    In today's episode we are getting behind the wheel of OUR BMW E30 318i. It's hard not to turn your head glancing at one of these dinosaurs. It's held a die hard community and for good reason. With a uniquely boxy design and kidney bean grills what's there to hate?

      E30’s are slow but you are driving the worse example to review. A 318i sedan with a 4 cylinder engine slammed with bags and heavy aftermarket wheels. Most likely the car has a open diff. By the way the “facelift” started in 1988 and they initially designed the e30 being as a sedan not a coupe. I love your channel but please don’t spread wrong information to people who don’t know. Oh yeah e30’s were mass produced but they are not plentiful at junkyards as you say. It is a 30 year old car.

    Also the reason "dirty E30" became a term is because they were used in rally cars, and that's what they called them. 318 and the 325i were totally different beasts. The 325i although not fast, was a a lot more peppy then the 318/325e and made the car lot more fun especially on curvy roads where the car excels over being a fast car, it's a momentum car.

    • @sdfE36
      @sdfE36 4 роки тому +5

      m42 318s (like this one) have a lot to give. the "318s are boring" sentiment generally comes from m10 experience. m42 318i/s e30s aren't really that far off the performance of a 325, and the change in weight placement definitely helps the balance of the front end.

  • @laidback93
    @laidback93 3 роки тому +7

    I know the 318i has it's fans and they love the weight savings, but the M20B25 is a great little sewing machine. Good low end, with the right LSD, and it loves to rev. Makes nice sounds too!
