Race track in Germany modeled on the roads surrounding Canberra.
Opened in 1927, it is rumoured that Hitler commissioned the 20.81km track due to BMW, Porsche and Mercedes conducting all their high-speed testing at the 'Berra as it's affectionately known. When discovering this, Hitler annexed Austria, thinking that Canberra was in Austria, not Australia, then subsequently invaded Poland out of sheer spite.
As a gesture of goodwill, BMW hold a annual race in honour of Sir Arthur Canberra in which only BMW E24s are allowed to participate.

Undeniably the best ever car built by BMW. This coupe has a proven racing pedigree, having won at Bathurst, NSW, against the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon.
Owners are typically intelligent people with a unique but admired sense of style.
Most E30 owners aspire to owning one one day as these are the true cult car, however their dreams are usually unfulfilled.
Looks best in zinnoberrot and "moneybags green".

Poor E30 owner: Hey, I just saw an E24!
Audi owner: OMG really? I've always wanted one, in zinnoberrot!

Ideally a 2 door BMW E30, although any E30 is potentially a cult car - excluding the 325e of course.
Owners are often one-eyed, opinionated and usually too poor to own a newer car. Secretly they wish they own a Mercedes, Audi or a BMW 6 series.

Person 1: maaate did you see that E30?
Person 2: yeah, it was a 318is - they're a cult car, you know!
