on the hill at Micks Burgers during the summer.

We did one last year and had a nice selection of cars, we then had a convoy drive down to the Bosham pub just outside of Bosham.

I am locallish being out the other side of Emsworth and also am involved with Etechmotorsport (Independant BMW) down in Havant.

Not that many E30's left up here, I've seen 2 or 3 sports knocking about Aberdeen and there are 3 convertibles in the car park at work, one of which is a motorsport.

 Excellent M3 project big pimpin, Not many e30 M3 models in this area in fact have not seen any this year, but there are a couple of G reg 325i tourings about and this model of e30 seems to be wearing better than the saloons and doesn't seem to have the rust problems either.
