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
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.
@@ClassicsWorldUKNor the rare four cyl. S14B20 320 iS (Italy&Portugal only) with 192 HP, available in either 2 or 4 door versions. Or the even rarer South African M30B32 333i (194 HP)-..🙂
@@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.

Ah, mixed results then...
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.
Had an M-Technic 320i convertible. All factory options, loved it.
Btw the 320i is the smoothest of all the E30 sixes.
I'm partial to my es. (Which also has the m-technic factory)

Lovely car 👍
Great video, well presented thanks for posting!!!
Thanks for watching! 😁
I had an E30 316 and was a good car, now i have a E46 325i
Ooh great choice!
Loved my touring 👌🏻
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!
