call me biased, but i don't see what the deal is. if the e30 has 6 cylinder engine, then the starter location hasn't changed to many years later. i've replaced starters on few 6 cylinder e36 and e34 cars. the first one was very fun, however the rest was much easier because i knew the best way to do it. I always did it from the bottom and it took about 2 hours. 2 bolts on the mounts and two nuts on the solenoid. Replacing one on an X3 was more fun because i had to remove the manifold, but then it was easy.
2 hours to R&R a starter? On our B-series Honda we can do it in 15 minutes!
But ... E30 alternator = 15 minutes, B Series Honda = 2 hours.
Hondas are not without their "this is a pain in the ass" moments, but certainly fewer!
(Don't get me started on the 2 hours it took to replace a side marker lamp on my wife's Cadillac SRX....)
