Throw together an LCI 328i with sports pack, HIDs, Cold Weather, comfort access plus the 3 stage intake you have a pretty great car that I might just prefer to an E30. If I'm going to use it every day, then it's E90 no question.
Don't get me wrong I do love me some 318is in red, too.

My 330i weighs *700lbs* more than my E30, which isn't even an especially light version, and the 330i 6mt is one of the lightest versions of the E90 (outside of the 4 cyl cars we didn't get). That's quite a bit more than a 'few hundred' pounds heavier.
I stand by my comments, I don't think any version of the E9x outside of the M3 or 335is will ever be worth anything. Maybe the RWD E91/6mt has potential too. But an AWD 335i with automatic trans and idrive? Forget it. As soon as one major thing breaks, the 3rd or 4th or 5th owner is going to send it to the recycler to be crushed..
I like the N/A cars too, but they are too overshadowed by the turbo cars; most people only care about bench racing than actual driving.
