Beautiful design on the E30 M style. Simple and elegant, completely purposeful. Bred on the Autobahn for cruising at Höchstgeschwindigkeit. 🇩🇪🏁

[@shukuraltay6781]

just got mine , sold one and regretted a lot. finally able to find a pure 1988 325iS bought it from a gentleman (35 years lawyer.) who bought it new from showroom and owned from day one til it was sold to me. hopefully nothing would force me to sell, i want to pass it to my son.

[@SharkBlueMedia]

Your son is very lucky! I am certain the 88 325is is now is very good hands. Stay happy and healthy!

[@vez010]

Congrats. Sounds like an amazing find.

[@jamesfindlay3674]

Wow! That’s is a rare find. I have a 2003 E46 330 with 18000 miles fully maintained and garage kept since new. I thought I had a low mileage BMW but your E30 is a rare gem!

[@SharkBlueMedia]

Your E46 is quite a rare gem as well!

[@chgotbanned]

Being an owner of almost 15 years of my own late model sedan, I love watching this. Mtech 1 is one of my favorite kits offered next to the BBS ones. Nice to see such a clean low mile example to bring you back to the hayday of the 80s.

Gorgeous automobile. Great to see these beauties preserved. I have a '90 325iX. No where near the New Old Stock level of this M Technic 325i but she still turns heads.

[@SharkBlueMedia]

Any E30 turns heads nowadays!

[@andreirobu1136]

Really beautiful. I have a black e30 sedan with 30k miles, feels and looks like brand new. So proud of it, thought it's just a 316i, but still lovely to drive.

[@derekdalton5658]

I'd prefer a more modest 316i e30. Be proud my friend.😊

[@1anonymousb]

My mom gave me her hand me down '84 325i when I was in high school, and I came to love everything about that car. It was old at the time, but still put newer cars to shame. I lost it in a pretty spectacular wreck some years later. I bought a newer 2015 model a few years ago figuring I loved the old one so much, the newer one must be even better. It's not. The feel of the new car doesn't even come close to the old one. It's faster, stronger, and handles better, but the feel is dulled. I'd pay a "steep price" (within my budget) to get my hands on a E30 project car if I could.

[@SharkBlueMedia]

Hope you were not injured during your spectacular wreck! Glad to hear you got yourself back in a BMW though! But yes, the new just don't feel like the old anymore.

[@ShiftDawgie]

Lovely work again guys!

[@EdgarGonzalez-ge8zu]

Wow this is the most beautiful post I''ve ever seen. And I agree the Pagoda and the e30 are the most beautifull cars ever, offcouse we'd have to include the alfa as somebody mentioned it. I think these 3 design got it out of the park. For me the e30 holds an special place in my heart as I have owned a 1992 318I cabriolet removeable hard top that I sold and there is not a day I stop regreting it, good thing I kept my 1987 325I, but it has US bumpers. Can I ask where can I find those wheels. I can guess they are panasport?. Thanks for sharing your beautifull cars. Greetings, Edgar

[@SharkBlueMedia]

Thanks for your comments. The rims of Richie’s car are Minilites. What kind of Alfa are you referring to?

[@EdgarGonzalez-ge8zu]

Minilites, thank you I've been looking for those wheels for ever, all I could find was panasport, but they come to small. I was refering to the Alfa gtv 2000 another dream car of mine.

[@guillaumegras2200]

Superb but it deserves OEM 15’’ wheels, these Mini whelks are out of place. I bought an E30 with 17’’ wheels on it, swapped them for OEM 15’’ BBS, the ride was transformed.

[@drli8765]

I owned a brand new 1989 325i with a manual transmission when I was in college. The car was so engaging to drive. I received 3 tickets in about a month because those cops were jealous of BMW owners. That's like guys with small ducks see someone with a big gun having fun with a hot chick. If I had known that all future cars are going to have no steering feel, stiff sports suspension, low profile tires with ridiculous large wheel, I would have bought three E30 of different variations, MB 190E 2.6, E320, Porsche 911s and keep them in mint condition. Unfortunately, today's car are designed for majority of our population who know nothing about cars. The trend was driven by fashion, technology and power. This is what happen when we have democracy. We all know that, less than 3 percent of people are really smart in our population. That applies to wealth, beauty, artistic talent, athletic ability, etc. If we have the right people to be in charge of each field, our world becomes a heaven. On the other hand, we often encounter these days are those wrong stupid people who are dictating our world. This is one reason why today's BMW has no steering feel. They don't dare to call them the Ultimate Driving Machine anymore. Even today's most popular KZbinr auto analysts don't know shit about steering feel. They just pretend that they know. They need to drive some old Porsche 911s to understand Driving satisfaction.

[@SharkBlueMedia]

BMW's latest cars have indeed shifted its purpose from the Ultimate Driving Machine to something else.

Thank you for your comments. The tires on the BBS are expired. Have a problem sourcing new ones, as they are all Japanese. That said, since my teens, I have always been a Minilite fan. So I ordered one that fits the e30. It may not be VIN specific, but its the only one in the PH and I love them. Regarding the Rev Counter, still a bit "queasy" about pulling out the cluster - for fear of cracking the panels. One day...Cheers

Don’t think you know follow e30s closely if you say it’s more sought after. You can’t find a E30 325i slicktop unless it was ordered from the factory that way, they all had sunroof pretty much standard. Sunroofs add weight at the worst place on the car so a slicktop is far more desirable, and rare.
