MotorWeek | Retro Review: '88 BMW E30 325ix

Lots more to go

[artaylor]

When comparing this car to modern offerings from BMW, they seem like two different companies, and it has not been a change for the better.

Also, at 3:16, "That's where the battery lives!". Love it!

I remember being a kid, seeing everybody with skis and ski rack on these cars. Amazing times to be alive. Great memories.

Long live 1988. It was a great time to be alive.

Damn, that engine sounded really good. I also have to say I really like the understated looks more and more as time goes on.

@2:48 Dude was buggin out when he got in the backseat like he was chowdered out on coke. Hey, I guess it was the 80s..

I've pulled stumps and pulled mustangs out of ditches; and plenty of trucks have pulled me out when I bury it. 280, 000 miles and still pissing off everybody. Jeeps dont understand

[MrCarguy]

0:40 "German manufacturers who hate gimmicks" things have changed A LOT since the 80's

The precursor of X-Drive!

A family friend of mine had this back in 1988. He is the reason that I got hooked to BMWs!

My grandma has one when I was a little kid. This car made me a bimmerhead haha. Now I own a e36 for several years.

My daily driver is an 87 325is with 110, 000 miles. It's just warming up!

[BluePurpleRed]

Oh man, it's so funny watching these cars when they were brand new. Feels like yesterday.

[etxkevin]

This is probably my fav body style of all time. It just looks like a BMW.

[robo]

Lovely colour combo. I’d change my X5 for this gem brand new

[ryansrides]

Awesome video motor week, love the red interior!! I love seeing all these classic cars in action!

[jones]

If only BMW made anything this appealing today. But they do not.

[johnjones]

Legendary. I never appreciated the e30 when they were new but they were incredible machines.

My '89 325iX was a lemon. Replacing the transfer case is costly on these cars. The wire harness to the computer was bad making the car run it had a mind of its own. Took BMW a while to figure that one out. I do miss my 325e though. I didn't know how they did it, making a small car drive like a big car. I hardly felt a thing while driving.

[myducati]

89ft stop from 60mph? That's insane!

[mrpistonrecaro]

Such a beautiful car till this day. Love ❤️ e30’s
