1988 BMW E30 320i - walkaround and POV drive

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

A walkaround and short drive with my BMW 3 Series. The car is completely original and equipped with only a few factory options like front fog lights, a manual sunroof and 15 inch alloy wheels. The colour is Mineral Blue (code 231), a pretty rare and (in my opinion) gorgeous colour for this generation of the 3 Series.
The 320i had the smallest six-cylinder available in the E30. It sounds great and feels very ´buttery´, although it lacks the impressive power of the larger 325i, especially at lower revs. But it does have a nice party trick which you may be able to notice in the video: at around 4000 rpm it gains strength pretty abruptly, almost like it has a variable valve timing of some sort - which of course it doesn´t. It surely makes it rewarding to explore those higher revs every once in a while...

    Inmiddels heb ik deze BMW sinds een half jaartje in mijn bezit, ik heb er een projectje van gemaak, interieur, carrosserie en motorruimte zijn inmiddels helemaal clean, ben nu met de ophanging en bodem bezig, ik probeer hem "bijna" fabrieksnieuw te maken.😊

About your question, I have owned the car for about a year now and never had to do any major work on it, and as far as I can see from the old bills that came with the car, neither have the previous owners. Only thing is that not all the paint is original, so there may have been some rust repairs done at some point. But I think that´s it.

    No, there is no light or anything like that - in fact I don´t know if any manually shifted car has such a feature. In the case of the E30 you feel a very obvious spring pressure when moving the shifter all the way to the left in order to engage reverse, so there is never really any room for doubt.

A lot of money, but the car had less than 100.000 (documented) kilometers on the clock at that moment, and was (and still is) in fantastic shape. You can definitely find a nice one with a bit more kms/miles for less I´d say.

    Hi Miguel, if you don´t mind I´ll answer in English (as you can tell from the license plate I live in Belgium, but I am Dutch. So my French is not great...). The BMW E30 is from a time when catalytic converters were not omnipresent yet. My 1988 car has one, but I think earlier examples don´t, or maybe they were an equipment option that you had to pay extra for, I´m not sure. Anyway, whether or not cars are allowed to be used in certain areas generally does not depend strictly on the presence of a catalytic converter, but usually on what Euro classification the car has. Or even simply on what year the car is from. At least that is my experience. I know that for example in Spain, gasoline cars that were built before 2001 are not allowed in certain areas. And in Wallonia pretty soon only cars with Euro 4 or better will be allowed. So long story short, I would first decide on where you want to be able to use the car, then check the regulations for that area, and then decide which car to get. Having said that, a BMW E30 is VERY recomendable ;-)
