Very cool, Reno. I always liked these. Probably for similar reasons to the 944.. the fat puckered 80s fenders. 
Driving position is certainly very different than a 944 but that's also one of the things I like about the older Bimmers... visibility is awesome. In an E30 you can see all 4 corners of the car (corners, literally, thanks to the box shape) from the driver's seat. IMO it makes "placing" the car very easy.
I used to have an E21 320is (factory Recaros, BBS wheels)... slow as hell (pretty sure a tired 944 N/A would run away from it) but WAY fun to drive.
