Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
With timeless boxy styling and legendary engineering, the E30 is the Swiss Army Knife of classic motoring.
Whether it's for track days, shows, or the daily commute; the E30 manages to do it all.
The second generation of the 3 series, known as the E30 launched in 1982 and remained in production until 1994. The model range included various body types, the most practical being the 4 door estate as presented here. This car is also fitted with the desirable and sought-after 2.5L M20 straight-six powertrain which offers the driver a mighty 171BHP to tap into. This car has received some tasteful modifications in the past including a limited-slip differential, short shift gear lever, lowering springs along with being chipped (Nick reports an extra ~30bhp).
In 1987, a major update came to the E30 range, external styling changes included redesigned rear lights, front bumper, and a reduction of chrome trim, along with extended rust protection. One feature that increased the interior cabin space was the suspension set-up: front MacPherson struts and a rear-trailing arm suspension was a compact arrangement that allowed for more cabin and boot space. Automotive press from around the world praised BMW for its handling capabilities.
This example has been owned by Nick for the last 7 years. Nick is a petrolhead and loves all thing motors, this is his third E30, he loves the classic shape and driving feel the car offers along with its practicality for transporting his children and luggage.
