The South African market, due to the embargos of the time, got two very special South African only E30 models, the 333i and the 325is (EVO I & EVO II), the latter being developed for the local Touring Car series where it battled the very quick Opel Kadett GSi "Superboss", some of the most exciting racing i`ve ever seen. The 333i was developed due to the E30 M3 not being available to the market, that car today is highly sought after by collectors.

I did ponder for rather too long about whether to talk about the 333i. But without even going into any depth about other engines than the M3 and 325i, I thought it wasn’t worth the added depth. Would love to experience one someday.

My dad had a 1990 325i. When I was 14 it was the first car I ever sat in the driver's seat of. He taught me the basics of driving in the empty car park of a closed down mill close to where we lived. That was in 1998. I've had a few cars over the years (Fiesta, Saxo, Golf GTI, Civic Type R) but I always wanted a proper 6 cylinder BMW. No other cars I drove came close to the way that 325i felt, even at the low speeds I drove it at when I was 14 /15. My dad died in 2020, just 1 year before I finally got my own BMW. I know the new ones are not the same as the old ones but I wish he was still here so I could have given him a go in my M140i. Great cars.

Nice video, 100% agree these older designs are so much more stylish than the modern weird designed modern stuff.

From direct experience in period, I can confirm a 325i was no match for a Marina 1700L. BMW failed to give trouble starting in cold and damp weather, lacked 1920s gearbox noises, had no trunnions or lever arm dampers, didn't set up wild steering oscillations at motorway speeds and its turbine smooth power pack was surely no match for BL's mighty single overhead cam O Series. And the paint didn't fall off BMWs either.

What a novel concept

I owned an E 30 back in the 90's when I lived in Madrid. I became a bit obsessed with finding a really good one and I searched for a couple of months scouring the local papers until I eventually found a low mileage maroon one in near perfect condition. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned and a real joy to drive. I took it all over Spain and Portugal and on those open, straight empty roads of Iberia its GT qualities really came into their own. There was nothing about I didn't like, it was supremely comfortable, it handled well and I loved the engine and gearbox. I still miss that car and if I followed my heart I'd get one again to drive around the empty roads of west Wales where I now live. I have a Saab 95 wagon now which I love (I'd love to see a Twin Cam video on that) but there was something about that BMW that was really special and unforgettable. Another great video from Twin Cam!!

Great era of BMW the E30 3 Series of the 1980's😎😎😎😎music that engine note

The 325i Sport on launch in 1987 cost £16,685 compared to £17,840 of a 325i Convertible and £14218 of a standard 325i.The 4wd 325iX was £18,345. The E30's M20 engine took very little from the E21 unit - same basic design but everything was different. Lighter block, pistons and crank, bigger inlet ports, a revised cam and LE Jetronic replacing K Jet (323i) and the Solex 4A1 DVG carb (320)

Ed, Love your enthusiasm for the baby Bavarian. Some petrolheads came of age when BMW were identified as a low volume, high end, ultimate driving machine car maker, and owning (as opposed to renting/leasing), such a car was something exceptional and distinctive. Became a BMW addict in 1981 with an E21 323i Alpina C1, until 1988 when it was changed for the E30 M3 Evo II. Ed, if after driving this 325i, you must in the future, create a video on the E30 M3.

My all time favorite Bimmer - brings back memories of their advertising slogan back then, The Ultimate Driving Machine.

I have not had much time to watch anything on KZread of late. It is a joy to catch up with this channel and what a video, about a car marque that I have a passion for and about one of their key models. As well presented as ever, I'd say you've even gone up a notch. Great stuff.

You can get an E30 325i in Australia for under 5k still.

I had a 1985 model 318i. Probably the best everyday driver I ever owned, and so kept it till 1996. I ordered an E30 325i Sport like the one shown in the video - dynamically a good step forard, but for various resons cancelled the order and bought a 911 instead. Overall, I should have stuck with the 325i...

At this point, BMW has been away from the days of cars like the E30 for longer than they held those design ideals.

Ed Great, and getting better…. I bought a year old E30 two door poverty spec model in 1991. As a 29 year old, t’was my pride and joy! I went on to own a number of new successor BMWs (all delivered on August 1st), but my E30 was always my favourite .

This is one of my all time favourites. My neighbour, who owned a "computer company" bought a brand new burgundy metallic 2 door 320i in 1983. With the bottle cap alloys and the small lip on the boot and brown tinted windows. It was amazing! Personally I would love an early E30 323i with the chrome bumpers and the smaller front spoiler. But until that happens I have a German and Dutch version of the brochure as a substitute 😅

Omg watching my youth, seeing my father’s 325i color Diamantschwarz and honey rate spiked BBS alloys!!! The looks and sound were and still are cool.

I loved my straight six engine 265 from factory, awesome sound and pulling power 😊

This takes me back. I was lucky enough to get a new white 325i 2 door company car in August '87. Was a lovelt fast and smooth car, but expensive! From memory the only standard bits were ABS and PAS, everything else was a cost extra. Mine just had the BMW alloys added, but even then it was £20K on the road, which was alot of money back then. Had fun driving it and a fond memory.

What happened to BMW styling???? The cars of the 60's, 70's and 80's "maybe a little of the 90's" were great cars being both easy to maintain and easy on the eye.

Your videos really are getting good! Superbly professional, great to watch and very interesting. Back when I lived in South Africa, we didn’t get the E30 M3. Instead, we got something unique to BMW South Africa - the BMW 333i (with an engine derived from the 7-series).

I was never a fan of this generation of 3 series. as you point out, they were an inbetweener size wise and were kind of exotic here in the Solent region of England. however, they were incredibly well built and a huge step up in quality from the usual mass market producers. your Ford analogy is spot on. from the Cortina MK1 to the MK4 they were the fashion statement of the day and that was a key reason why they sold so well; the MK5 being an exception as it was a better looking evolution of the bland MK4 styling.

Gorgeous and yes, as a BMW 6 cylinder driver (albeit a F22 version), I couldn’t agree more that there’s nothing like a six to drive behind. I’m a total fan too! Great stuff Ed. It’s a shame BMW seem to have diversified and diluted their range to the extent they have and the styling of many of their latest models isn’t to my taste, great cars though I’m sure many of them remain. Still, I’m a car fan and at the end of the day a company has to remain profitable. Often those two qualities are, sadly, mutually exclusive. Happy Easter.

Lusted after one of these for a long time. I could have afforded one when my fiesta went bang, but I took my parent’s offer of my Dad’s Octavia VRS TDi, which was a lovely car, and suited what I needed at the time and for most of the time I owned it, but part of me wished I went with the E30. Wouldn’t swap my E39 for one, not unless something had gone catastrophically wrong with my car and it was uneconomical to repair.

Great video Ed. Have nevet driven an E30 but they do look so cool. I always wanted a BMW, more seci specifically an M3 but sadly the E30 M3 is megga money and only available in LHD form so my initial intention was to get an E46 M3. Unfortuntely I live in an Outer London suburb and owning an E46 M3 became an expensive proposition with the ULEZ expansion last August even though I was not planning to use the E46 as a daily driver. Ended up getting a manual E92 M3, a car which is not perfect by that screaming V8 really is something else and very happy with it so far despite the terrible MPG figures and ruinous road tax.

I now own a completely rebuilt 89 325is with a Stromung cat back. Sounds fantastic. Ironically, while the M20 engines made them so successful, from personal experience, the best non-race engine fitted to the platform from the factory was the DOHC M42 with hydraulic lifters. The lighter, much revv happier and fuel efficient motor with non-distributor ignition was just the better fit for this chassis. The M20s revv like molasses, need frequent valve adjustments, belt- and distributor services and are guzzlers. The 2.5 also didn't actually feels much faster. By 1990, the M20 had been in use for 13 years and at least the Cabriolets should have gotten the M50 (DOHC) for their final years which was such a big improvement in the E34 power and revving wise. I will S54 swap my car that already has significant suspension upgrades and a big brake kit but will keep the VIN matching engine.

If that engine is running out of power above 5000rom, it might need a new cam, I don’t remember them being like that, mind you it’s been 27 years since I drove a 325iS

Body roll with M-Technic suspension???

Perhaps it is just the recording, but it sounds a bit parpy, like there is a small leak, and some backpressure because of baffle or wadding degradation. Very fixable though, it will be interesting to see how much this fetches. I wonder how much a Porsche 944 turbo (2.5 but 4-pot) was back then.

A few weeks later, I went outside one morning, and found that the rear gas shock absorbers had collapsed. I only owned the car for about a year, before I moved it on for a Porsche 911 SC. My general view of the E30 , in retrospect, is that the engine was wonderful. That 6 cylinder thrum. Plenty enough power for me, and that untamed rear end that BMW ought to have sorted from the previous incarnation of the 3 series. The rest of the car? I refer to the typical German person's view of cars...., Mercedes ?.... they're just the taxis, and BMW's... just cars, what's remarkable about them ?.
