Regular Car Reviews: 1991 BMW E30 318i

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The BMW E30 is the prerequisite to "being a car guy" even more than the Mazda Miata MX5.
The M42 engine was not put into E30 sedans until 1991, although it did exist in E30 318is coupes. It was in every E36, so in a lot of ways my E30 is sort of unique.
This car is one of the few E30s to not have a sunroof. The point is most people weren't as cheap as the original owner who bought this car in 1991. In fact, This E30 only has one optional extra: a digital clock/temp gauge. That might have been standard in 1991. I'm not sure but it wasn't at the start of the E30. It is the cheapest E30 you could buy in 1991. The fact that it doesn't have a sunroof is sort of a subculture thing; I've heard them referred to as "slick tops".
This E30 is untouched in terms of performance; as slow as BMW wanted it to be. Lots of E30s are slammed or track-day focused, but mine is stock as a rock. Still great to drive.
Ask any E30 owner, maintenance is expensive and sucks. In a lot of ways, owning an E30 is like dating a super-expensive high-maintenance MILF who cheats on you and sometimes abuses you, but whom you live anyway.

    I once drove an E30 (325) with a million miles on it. It was basically stuck on a rolling road for years and used as a test car for Mobil 1. It still ran totally sweet and had an immaculate interior as basically it had never actually been driven by a person. Mobil 1 loaned it out as a demo to show how good their oil was, not sure how that was going to be a great demo but all I heard was 'Would you like an E30 for a week?' YES. Hilariously the E30 had a low oil light up by the rear view mirror. I assumed it was just a broken sensor but it turned out to be correct and an oil company had given me a car with no oil.

    From working on my e28 (m20), if I learned anything about old BMWs, if there is any problem, it's an air leak. That sums up the whole experience. They are pretty simple cars, but their fuel to air ratio is very strict and can easily get thrown off.

    Also climbing on the cam brought back memories of the old DOHC VTEC Hondas. The power band was like "Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, still nothing, nothing, nothing, (VTEC) Oh damn, now it's finally making some pow-REV LIMITER".

    My parents (yes, my parents) have an RSX type-S, so our experience is rather different. The "oh damn" part is really awesome. But honestly, where can you do those high revs without attracting a lot of unwanted attention? My own preference is something more linear. Turbos are thrilling in the same way but kind of bug me the same way too.

    You nailed it!!! As a die hard E30 fan I laught so hard, it's like an echo of the BMW forums. Only one small detail you didn't get right. E30s DOES climb onto the cam especially the E30 325 with the M20 B25 engine. It kicks around 4k, but sure, not as "bad" as Honda VTECs. The e30 you drove with the DOHC M42 is probably the only engine that doesn't have a slight cam climb.

    I find it's not just with RCR, but it's a phenomenon I've heard with almost every video content creator I've ever watched for a long time. Watch an early video from either Zero Punctuation or GManLives, and then watch their newest videos, the presentation of their voice changes, often subtly getting higher pitched and more animated as time goes by. My guess is that people settle into their "video voice" over time as they get more comfortable delivering lines.

    Crills2000 I never learned the exact cause, but I know it started with the electrical system. Worst of all, I feel the fact it became a total loss was my fault. I was driving into work and was almost there when all of a sudden there was a weird drop in power. I was close enough that I was able to drive in without any real problems and when I got there I figured I would worry about it later. I really should have at least checked the engine temperature but I was in too much of a rush. A few minutes later, some one came in and said there was a car on fire in the parking lot and I immediately knew it was me. Thankfully, the fire department was able to put the fire out before the fire could get out of the engine bay or spread to other cars, but to do so they had to pry open the hood. All things considered, she probably could have been fixed but the costs would have far exceeded the value of the car at the time and I wasn't exactly flush with cash at the time. One of the firefighters was also an E30 fan so he knew my pain. So, yeah, that was a pretty crappy day.

    Oh BTW, the aerodynamics of the E30, relative to many modern cars isn't bad either, with a drag coefficient averaging out around 0.35, which is still pretty respectable these days. Something else that helps is that it's frontal area is relatively small versus some newer cars, at around 21 square feet. In my Eta, I've averaged 7.7L/100 km, over 130k km of driving. And how does an E30 feel at high speed? Amazing. Smooth as butter. Nuff said.

    I topped my 1991 e30 318is at 125mph in 2005, the areo is alright. The biggest thing is fixing all the vacuum leaks on the engines especially if they are over 150,000 miles. It felt like the future compared to my dad's 1975 2002.

    I had a 1987 318i in metallic grey with chrome bumper. It was an amazing car, I really miss it. The gearbox was so sweet, acceleration was fast enough for me, so linear, could sit at 100mph forever and the handling was amazing. I bought it in France as a student and drove it over the Pyrenees to Spain several times, normally with someone else paying the petrol so they could go to the duty free in Andorra. Great times.

    From fall 2003 to winter 2006 when I lived in Germany the E30 was essentially the community issue car...almost every broke private how bought a hooptie bought an E30. Most were 320s with the 2L I6 some were 325s with the 2.5L a few were 316s or 318s with I4s. All were manuals and most were 2 doors. I guess I never realized how special it was to have access to so many $500-$2,000 cars that seem to be so Brocoveted now in the US...

    My fav is the 318 iC (cabriolet). So happy it only was available with manual transmission! The chain driven dohc engine competes with the Alfa Romeo 2 litre dohc invented in the 1950's. Just wish Bmw could have put in the hemi head that Alfa used to increase hp a little more and use four point spark plugs to fire it up hotter and better too.
