I was looking at a 85 bmw e30 the 2 door other day thought about getting one some day. Does anyone know how they fair in crash tests compared to my volvo 240?

we put ours backwards into a concrete wall at 60mph at the track....and then it managed to drive another 2 laps before pulling into the pits.

that's all I got, lol. I'd say google is your friend.

Don't know anything about old Volvos but the e30 was pretty good for electrical. You will get annoying little things like the power window switches not working well, but normally nothing that's going to sideline the car.
