1988 BMW E30 320i - walkaround and POV drive
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 кві 2021
- A walkaround and short drive with my BMW 3 Series. The car is completely original and equipped with only a few factory options like front fog lights, a manual sunroof and 15 inch alloy wheels. The colour is Mineral Blue (code 231), a pretty rare and (in my opinion) gorgeous colour for this generation of the 3 Series.
The 320i had the smallest six-cylinder available in the E30. It sounds great and feels very ´buttery´, although it lacks the impressive power of the larger 325i, especially at lower revs. But it does have a nice party trick which you may be able to notice in the video: at around 4000 rpm it gains strength pretty abruptly, almost like it has a variable valve timing of some sort - which of course it doesn´t. It surely makes it rewarding to explore those higher revs every once in a while... - Авто та транспорт
Nice to see a normal e30 without any huge turbo strapped to it! Looks great.
This comment should be pinned.
Inmiddels heb ik deze BMW sinds een half jaartje in mijn bezit, ik heb er een projectje van gemaak, interieur, carrosserie en motorruimte zijn inmiddels helemaal clean, ben nu met de ophanging en bodem bezig, ik probeer hem "bijna" fabrieksnieuw te maken.😊
The M20B20 Engine sounds like no other such a amazing sound.
Fanatasric! Way to go!
This is SO true!!
This is the best E30 pov video on youtube!
Thanks!
Knocking over the cone like a proper BMW driver :D
😁
Amazing color, great drive. Really cool seeing your local landscapes!
Thank you for this -- brings back so many good memories I had of my E30!
The lighting makes the video look like it's a dream.
Beautiful E30! Love the color and spec.
One of the most beautiful interior you can get
Sounds so good! Takes me back to when I owned one
that colour is absolutely beautiful! never seen it before
Very Good Original Stock car perfectly for Weekend drives with Good Weather
Absolutely, no salt and (almost) no rain for this car...
Such a beautiful car!
Beautiful car, looks absolutely fantastic
Such a lovely car👌 would love to own one of these🙏
These cars are truly beautiful ....
Just absolutely beautiful. Great and mint. i cherish that stock look.
Impecable. Car is mint.. I think this is quite the example
Thanks a lot for this video ! You have a wonderful model and setup ! I've just bought a 87' 320i I'm going to get it next week so I'm watching videos to wait ^^
That´s great, enjoy it!!
manual?
This is the most beautiful car from BMW without a doubt
Love the colour!
How is it running so smooth?!
Oofff, I know this car is going to be in my dreams tonight!
I live for videos like this
Wonderful comment :-)
Absolutely stunning car! I appreciate that you've kept it original, no changes necessary for such a timeless design.
Edit: Have you or the previous owner done any extensive work on the car besides replacing parts which is expected to decay over time?
Hi! Nice to hear that you appreciate the originality of the car, I find it very important myself too. About your question, I have owned the car for about a year now and never had to do any major work on it, and as far as I can see from the old bills that came with the car, neither have the previous owners. Only thing is that not all the paint is original, so there may have been some rust repairs done at some point. But I think that´s it.
@@ericcrama2221 Its german👌 Über Allez lol..
Thanks. Nice car.
Ваш ролик меня вдохновил. Я свою е 30 купе 1984 г. в 2022 все же реставрирую. Спасибо машина хорошая.
спасибо, удачи!
Thanks
nice car bro
Bellissima...❤
Clean car!!!
OH MY GOD. BEATYFUL CAR. IMAZING SOUND AND IAM SURE STILL HAS UNIQUE SMELL OF B.M.W WHEN YOU DRIVE IT AND SIT IN IT. LUVE IT MILLION TIMES
Thanks for your message! Unfortunately the previous owner had one of those air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror, so the car smells mainly of violets :-(
Hahaha, Eric, hartstikke goed man. Wat een coole auto en wat was zo’n E30 toch een heerlijk rij ijzer. Ik ben helemaal niet jaloers hoor, echt niet. Helemaal niet!!!!!
Geniet er maar van, greetz
Haaa, dank je Dick! Gelukkig weet ik dat ik autotechnisch geen medelijden met je hoef te hebben 😉👋🏻👋🏻
this bmw the newcars are toys
*Looks and sounds great. Where and when can I pick it up?*
Wherever you want, if you make a very generous contribution to my bank account first ;-)
Good conditioned.......qué bien 👍
Gracias 😉
Just a question i have about the E30s. Is there some kind of light that goes on when youre reversing or how do you know your in reverse? Is it all about the feeling in the shift knob ?
No, there is no light or anything like that - in fact I don´t know if any manually shifted car has such a feature. In the case of the E30 you feel a very obvious spring pressure when moving the shifter all the way to the left in order to engage reverse, so there is never really any room for doubt.
@@ericcrama2221 Ahhh ok thanks for the answer !
If the car goes backwards, then you know you are in reverse.
4,10 diff ratio 👍👍
Absolutely stunning, so lean, really nice colour and great rims with actually a decent amount of tire. How many inches are the rims? BBS right?
Yep, BBS. They are 15 inch, which I believe was the biggest size available for the E30 at the time. Glad you like the car!
@@ericcrama2221 I have 15 inch Alpina's, the ones with the black heart. Skinnier much lower tires, but when i have to go MOT it this october i'll put bigger ones on it.
What size do you have??
Again, stunning car you have! Love, love the blue, love the way it is so clean... Stil l can't believe how amazing... Almost makes me repaint my white E30. Also, i Have a low profile ducktail spoiler at the rear and louvres. It looks amazing, black on white. But I do wish my tires were taller, around the size of yours!
one thing of note, the car is perfect so i think you can handle this scruteny😁, is that the strip around the windows is brown, while it should be chrome coloured. They are from some sort of rubbery plastic and they turn brown after a few years. Mine too, but i bought a couple of meters of cheap aftermarket stuff, nobody will notice. Spent 50 euro, while the original is 200
@@ericcrama2221 one other question: what is the colour name and code?
@@lordbogus6709 Alpina´s, nice! I really like the looks of those too. Size of my tires is the original, 205/55 R15. Unfortunately new tires are quite expensive, since it´s a rare size nowadays. And I don´t quite understand the thing you mention about the strip (yes, I can handle it ;-) Do you mean the strips around the side windows? Or the front/rear window? And a rubber strip that should be chrome coloured? I don´t really get it...
@@lordbogus6709 It´s called Mineral Blue (or Blau in German), code number 231. It´s funny, I wasn´t actively looking for an E30 (I´m generally into (even) older cars), but when I came across this one I immediately fell for the colour and condition of the car. And now I love the E30, of course ;-)
What is the camera you filmed with buddy ?
Hi, I make these videos with my iPhone (12 mini) mounted on my head with a clamp that I think I found on Amazon. Looks ridiculous but it works ;-)
@@ericcrama2221 yeah i speculated that could have been the case. Iphones cameras destroy the go pro when it comes to quality
I have an E30 320i M20B20, my diff is a 3.91 but its making whinning noise at cruising speed, i need to change it and i only find for sale 4.10 and 3.45, can anyone tell me what diff to get for daily driving?
My diff also makes a tiny bit of noise, luckily nowhere near bad enough (yet) to think about changing it. I don´t know the answer to your question, I´m sorry. Hopefully someone else does.
Szuper BMW nekem is volt 94-ben👍
Un toit ouvrant électrique mais des vitres manuelles. En tous cas merci de proposer une E30 "usine"!
Le toit ouvrant est manuel aussi, seulement les rétroviseurs sont électriques ;-)
Ha! C'est noté. La couleur est jolie. A bientôt. Merci!
I’m buying one of these next weekend for 800$ 🎉 I’m so excited so I’m just looking it up lmao
Enjoy it!
Beautiful color on your nice E30
Take care of her ✌️
What is the color code?
Thanks! It´s called Mineral Blue, code 231.
@@ericcrama2221 Thank you, it's beatiful man
Cheers from Manila, PH ✌️
@@bosley629 Greetings back!
Stock bmws are beautiful
Beautiful car. How much did you pay it if I can ask ? I want to buy one and I want to have an idea of the price
Hi! I´d rather not mention the exact amount I paid (in case I ever want to sell the car, hope you understand), but let´s say a fair amount north of 10k euros. A lot of money, but the car had less than 100.000 (documented) kilometers on the clock at that moment, and was (and still is) in fantastic shape. You can definitely find a nice one with a bit more kms/miles for less I´d say.
@@ericcrama2221 alright, I totally understand:) thank you for the answer
Manifesting so i can afford it
Honestly, I am pretty jealous right now.
Did you restore it?
That´s always good to hear ;-))
No, I didn´t restore it, I bought it the way it is. As far as I can see some parts have been repainted in the past, but for the rest I think the car is completely original. Hope to keep it that way for a long time.
@@ericcrama2221 if you don’t mind sharing, how much did you buy it for?
@@glaucuscefiro9043 Hmm, I hope you don´t mind that I prefer not to be too precise about that (in case one day I want to sell it...), but let´s say it was well north of 10k euros. Definitely not a bargain...
hoeveel betaal je biv en jaarlijkse wegentaks op zoiets
Hij staat op oldtimer kenteken, dus de wegentaks is maar 100 euro (99,99 om precies te zijn) per jaar. BIV weet ik niet meer, maar was ook niet veel.
Is it a good choise to take a e30 318i 320i as a first car ? Im 18 years old
I absolutely think so! It´s a solid, intuitive and most of all FUN drive. Just be careful please.
@@ericcrama2221 wich e30 engine like 320i 325i is the strongest to careful ? It is for daily city sriving and school, and sometimes taking the autobahn
@@ST-42 I only have experience with the 320i, so I´m absolutely no expert on this, but I do feel that a six cylinder engine (320, 323, 325) gives this car something really special. And for the rest I´d say the bigger the better...
@@ericcrama2221 thank you very much,
cant wait to find a beautifull one
@@ST-42 all E30's bring something to the table, the 318i is "slower" but the gearing makes it actually much faster lower down so feels faster around town from stoplights. The 320i is a very balanced smooth ride and great for a highway cruiser like a convertible. The 323 is reasonably powerful and the 325 the same, not by today's standards but good fun.
Damn I so miss that engine sound
Wish I had never ever sold it!
Oh God! Me too...😥🖐
Thank you so so much.. for this... im looking for a BMW like this... need a guy who can help me find the car... for the right money not a bilion
Cette BMW est un vrai regal pour les yeux, sans parler du moteur et de cette belle couleur qui lui va tres bien.
Cette votre voiture est elle equipe de catalyseur?
Je demande ça, parce que je suis interessé dans l'achat d'une voiture comme la votre, mais je pense que dans la majorité des pays europeennes les voitures sans catalyseur sont interdites de circuler.
Hi Miguel, if you don´t mind I´ll answer in English (as you can tell from the license plate I live in Belgium, but I am Dutch. So my French is not great...). The BMW E30 is from a time when catalytic converters were not omnipresent yet. My 1988 car has one, but I think earlier examples don´t, or maybe they were an equipment option that you had to pay extra for, I´m not sure. Anyway, whether or not cars are allowed to be used in certain areas generally does not depend strictly on the presence of a catalytic converter, but usually on what Euro classification the car has. Or even simply on what year the car is from. At least that is my experience. I know that for example in Spain, gasoline cars that were built before 2001 are not allowed in certain areas. And in Wallonia pretty soon only cars with Euro 4 or better will be allowed. So long story short, I would first decide on where you want to be able to use the car, then check the regulations for that area, and then decide which car to get. Having said that, a BMW E30 is VERY recomendable ;-)
@@ericcrama2221 Thanks for your response, I will try to check better these questions with the seller, before I make my decision to buy. Meanwhile enjoy your 320i! I really think it remains a fantastic car after all these years. Take care.
Is it diesel or petrol engine?
It´s petrol
Sim ok
Hola, cómo de recomendable es para el día a día ese mismo modelo y a su vez para alguien jóven?
Hola, pues creo que para el día a día podría ser un coche perfectísimo, para todas las edades, de 18 a 105 años ;-) No te cansarás de conducirlo. Pero hay que tener en cuenta que es un coche antiguo... hay que mantenerlo bien y estar dispuesto a aceptar que te pueda dejar tirado algún día...
@@ericcrama2221 gracias!
@@ericcrama2221 is this plate belarus brazil bulgarian or belgium?
@@nojusbacinskas8950 You forgot Botswana ;-) No, it´s indeed Belgium. More specifically it´s a Belgian license plate for oldtimers, which start with ´O´.
If you listen to this sound while you try to sleep the following can happen: After 2 hours you wake up, sweating, thinking about your e30 might be stolen. You go into your garage and surprise - there is no e30. Crazy Stuff 😁 ok, i have to admit i never bought one 😊
:-))
The famous "gusheshe"
I had never heard that nickname before, cool :-)
what happened at 4:10? clap sound
Luckily nothing to do with the car... it was the man in yellow dropping the guardrail ;-)
В первую очередь скорость ставят потом ручник снимают
How much can this thing cost today?
All I can say is that I bought it about a year and a half ago and that it wasn´t exactly cheap then ;-)
@@ericcrama2221 No wonder, it's a gem. Thank you for answer!
8k plus for a good one
Do u know the color code
It´s color code 231. ´Mineral Blau´.
