This BMW E30 Is A Spiritual Successor

“In my case, when I started looking for BMWs, I gravitated toward the 1991…the 1991 coupé is the last coupé they made in the E30…” says Delia Wolfe. “The 318IS is the ‘baby’ M3; it doesn’t put out as much horsepower or torque…but it was the spiritual successor, if you will, to the 2002.”
“It has everything you’d want in the 2002,” she says. Delia is the proud owner of a 1991 BMW 318IS, one of the last of the simple, mechanical, engineering-driven driver’s cars the Munich firm built its reputation on. “I found it down in Aptos, near Santa Cruz, somewhat sad and neglected-but I fell in love, because it reminded me about my 2002, and my Tii. And those cars were the cars I grew up on, those were the cars I loved first.”
Wolfe has been able to repair and restore her car-she’s a BMW mechanic, restorer, and expert-since 2008, with it remaining tied to commuting duties as well as just about anything else, from flinging it through a twisty road or embarking on a longer road trip.
“The E30 has its own cult following. People found that you could modify them with very little money, and that the cars were durable, and that there’s all kinds of places to exercise your passion,” she says. “There’s lowered and ‘stanced’ E30s, then you’ve got E30 spec racing, there’s a rally series…people run drift cars-every facet of racing seems to have a place for the E30.”
“When you choose a car, you should choose carefully,” Wolfe says. “If it’s not the right car for you, don’t keep it…[but] I have to admit, I have got a kind of a jaded view in favor of the E30.”

In my honest opinion, the E30 is the best car BMW has ever made. It isn't the fastest or rarest, probably not the most collectible or iconic or beautiful. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say and I love the looks of them. They are "my" generation of BMW, started the same year I did. Despite great cars like the Isetta, the M1, the 2002 and so many other iconic BMW's, I still say like many others, this is THE best car BMW made. They really are a true drivers car and one that the masses could buy. It was such a well rounded & balanced car, it had all the traits of a really, really good car! The E30 M3 was even better, the big flared fenders and M bodywork, magnificent little S14, love, love, love that car! Any E30 is great and the majority had the wonderful M20 in them. The early M10 I wasn't super fond of but it was a decent engine despite not having a lot of power. BMW did take it's greatest cars and put one of my least favorite engines in it, and the engine in the 318is in the video, the M42/M44 family. It did make more power than the old M10 but had a lot of problems. It was very common for the cylinder heads to crack on those engines amongst many other issues. I was a factory-trained, STEP grad and BMW Master tech for the better part of 10+ years before I went to aviation. I do miss it, at least the older cars. Before the days of all the fiber-optic buses and complex systems. I cut my teeth using the DIS, GT1 and even the MODIC testers on these cars! I'd bet you would get some funny looks in a BMW dealership service center today if you ask what a MODIC was!

To this day, dumbest thing I have ever done when you find out how much it would cost to buy one (E30)....

The last half freaked me out because I just got a '91 318IS 5-speed with the M42 but it has been rebuilt after around 200,000 miles. I had to replace some hoses that had cracked and were leaking air a bit but it has been super reliable and stout for the past owner and so far that I've owned it. I was planning on engine swapping eventually anyways so I've planned financially and tool-wise to swap the engine when it has a big bill but I've grown to love it a bit, as the turbine like sound near redline is super enjoyable.

The 318is is a very nice E30 for daily use. And the one in the film is in really decent nick (especially with 327k miles on the clock!). I hope Delia can continue enjoying it for many years. As the M3 is virtually exploding in value and the 320is is not very common, E30s like this or the 325i are still affordable machines for enthusiasts to experience the magic of this Bavarian wonderful chassis.

My first car was a 1983 BMW 320i that I purchased used in 1993. Started saving up for a car when I was 14 and bought it when I turned 16. That was an awesome car to learn the basics of RWD vehicle handling. Sure, it wasn't fast but it was nimble and quick through the corners. Other than frequent repairs (we maintained our cars but there were some minor issues with the 320i) it was a blast to own. We kept the car in the family for 10 years and put 100K miles on it. Sadly, one week after we sold it locally, the kid who bought it got T-boned driving into the local Walmart but he walked away with no injuires. The car on the other hand, was totaled. At some point I will probably invest in an E30, but I am also a fan of the 635 CSi.

Stress bar, antisway bars, sport shocks, which drastically changed her stance. Already had chipped her out, free flow exhaust...the usual upgrades. Still has most original clutch etc. I baby her a lot!

Ah too bad, I'm low on money and space myself, that's why I'm trying to sell my 90 325is. I also have an 87 325is that I've partially restored but I'll never part with that one! :)

I learned to drive in an E30 and my first car was a 2002. The engine from the regular 318 was popular as a donor engine for a tired 2002 (not the tii, the carburetor version). Nice clean car. I'd love to own one too.

Thanks for sharing your story. I, too, have an unreasonable love for the M42-powered E30 and have owned one for the last 18 years. Here and there the temptation to sell it arose, mainly when the not-so-great original timing case design reared its head multiple times over less than two years. But, I persisted, had a 2.1L M42 built when the original timing chain let loose at 210K miles, and it's been tons of fun ever since. ~200bhp in this car, with the nice light front end, is a heck of a good time. On paper it is nothing to write home about, but there are very few cars under $100k that have been, in my opinion, anywhere near the same kind of fun. With the supercars, you can't really do anything anyway because it is all too easy to wind up dead or in jail! As the saying wisely goes, "It is more fun to drive a slow car fast, than to drive a fast car slow." Just my humble opinion anyway. Given your aptitude for wrenching, if the timing chain system ever starts to act-up, consider swapping in the timing case and case-to-block gasket from a 1994-1995 M42. It eliminates the deflector sprocket which is, these days, a significant cause of engine failure. Other than the case-to-block gasket being different, it is a direct bolt-in and a huge reliability improvement.

you know nothing about cars then... The 325 engine is waaay to heavy for the e30. You will have a lot of trouble with the front-axis. The 318is is the best choice for an e30.
