Moved to another country a couple years ago and left my red 1990 325i back home. I miss the little car that I've had since 1998 when I was 18 years old.

Max. A classic. A BMW masterpiece! We all have a 'soft spot' for the E30 3 Series. Where i live there is [like below] a dolphin grey in A1 condition. Still turns heads. This BMW must have started so many on their BMW journey. Thank you for bringing this amazing classic to the channel.

Watching this from South Africa 🇿🇦 and of course we had the best versions the 325is 2.7L that made 210hp evo 2 and the evolution 1 with aluminium body parts and-had 197hp, both had the M3 suspension . That to us was a the Shadowline produced from 1989 to 1990. More so the IS replaced the 333i which had a M30b32 engine and the Mtech 1 body kit produced in 1986 to 1988. Both the 333i and IS were South African M3s since we didn’t get any.

I was also about 8 years when the E92 came out. Had an opportunity to drive up to Pretoria from Johannesburg South in South Africa, a roughly 80km drive. He drove the 325 version of the E92, at that moment that's when I realised that I am a die hard BMW fanboy. That thing impressed me in every angle, from its handling to the pure pulling power of the engine. It was just sheer driving pleasure, even though I was in the passenger seat...

This was my dream car when I started driving 20yrs ago, I never got one, but I’ve had my 2003 e46 330ci sport (manual) in gun metal grey for over 12yrs now, and enjoy it as much as the first day I got it.

My dad had an E30 320i back in the 80s, I was more of an E36 kid because that model was new when I turned 13, so that´s the generation I was most conscious and enthusiastic about going forward. But the E30, especially that frontal area is so quintessential BMW for me, that it´s hard to ignore and still one of my facvorite 3-series designs. Also the car´s proportions had a clear connection to the sports saloon revolution that came with the likes of BMW 02 and Alfa Guilia.

Had a 171 BHP prefacelift with chrome bumpers and higher comp ratio head at 9.7 to 1 , for 26 years! loved it, later 88 on were 8.8 to 1 comp ratios giving 168 BHP, all lovely cars, great video, thankyou, :-)

I had a mildly tuned 1989 Alpine White 325i 4 door back in the day. It performed so wellI and was such a joy to drive. I will eventually own one again weather its a cabriolet or coupe. They are really beautiful cars inside and out.

Watching this video makes me want to fix up my mum’s ‘89 E30 325i also in red with beige interior in our garage 🥹🥹

My 89 325i Cabrio with 5spd manual is my daily drive on the winding roads of upcountry Maui. It’s being repainted original glacier Blue Metallic right now. I recovered the seats with a great kit and new original dark blue canvas top that I found on EBay. Great car great drive. Cheers

My dad had an E30 touring when i was growing up. Im 23 now and going to start my driving lessons soon, and I cannot wait for the day when I can afford one of these. Without question my all time favourite car. Give me one of these over a bugatti or lambo anyway. Great review ❤
I'm from a place called lincoln in the UK and i've only ever seen one other good example of an E30 so they're definitely rarer then people realise. You definitely don't see them everyday.

just bought a 91 325i cabriolet and its been a dream. a real head turner

[jamesccleaver]

Had an ‘89 dolphin grey 325i Sport Max. Legendary car!!!!

[andrewpowers]

Nice to see a clean example, too many have been ruined over the years, hence the price for clean examples. Great review 👍

I love cars from the early 60s up to early 2000s. My mother in law jad a e30 325i and it never got out of 3rd gear but what a glorious symphony those sixes played. Drive a e46 330ci m sport in concourse condition for weekends and holidays..had it nine years and will never let it go.

5:17 back then cup holders were add in options. My e30 318is had on that slid out from the center armrest

[themegaabe]

cup holder in the e30 is between the seat and the center console ;) works goods :D

[martinboulden]

I had one new for three years and loved every second !

[jpadicecoffee]

Good video. Agreed it is kind of a generation thing for me, grew up with an E46 coupe and have been driving one for about 22 years as my daily driver. No mechanic problems that couldn't be fixed at reasonable cost.

A+ review That is why or should I say there is no way I would get rid of my 1987 325IS coupe with a five speed gearbox ..recently had it sprayed to its original color and my girl she’s a beauty !
