The first thing you’ll have spotted is the new fender flares, which are a little reminiscent ofLiberty Walk’sback catalogue. Cast your eyes downwards, just in front of the rear tyres, where there’s one of the next biggest changes. Like aDodge Viper, thisE30has four side-exit exhausts...
Probably going to be like a low mileage E36 today, so reasonably affordable but still more than any sane person would pay for one. The E46 is great, but it doesn’t have anywhere near the legendary status that the E30 has. The E30 is universally loved for its timeless styling, the...
Look, no offence or anything, but the E36 is the middle child of classic M3s – the E30 was the first, with the lore and the pedigree and the flared wheel arches. The E46 was the screaming, visceral, best-incarnation of atmo straight six ever. And the E36? Erm... it was ...
I first fell in love with the E30 M3 and was very close to getting the E46 M3. But the convertible itch swayed me to the 986S. Sold the 986S and the rest is history. I ordered an E90M with Individual Azurite Black metallic paint, Black Novillo, Carbon Leather, ZCP, ZCV, ZP2, ...
There is some rust to contend with, as the seller notes that the driver’s side floor board near the peddle box needs help. He’s including a good, rust-free replacement panel for the next owner to install. Even with the respray, there’s some surface rust creeping into the paint, as...
It’s no surprise that I’m a big fan of the E30-chassis BMW 3-Series; after all, a 1987 325is was my first real project car and one I still own today, approaching a decade in my care. While the M3 is the grandaddy for 3-Series collectors, the E30 generation has been on somew...
The new BMW 1 Series M Coupe has been developed for near-perfect balance and a large, square footprint. It is 71 inches (1803mm) wide – 4.8 inches (122mm) wider than its 1988 M3 ancestor - yet only 1.3 inches (33mm) longer at 172.4 inches (4379mm) long. The new 1 Series M ...

was handbuild by BMW Technik GmbH instead of BMW itself. The aerodynamics, the sliding doors and the rear axle were the new items. The engine and the front axle were just old E30 parts. But never the less the car changed the image of BMW. And that was what the car was intended for...
