Hello! Ciro here. So this was a dream come true, finally, finally, finally getting to drive the Cars.co.za SentiMetal BMW 325is Evo 1. And I got to do it on track, which is fitting as this is one of the most iconic motorsport homologation specials ever produced in South Africa.
The 325is is now a living legend. With an engine tuned by Alpina, lightweight aluminium panels, the suspension from the BMW E30 M3 and more power from its stroked 2.7-litre inline-6 motor, the car has become known affectionately as "The Gusheshe" - which simply means very fast.
As I found out on the day, it isn't particularly fast by modern standards. But it is utterly superb to drive, offering a driving experience that is just simply not available from modern cars.
I do hope you enjoy watching me rattle on about this wonderful car. Fair warning: I get a bit emotional at the end.

Geewhiz I feel Nostalgic after this video. My E30 was stolen but it's the best driving car I ever had. Nothing compares to it.
Sorry about that, chief.
Sorry about that bro
Eish man thats the only issue boet with owning these e30s, thes owes just take what they didnt work for. Sorry to hear boet, hope the crime rate improves man.
Thanks gents
Sorry man
That noise....that beautiful noise. Legendary. Could hear that in the distance and you knew it was a 325......Not like today where everything sounds the same.....and bangs and pops are considered cool. Great video. Gonna watch it again. :-)
The only sound I don’t mind hearing for hours. My love for the beemer came from this car, the sound. Gusheshe & Matchbox were the IT in the 90’s 😎
I owned a company in the 80s and 90s that fitted car alarms / and radios!! So we always had these beautiful machines on our floors!! Occasionally I would take one out !! What a machine to drive!!
4:00 nothing sounds better than that 🔥🔥😵
straight six ;)
Lexus lfa... Have a listen 😂
32 Gijima. Born in Germany and raised in Soweto, Isandla semfene, Ithemba lamahumusha namahumushakazi, (Only people from the township will know what I'm talking about). This car has a legendary status in South Africa, especially in kasi. - The opel was called Bonjovi.
Man!!! What a smooth engine!!! You can literally feel the soul of the car through the exhaust note! One of BMW's very best, ever!
Whoever restored this car did a great job ,what a beautiful machine
Greetings from Bergvliet, Cape Town. When you mentioned that you used to own a 4 door 320i E30 it took me back to when my dad used to own and drive a 1991 325i E30, also as a 4 door. He used it as his daily car and it also doubled up as the family car at the time. It was sadly stolen in 2001 and then we moved on to other cars after that.
My friend had one first year of Varsity. Doors did not lock. He used to make donuts in front of the bus taking students to town. That car was a real peach.
You guys must have been super cool , I can only imagine
@@Jomotmm we thought we were impressing all the girls. Only people we ending up impressing were the dudes.
@@geoffreymoos2896 Classic response, lol. Yeah and that's true the guys will always give props
the rev limit on these cars is even more special , the way the engine manages to maintain this is amazing, whats even better is that you can stroke the average m20 to a 2.9L, the engine bay can easily support a e36 m3 engine even a m5 e28,its just so versatile
I am not a fan of BMW but the 325i.s is to die for, I really that this car with all my heart
Good old days. My cousin had a 325is turbo and a Superboss. I resperte alot these cars. Old Times! The 90s were cool.....😎😎😎
Awesome video, thank you. Brings a tear to my eye, I still miss my E30 320i (with the executive pack too!) and I rue the day I sold it 😭 probably been stolen and wrecked by spinning like most E30's seem to end up as a sad fate.
This brought back some memories! My uncle had one of these, back then this thing felt so quick!
That’s awesome:)
My uncle had a 333i and my dad said it was a phenomenal car !
Even my 15 year e90 320i handles better than some brand new cars (its slow cause its a 4 cyl sedan, but it handles like a dream)
I still want to get a e30 one day !
333i aka cripple 3
Never driven one but from everything I heard and saw, not just this video but many others, I’m sure it’s a great classic. Wish I get the chance to drive one in decent condition someday in my life. Loved it, great car, great video. Keep up the good work!👍🏼
I remember those BMW's... hugs from Portugal, lekker job done there
Absolutely love this segment, amazing content
Hey guys this is my first video i ever watched from you guys. I have to say I am blown away your review of this car is the type of review i love. You were so engaged and the car noises and music was perfect. I don’t know if you’ll ever read my comment. But even though I am from USA I would love to see you guys do a similiar review of this style with the 333i. Pleaseeeee. South Africa is one of my dream locations to visit. My favorite and Best world cup (2010) and my dream e30 (333i). Blessings.
First car I learned to drive in when I was 6 years old, my mother's red BMW 325i E30
I love the Look - It has that vintage 80's Leon Schuster feel. Awesome as always!
My dream car... had a few e30s but the 1 that has captured my heart is the 325IS.
Amazing work! What a car! 😍
Awesome video Ciro
I also really miss this car. Had a convertible 325i but it was just too expensive to keep at the time
Bmw 325i is up there with most iconic bmw model. Engine and exhaust just too good
Thanks for talking in metric units. Much appreciated 👍
When are you guys doing the 87 RSI TWINCAM.. we'll appreciate that..
GREAT WORK GUYS👍💯
Love this car I know you always doing reviews on high end vehicles which is amazing content ever thought of doing a review on a polo vivo 2019 GT? As I can not really find any content of that vehicle on your channel
Thanks Chiro for the exceptional comments on the iS! You are 100% correct on your feelings about the handling. I have a Passat at the moment with 36kw more power but does not provide the same handling and feeling as the iS. I had a silver one(evo 1) for 14 years and I felt the same feelings as you had towards the end of your video. Keep up the good work! Kobus Müller
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. These are special cars indeed
can't wait for the review of the evo 2
Such a beautiful and iconic car absolute dream car
Had one. After all the cars, regret selling that one amongst 3 others. Favorite car I have now is a Volvo v70 R
Rode that car from East London to Cape Town. Very refined. Great luxury ❤️🥺
This car makes me smile I love it
My former Boss has 1 that is in absolutely Mint Condition...Still absolutely stock standard...He said "He is happy that he dont have a Son,otherwise it would be pimped out" lol
He drives it once a year and the thing has less than 100000kms on the clock.
In 2011, guy walked into his yard with 350k cash to buy it,and he refused
It parks there covered behind his racing cars.
I was born after 95 and yet I cry with you brother!!!
They are more balanced than most all other cars. They are more planted than most all other cars. So, when guys spin or drift in these cars, I don't think it's as risky as a lot of people think it might be. It's more like an illusion of being out of control.It's very easy to get back in control of these cars. The best way to explain it is to compare them to Weeble toys. Weebles Wobble, but they don't fall down.
Correct!
There are not many cars that are easier and more predictable to drive than an E30.
I also feel nostalgic now, remember the Matchbox (5 series) as well & the 6 series 😎
nice, ciro and co
Holy crap the car is in CW that's it I'm going later to check it out..cant wait to see it in person. Very very special car. UPDATE.. went to check it out Oh My its immaculate very well done!
Please do a race between a 325is VS 333i VS E30 M3
“Even if you’ve never driven one, you just sort of respect it, you know” Amen to that! Preach Brother! Preach! :)
Moisture in my eyes 😭😭😭😭. I feel you Ciro
That sound🥰
Love this car🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍
The love i have for this car ....
I love this car
Great car.cheers.
Ithemba lama rhumsha.🙌🏾
I once owned 325is evolution 2 n some otjer Indian guy fro polokwane gave me the offer i can't refuse that time😥😥now am regreting i feel like crying everytime i c it.
I bought it by R65k in 2007 and the guy gave me R150k in 2008 😥
What’s evo 2
Still a legend
The 325iS was an evolution on the 325i and therefore the Evo 1
Evo 2 again an evolution on the Evo 1
There is only 1 Evo. The fist 325is 2.7 145kw was not an Evo. The 155kw 325is 2.7 is the one and only Evo. There is no Evo2.
Gusheshe🔥🔥🔥
Definitely going to be my first car
Back then in the 90's this car was very expensive only the very few that had it could afford it , was an everyday mans affordable car.
Amazing
Love it...one day
Had so many opportunities to buy one when they were cheaper. Should have gone for it
Beauty
Old school great
The sound on 4:00🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥😭😭
I miss my tech 1 e30 325is. Really fun cars to drive. The astras I prefered the mk3 GSi
Nice one Ciro and Team 😉😎👍👊 Kind regards Cuzzy 😎
Lovely car....
only BMW I ever wanted
I think they look great ,,, I could just stare at it
Please make a poster of this car 🥺🥺🥺
Clearly see his not a BMW fan and drives it terribly, I've seen these cars move very well by BMW lovers
Missed my sentimental delivery, what must I do now??
kieff legendary car
Absolutely beautiful 👌🏻 I feel like that about a MK2 GTI. I had a Volfsburg edition. Sold it to go chase dreams in London. Can someone just ask Elon to invent a time travelling machine already! 😂
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it
BMW also have an M3 like the 325is, in UK
I am so disappointed by BMW factory for not manufacturing this car that has a long history on us in South Africa. Pls BMW owners bring back this car as it was. I am not a rich guy but definitely I will buy it.
#LONGLIVETHEGUSHESHE
Can sentimental please get a 2.9liter vr6 it deserves to be apart of your collection
Turbine smooth motor.... Try get a 333i, that'll be fun 👍🏻
Car looks familiar did you buy it from a owner in Belhar?
To be honest, we really like watching the car running, rather than watching a person talking to the camera.
My brother had a silver 325is
What I really want to know is if the New 330is edition deserves the I.S name
Hahaha the filter of the video 😹
Please get a 333i for your review
That noise!
All BMW engines sounds fuckin beautiful it’s truly pleasing to the ears
Hi there I know I may get my head bitten of but how do you expect a car like that to respond quick when you drive it like a polo no double clucth revs are low then you compare the might m20 2.7 with a turbod vw engine helped by a dsg my brother I would pay money to see that polo take on an m88 e28 M5 engine
That is not just a car it's someone's dream
The problem began when they gave you a legendary car kanti wena you used to your polo starterpacks mxm
Exhaust?
I liked the video before it started 😂
I thought it was Gusheshe vs new 2020 Gusheshe
How much is the car??
just came here to say, the 325is is NOT "the original gusheshe"
and just looking at the comments these guys need someone that actually knows how to drive these great legends
What is a original gushesh
Most favorite South African car special among blacks
TRA brought me here lol.
This is agrate movie much like a movie about aman and a car. Good. The 325iS idid driveit when I was younger nice car the girls in school said oh wow nice one. It was my friends car. Iwas still in high school. Iam glad you have a poopup shop in Carnal Walk. This means someone can look upon the car and say look idid see the car! Can you imagine? Iwish you had your radio off as there was music which did have me to say as such I wish to hear this car bud now iam herrinng music and noise. No thanks. Let’s move on. I live in Johannesburg so Iam inable to go to carnalwalk but please come to my house for tea Ciro. I’ll gladly tell security to let you into the estate. Bless and praise and thanks.
whats the difference between e30 325i and m3 e30?
If 325i is Jesus, the M3 is God. I hope this makes sense
Ciro u can't review a 325is without burning those tyres neee man
That is a collector's item, why would you even say that? Show respect to this legend.
gush magesh... gusheshe
Is this the same 325is as in the States?
No South African spec only
@@mohaumokhethi8625 thanks 🤙🏼
South African 325is close ratio gears 2.5 aluminum panels e30 M3 suspension, then EVO 1 2.7 alpina goodies in the motor
Please I want that car
I have oun of myself
