Peak BMW design

Had an M-Technic 320i convertible. All factory options, loved it. Btw the 320i is the smoothest of all the E30 sixes.

@5:10 Oh my! It all got a bit real for a moment there. 😲😂

Loved my touring 👌🏻

Great video, well presented thanks for posting!!!

Thanks for watching! 😁

Lovely car 👍

Had a e30 325i Cab from new. Manual box was accompanied by a very heavy clutch, which was uncomfortable in town. Cylinder head went at 23k miles. In the wet or icey conditions, it was a mare as the back used to break away. Went ok in a straight line and stopped

Tbh , I'd have another one today, but I'd go auto rather than manual. It was and still is a good looking car, especially with the roof down.

You forgot a few (rarer) engines: 325e detuned 2,7l six cylinder for torque amd economy The 2,4l Diesel M21 six cylinder My brother had an '88 chrome bumper 325i here in Germany in the late 90's-00's and suffered from the cracked head. Was sadly not economical to repair as rust was already rearing it's ugly head too. Was comfortable and fun to drive though even on it's lowered suspension and 16" 225s 😃

@@yeoldegamer5112 Hey, no problem. That 2.7 was available in the e28 5 series in the UK, but never in the e30. Also it wasn't mentioned about the S14 M3 variant, which was available from around 86 onwards.

Ooh great choice!

Forget the smaller engines altogether get a 325i or 328i. BMWs need a nice creamy inline 6 for the ultimate driving experience.

The four-pots have a certain charm, but there's no denying the appeal of a six!

@@ClassicsWorldUK in the UK I can sort of understand the appeal of a 4 pot. However I am Australian & therefore bigger is always better. BMWs are the ultimate driving machine they are considered a luxury high end brand down here & a 4 pot just doesn’t do it justice.

Where is Joe?!?!

They're easily maintained compared to a lot of other European cars of the 80s!

Please tell more about your bad experience with e30s. I’ve owned my 325i for 2 years and It’s been brilliant. If you’re expecting to buy one and treat it like a brand new fiesta then sooner or later it’ll disappoint you. Buy a good one, that’s solid in all the right places (or budget for repairs) and keep on top of basic maintenance and you’ll struggle to find a more usable classic car.
