[@babiidriverolivier2020]

These videos are just as rare as the 325is I've been waiting for such in depth videos for years.

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Thank you!

[@puristM]

Priceless classic, will continue to appreciate beyond peoples imagination. 325iS is a South African national hero.

[@MrJacqueslouwvermeul]

Good Story. Keep on going T ! Great vehicle. 325iS & Superboss are the ones to have!

[@samuelblennies9301]

Yesss.....You are ABSOLUTELY spot on, "the common public do not know about the nostalgia behind this car".....To some it's just an old car.....but it's such a classic..... I would love one, in mint and original condition.....and they do look beautiful in "Brilliant Red".....

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Thank you Sam!

[@gabrielarnolds6127]

This is the best 325is video I have watched so far and it is extremely informative!

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

That’s a big compliment, much appreciated Gabriel!

[@joashpillay7579]

absolutely love it!, thank you for taking the time to make this video, its great to see your car in its original shape and form. The car is beautiful, there is no denying it. A car truly worthy of being called an icon.

Just stumbled across your review and I had no intention of spending more than 5 mins on it as I was after hearing some revs etc but your story is so intriguing I could listen to you all day. Great job despite the length ( I watch on double speed with the kids playing in front of me)

[@peterrhoda9038]

Great video! Re: Colours - the 145kW 325iS with the aluminium body panels was only available in four colours - red/black/silver/white - due to issues with painting the aluminium body panels. The later "Evo" (now referred to as the Evo 2) reverted to steel body panels and so came in many more colours. Now if I could just find that issue in my pile of Car magazines...

Hey, Awesome video and 1 of my top cars as well. would've loved to hear your thorts on the rear seat head rests as well as the first few numbers/letters of the vin (not sure if i missed that part) that car belongs in a museum, after you sort out the exhaust tips and aligment thereof. why wasnt the price you paid mentioned? (Did i miss that too?)

This is one of my favourite cars of all time, I prefer this version of the E30 over the M3 because of the lovely 6 cylinder engine and subtle looks.

great video on the bmw 325 sport/ red is the color for there cars/ the m teck options list is as follows just to clear it up / rear blind/ on board 13 button computer/ map lights in rear view mirror / gear knob / s/wheel/ heated seats/ rear open windows/ rear head rests / rear arm rest/ black roof lining/ sports gearbox/ sportsseats/ green tinted glass m teck suspension/ i think also special 16 inch cross spoke alloys just for this car/ hlww head lamp wash wipe / these are options , if u find abmw sport with all these factory options boy u are lucky

Great video & thank you for school the masses about Mzansi icon... Maybe make a video with both evo's them sharing the difference... The Airflow meter should have Alpina stamped on it I think, lol... Maybe also get 745;530mle;evo's too...

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Thanks for the support Nkosana! The airflow meter has a red Alpina sticker on it, mine must’ve come off over the years.

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Thank you!

[@kishenvelloo5858]

Great Car, video and detail, do you happen to know the origins of the body kit as many European E30’s has them?

[@BubbleboyJ]

The trick to know whether there is an m badge is to find out if bmw has it under the e30 catalogue. The answer is yes there are specific m badges for the e30. Same with the seat mtechnic badges

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Not quite…there’s more to it than that.

[@BubbleboyJ]

You're missing the yellow manual window winding tool. Was actually designed for the 5 series but they included it in the e30 tool tray.

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

On this note, from what I understand, the iS did not come out with that piece from factory, whilst other models did

[@yaseengaffoor]

@@talkingcarswitht2285 the e30 did not come with the tool. Completionists are out trying to find the tool when no e30 in the world came with it. Ive confirmed this with 3 people on forums who own their cars from brand new and I am the owner of two one owner cars (me being the second of both) look online it will confirm this even further

Great find. Gives me hope that I can still find an original 325iS. Also, do you know anything about the turbo 325iSs? Were these factory or aftermarket?

[@MrJacqueslouwvermeul]

Wonder if the 333i is worth more than the 325iS?

[@BubbleboyJ]

Another suggestion. Please dont drive them below quarter tank. The pumps are notorious for sucking dirt into the tank and going to the injectors and it becomes problematic. Also its a sure fire way to lessen the lifespan of both the fuel pumps

[@talkingcarswitht2285]

Thanks…try not to, but I also rarely drive my cars, hence I don’t like keeping fuel sitting in there. Appreciate the observation and support!

[@yaseengaffoor]

I have my first car for 7 years and literally drove it under quarter as a daily. As a teacher back home I couldn’t afford to fill full tank lol… fine. With my chromie, totally different story. You are somewhat correct. Previous owner had the tank rust inside over time and this damaged my pumps. Still believe the theory holds true for coastal cars to be honest
