Turbo BMW E30 | A Homebuilt German Classic

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Ryan's car sounds UNREAL. If I were to head on over to Ryan's garage to film some mods/improvements on his build, would you guys watch that?! :D See you on Thursday with a 620 whp Corvette Z06

[@JohnnyCorleone]

Hell yeah!

[@andrewpoon5813]

Roads Untraveled 100%! He is constantly at work perfecting his craft, would be a real missed oportunity to not show his progress!

[@josh.nalepa6596]

it's a great idea. it brings more variety to your videos and tells more detail on how some people built their car. 😀

[@karlovukusic1262]

Roads Untraveled NEXT E34

[@czkid23]

Absolutely! It adds some great variety to the channel. Plus he seemed like a cool dude.

[@thedownshiftchannel]

The E30 is a fantastic chassis! So much fun to drive and with the right mods still extremely capable by modern standards! What a cool build and it's retained subtle looks!

[@thedownshiftchannel]

The purple tag e46 rack is the one for amazing steering

[@Kooldood.]

yesss!!! E30 owners unite!

[@monkynutss711]

underrated channel

[@xxmurdernova12]

[@collinfassett3759]

SyntaX for the quality, the interesting cars and diversity this channel deserves at least 500k subs.

[@spiffy2427]

this channel is so underrated

[@RoadsUntraveled]

The amount of times we get this comment makes me happy

[@edfabrizio]

Beautiful car. Proud to be a E30 owner myself as well!!!

[@KevinMinato]

damn that interior is so clean! look forward to hearing more about it in the Roads Untraveled Podcast!

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Right?!?!?!

[@BlakesGarage]

Just picked up an E30 for a build on my channel last Friday.

[@AW-xv7dq]

I was 18 years old when I drove my first e30 325i. I had driven a few performance cars at that time but this one really stood out as the most enjoyable for me. Since then it's been more than 20 years and I have driven many more cars since then BUT I always remember ripping around in that black E30. Wonderful drivers car. Simple but enjoyable and effective.

[@godfatherNYC]

I remember when these were brand new cars. There was such a HUGE difference between these and the small Japanese cars you could get (mostly.) Such a _planted,_ solid feel, so much _pull,_ beautiful style. Such class. You really nailed it again with your appreciation of this beauty for what it is.

[@rry6301]

I remember seeing an E30 M3 in person.They really stand out quite more drastically than in pictures.

[@PaPWPW]

That cinematography though, cot dayum

[@hughclow2254]

PilgrimTitan cot damn

[@PaPWPW]

Hugh Clow gah daym boi

[@kietasasfaltas]

Oh... this channel is flawless, but so underrated. Keep it up!

[@davincicalisthenics]

Love E30s 😍 first Roads Untravelled vid I have seen... instant sub. How have I not heard of this channel until now?

[@LimaUniformCharlieA]

Very clean car, I like it. The gauges are the only thing I do not like, but I guess you have to put them somewhere. Anyways, I just wanted to say how well you guys are doing. I'm a subscriber for not too long, I think since the E36 M3 video, but you can clearly see the quality of the content increasing. I mean, the GT3RS video was just nuts. I hope you will soon get the attention you deserve. I lack the words, but in german I would say, dass ihr ein kumpelhaftes Petrolicious seid. Keep up the good work and drive safe!

[@kamelpoo]

gotta love E30's

[@ryguyfergie]

Kameron Baker you were honestly my motive when I first found your video!

[@mikeyrischmiller505]

honestly wish you guys all the success possible, the content you make is honestly some of the best out there imo, thankyou for the hours of entertainment!!!

[@nfggarage8135]

Homie that steering wheel isn't aftermarket its a M-Tech 1 steering wheel that they put on 325is e30's stock or as an option. Love the cinematography, a 3rd gen RX7 would be a cool video

[@alex_rodriguez777]

Was going to point that out, honest mistake.

[@BuildThreadsNorway]

So cool seing a BMW with fat tires for once!

[@odevious8081]

And cheap rotas wheel lol

[@vxscarr]

fat tires are where its at

[@KriegBoy]

Right?!

[@tomvanooteghem11]

periodic correct

[@djfung]

Shit fucking wheels tho. Even stock 15s would look better

[@Tor302]

for sure my favorit channel on youtube. keep up the amazing work love seeing all the local cars!

[@stilltrying2gopro829]

so under rated you guys really deserve more viewers! great vid!

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

Gotta love the 90's! even stock these cars were pretty torquey, and handle realy well.

[@krayziebenno]

Another stellar production Marcus & Co.! Your auto videos are up the with the bets on Y.T. Top work fellas

[@fairizzeero5269]

it's finally reveal. i've wait so long for this video. great job guys

[@bmwsincekid]

My Dad Had same Car I was in love with it i was sitting in thr driver seat for hours Dreaming of one day i will own it, some times fell asleep there 😂 one day i will buy One ☝️!!!!! BMW FOREVER!!😍❤️

[@andrewpoon5813]

Absolutely love this car, and it gets better all the time too! Maybe next spring you might want to shoot a vid of my '76 2002. 6cyl efi swap with Nitrous.

[@developmentdivision122]

These videos are so sick!!!! someday I wanna make videos like this. The filming is perfect.

[@mortalinsult6728]

I had one. 5 speed coupe, same trim/same year/same gold color as this car was originally. Of all the e30s I've had *snif* ... I'll miss you most of all

[@mortalinsult6728]

btw, subscribed

[@phoenixmillsap21]

the m20 is built to handle boost. it's a low compression straight six with a design stemming from a turbo charged plane motor. not to mention the m30 (a 3.5 liter m20 with a timing chain) came factory turboed

[@BerlinettaFerrari]

I have been waiting for this review!!!! THANK YOU!

[@Turkeynek]

so glad to see your channel get some traction. Been watching well before 10k maybe like 3kish always loved the vids.

[@homohamster7293]

British Columbia? OHHH I SAW VANCOUVER CANUCKS ON UR KEY CHAIN OOOOO BABY. This dude is doing it right, e30 + Canucks = life.

[@Little6]

E30 is timeless. Great review.

[@bosna916]

i love how the interior looks so plain but yet it looks very nice with the gauges and just little things in it and i like how it has a cummins turbo lol

[@noahlaw3644]

I really enjoy each review you do ! Thanks.

[@NewSpaceMedia]

So sickkkk!! Can't wait till our videos are uploaded!

[@williamnolan287]

you are incredibly close to 100k subscribers. congrats

[@PBrar101]

Haha, his car is like the german version of my celica supra, re-built stock engine w/ arp studs, holset from a diesel, msd ignition, megasuirt ecu, even down to the 10psi. Awesome!

[@2chill475]

Holy moly, there's no doubt you guys are gonna get super big soon. Cheers from Hamilton

[@SHAUFITS]

Excellent editing! Great job with this channel!

[@BMWeix]

Put the ZHP shortened and weighted shift knob on that little sucker. You will love it I promise. I have two 89 e30s one vert, and an ix. Look into the ix model, the 4 wheel drive system is incredible. Mine has lots of nice mods and goes pretty well.

[@ryguyfergie]

BMW e30 325ix just put a zhp know and dssr in it.

[@BMWeix]

Excellent! enjoy, oh, and you have one hell of a car there bud!

[@Destitute77]

The perfect home built E30? Gotta be close. And whilst we all love a V8 in a small package I really do think it would detract from the essential character of this perfectly formed and balanced small RWD. This and a turbo Miata/MX5 NA would be close to the perfect garage on UK roads.

[@olderrol1968]

in my opinion the diesel turbo is a little bit of an overkill for 10 psi. but overall there is nothing greater than a car that's built by the owners and. Love reviews like this keep them coming

[@GunsAreFun945]

Thank you I've been looking forward to this since I discovered the channel :)

[@a1jettacoupe]

Nice upload, love the German content as of late ( including that MK1 Jetta).

[@brandonbeckster]

Been waiting ages for this vid. Thx

[@allprogear]

Best car BMW ever built.

[@chriserz94]

Marcus , that's not an aftermarket steering wheel , it might not be stock per say but it's an OEM Mtech 1 wheel.

[@derekpauldarch]

I'm in Canada and own an e34 540 Sport 6 speed, I don't know if anyone else with an e34 like that or an M5 has approached you for a video but I'd make the drive from Manitoba to BC in the spring to do an episode, Matt Farah reviewed one but he didn't really push it hard at all.

[@Dictator-lf8rv]

Ahhhh, havent watched one your videos in a while. Im suprised you dont have more subs cause your vids are amazing. Also, have you ever done a video on an R31 Skyline? Would love to see one.

[@threadscrossedmechanic1622]

Finally a good video, last good video was Nick's R32

[@RoadsUntraveled]

+Tbone steak Tender damn that was over a year ago :p harsh lol. GT3 RS? 2JZ 240sx? Jdm Supra? What did you like so much about those two in particular? So we can improve :)

[@TheJMedia]

Love how the e30 looks so mint!

[@louiepollayah4496]

Nice! I was waiting for this!

[@danielhartman7891]

Build specs? check. Some numbers? check. What the car feels like? check. Good film shots? check. Turbo e30 in the US? check. You sir just became my favorite car channel.

[@tagerung90]

I actually really like what hes' done with the car- I would personally do a bbk/ before more power. Just personal. More than enough power to have a ton of fun. but I'm not fond of the amount of lag

[@vwkoolaid]

Very cool, I've seen the car at some cars and coffee events. Great car and a really nice guy. great work on the video too!

[@paulindawsoncr]

where? I'm an e-30 owner on Vancouver Island.... love to meet and chat.

[@croschko]

wow this is actually my dream car :))

[@philipgrobler7253]

Just a small heads up, it does not have an aftermarket steering wheel, these came standard in some or most 325i's and definately standard in the 325iS EVO I and EVO II.

[@tomvanooteghem11]

evo is for the E30 m3 and the most famous evo II was a 2.5 4cyl with 238bhp

[@rdln4313]

I await your videos with so much ducking hype man. You're awesome !!!

[@jerridstrothman5324]

keep doing what you do best!!! showing up MATT FARRAH. Roads untraveled needs to come to the U.S. would love for you guys to drive my 07' xrunner😈

[@ItsMikeArre]

Let's get Marcus and the rest of the guys at RU over 100k b4 the year is over guys

[@driftsnlifts]

your videos are awesome man

[@M_O_C2002]

...bloody hell...that's actually really fucking nice

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Love the camera rig set up!

[@venivelovici]

Cool video. Just picked up an E30 and eager to make it faster and lighter!

[@tomvanooteghem11]

Search for a 327 eta block,Those are the engines alpina used. With the 325i head on it it makes a healty 200ps.

[@forwox]

What about fuel injectors? Are they stock? Beautiful e30..

[@ryguyfergie]

Rolands Svētiņš they are 36# bosch white giant injectors. stock injectors are 14#

[@therealboofighter]

Great video. I like what this guy has done with turbo. I like the car, I like wheels, I am just sure if they work on that car. But to each their own. Well done on the car.

[@pnut91red]

boofighter From what I see, the wheels look like they work well from a performance perspective. Of course I'll need to ride to be certain :-)

[@therealboofighter]

pnut91red I have no doubt that they are light.

[@lemarseillais514]

So clean. I have E21 and E30.

[@tomvanooteghem11]

Love the E21 323i.What a sound.

[@sans.wagner]

I was just thinking of buying an E30!!

[@riverman33]

E30 forever !

[@shouldigetit]

Under 2,000 views club! This E30 belongs in movies

[@minkodima]

Hm the centercaps says that this is a Rota wheels but the're actually XXR 002 with 2 PCD patterns 4x100 and 4x114.3

[@BMWeix]

No need for a BBK, just some good performance pads, cleaner fluid, and some SS lines. This has been my experience as well as many other, the car is just plain light. Besides there are other places to spend some $ right?

[@smashervt]

Hey Roads Untraveled the steering wheel is a mtech1 wheel. Not aftermarket. some cars came with the mtech wheels.

[@alfaholic3]

Finally an e30 driver who got the tyre size right.

[@R34Sumo]

"the wheel aren't a legit Rota"................ Rota is a cheap a Fark brand anyway lol.

[@Northern_]

Not that I care about that shit, but it bugged me too.

[@Chattsteezy]

what?

[@Northern_]

Rota is a brand that makes knock-offs of other popular wheels, therefore "Legit Rota" is an oxymoron.

[@markysparks7436]

I think he was trying to make a joke there.

[@rfelix588]

I LOVE THIS !!!

[@RobynTapps]

that clayburn creek sign tells me your location... nice bro.. you got a sub from a fellow BCian ;) and rust is a bitch down here hey hahah why they gotta salt the roads..

[@irvonovisuals]

I never considered 2,800 lbs to be light for a 2 door 90's car. I think that's definitely going towards the heavier side in my opinion. I only say this because I have a 86 VW that weighs 2,200 lbs.

[@markusmiller4257]

you just earned yourself a subscriber!

[@gtdriver721]

amazing build salute this man :)

[@AliAuto101]

Simple and Clean

[@juliuschoi7215]

"legit rotas"

[@audiwankenobi361]

I love this car.

[@faust13301]

The videos are more entertaining than those on the Smoking Tire and Marcus seems to be a much more affable host than Farah. Keep it up Roads Untraveled !

[@Albertouy]

One of the best sounding e30's I've heard. what's the exhaust setup?

[@ryguyfergie]

Alberto Moroy 3" turbo back with wastegate recirculated to a single magnaflow muffler

[@MNRiverCatfishin]

This channel rocks

[@Nperez1986]

Holset turbo FTW! :D I have one in my Nissan

[@stephencain3467]

that turbo still has alot left in it too

[@CrazyPanda688]

'Hopefully in the future it will have a v8 swap with a turbo, but I gotta run that through the wife first' hell no you don't, just do it, if she doesn't appreciate your hobbies and passions then she isn't the one

[@patrickgillilan3014]

How is the seating position unique? Can you expand on that a little bit?

[@Nicmetal]

standard 385mm M--tech1 wheel, not aftermarket, not smaller than 4 spokes

[@anthonygonzalez9149]

I have a 1990 bmw 318i collecting dust in my shed. My dad wanted to fix it up but didn't have the money for it.

[@GodOfGamingBG]

2.5 turbo huh, I wonder how that feels like... my E30 still has the stock M40 engine with its standard 115 hp

[@cpdhyrule2585]

I recently bought one of these with the intentions of putting a 1jz in but the car is having way to many problems and needs way more work then I initially thought will you guys talk me out of this

[@grinchxvx]

I can't even give my turbo e30 half throttle without the rear end slipping completely out In the rain ,Needs more boost!

[@BMWeix]

OK, I know the car is a 1990. However, you refer to the car as a "90's car". The e30 is most def an 80's car in design and engineering, albeit well on the cutting edge for it's day. Also, love the camera work and running shots.

[@nello1591]

Where in BC was this filmed? I'm looking to buy an E30 soon, this video certainly helped to solidify that decision. What a fantastic channel. Glad I came across you today.

[@ryguyfergie]

[@dre32pitt]

Just had to say this before i continue watching.. I subscribed within 20 seconds. I KNOW Im going to love this fucking channel. EDIT: I was deadset on an M60 swap or 2.7 stroker... but now I dunno..... WOOOOOOOOSHHHHH
