- This is my first ever Car Review! In conjunction of joining Team Aurizn and EvoMalaysia.com, I decided to review my very own 1988 BMW E30 318i.
Check out this video on the condition of my E30: • What to Watchout For W...
BONUS:
If this video reaches 3,000 Views, I will do a Dyno on this car to find out the Real Wheel Horse Power of this 32 Year old M40B18 which claimed 111bhp on paper. I think it’s going to be 95 (too optimistic?). Let me know what your guess is in the comments below!

The E30 318i is my favourite car ever, I’m fortunate to own a 1988 example which lived in South Africa from new then until last year in Portugal and has zero rust.
It’s now in the U.K. and kept in a garage, the only way to keep it dry.
I agree completely with your comments 👍 dynamically they are superb.
Great video!
Ahh me too. I love the M40B18. Keeps the car agile and darty!
Your E30 must be lovely.
Amazing bro
Arigatou :DD
@@ThomasYap I became your fan and of course Bobby Is my favourite car journalist and now you became my favourite car journalist too. 🙂
@@rapid_auto Thanks for watching bro. Very Flattered by your comments. :)) I'm still learning the ropes as a new Car Reviewer.
Hi Thomas.
This was a great video. I enjoyed your style of presentation and ability to talk about your car.
I agree with your observation on how the car brings you into contact with new friends. I had an E28 I brought from Germany to Canada. I used to get together often with other owners.
I now live in New Zealand. I bought a 1989 318i and had it as a daily driver. It needed some work and sat in my garage for about 9 years. I am expecting it back from the mechanic shortly. It will need some cosmetic work over time and I hope to have it small like your car eventually. Mine is a two door.
Thanks again for your video.
this video is done well and so underrated, WELL DONE👌🏻
Thanks Izzul. Glad you think so. :) we gotta start somewhere right?
All time favorite. E30 & 39..
Will look for you when get one 🤭
These cars are timeless bro!
Love your vibe. E30's are life!
Yes E30 forever!
Well done with the great video bro! Feels like you’ve done this since forever!
Thanks bro! So Flattering! :D
Excellent review, bro.
The E30 really is cute lil' runabout. Boxy yet timelessly good-looking.
Yes bro. I love it as my daily :)
Hi Thomas
Like your reviews so much. Keep it up. Looking forward on your coming reviews..
Congrats on your new ownership..(Megane)
Hey nelson: thanks man. :) yep. More videos coming up!
I had an 1992 E30 325i. Till today it’s one of the best cars I ever had. The sound and power of an in-line 6 combine with the E30 chassis is unmatched! The car would drift around the corners and still hold its line. Regretted selling it after I busted the engine.
I have one as well, a 1990 model with M42 engine, all around AC Schnitzer kits inside out, LSD installed etc. Take it to balik kampong Taiping every now and then. Reliable and loads of fun as you enthusiastically demonstrates.
wow an E30 Coupe 318is? Must be sweet bro. Thanks for sharing. It's very encouraging as a new E30 owner! :)
Keep up with your exuberance personality. Very likeable. Cheers.
Thanks Kim KB! Appreciate it! Will do so and keep producing videos like these!
Love the intro 10 stars 🌟
Arigatou! ❤️❤️
Nice review..
Noticed that your odometer not working..dun worry, it's an easy fix.
And the glovebox closing can be fixed just need to align the bottom screws holding below.. 👍
Thanks Felix! And also for the tips! Yes, oddmeter is out and rev counter is not accurate too. Will follow-up based on your suggestions.
Hi thomas after watching your video I plan to get an E30. My mom had an E21 coupe in the 90s but it was caught on fire at jln yap kwan seng traffic light haha.
Thanks bro. I'm so glad I can inspire someone to look at these classic beauties. :) Sorry to hear what happened to that car. Hope no one was hurt. But looking forward to hear about your E30!
Thinking of getting one just like this, 1988 E30 318i, same color but no leather interior. I'm in Ireland and we don't have a great car market, and cars are pricey. But I recently found that gem for just under €10k 😬
Wow. the E30 318is holds its value way better than a 318i. Did you get it? If you did. Congrats man. I almost got an E30 Sedan with the 318is engine M42B18 engine transplanted in it. But... it was sold too soon. :(
I'm dieing with mine, even though I hadly get some of the parts this days but at 120 speed it still comfortable on the road. 💕
Yeah I find it hard to let go of this car. It's so charming!
Best BMW E30 salesman in 2020. Probably 2021 as well. 😂
Let's get more e30 owners on board! :D hahahaha
I agree, an E30 is just about fun ...
Yep! It amazes me how it’s so much fun even compared to modern cars!
you're Awesome! i liked the way you talk
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the presentation style!
Noice vid! Please throw the cassette to me, I love it, hahahah
Thanks Nash! Took me a while to find that cassette! It's almost dinosaur technology now!
@@ThomasYap it is, but just like e30, one of the iconic product back in 80s to early 90s
well,i've been bitten by the e30 bug,n no regrets owning 1,working on it whenver needs arise-coz,end of the day,its the satisfaction,both the drive(exactly hw u hv described),n just glancing at it stationary itself(u knw like checking it out)...priced possession!!
After 1 Year owning it.. Completely agree with you. :)
Mint condition !!
Thanks! She's in great condition but far from mint. There's quite some stuff to fix. Will post an update video tonight. Subscribe and turn on notifications when it's up yea!
There are interior detailers that can repair these cracks. If you want your car to be in tip top shape, do visit them. Btw, nice review!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy the Review. Yes! That’s the plan.
My baby is getting some mechanical parts fixed now. Eventually I’d like to touch up the interior too. :)
@@ThomasYap Looking forward to seeing the repairs and upkeep videos. Hope to see the dyno run soon too! :-P
@@kimsoon80 Yep! More videos to come about my car's condition and repairs. :D
Lovely ride bro!
Mind sending me a DM as I'm very much interested to get some advices before decisions made, thanks bro!
Thanks man! Sure. I can't send DM on UA-cam - Could you drop me a message on Instagram instagram.com/thomasyapofficial
Timeless. Yes it is. The E34 also has a timeless look.
E34 is nice too. Don't get me wrong, I love the E34 too. But I just like the E30's look a bit more. :P
@@ThomasYap every man his own....hahaha
@@charlessharminilawrence2326 indeed! :P
bro, as the Merc 190E and E30 is head to head. Is the E30 more friendly (spare parts sourcing) comparative to Merc 190E? What is your view?
Unfortunately I don't know enough to comment.. But based on the people who owned both. It's pretty much same same. :)
Pls tell me what wheels you use those look sick
Ahh. Sorry for the late reply. I have no idea what the wheels were haha I bought I off like that. I installed the original Bottlecap 14' Rims.
@@ThomasYap thanks alot for replying and its okay better late than never :)
Go to 3k views for the Dyno. ;)
Let's do it! :D
What difference between e30 2 door and 4 door?
Just the body. And value coz the 2 doors are more favourable haha.
You didnt have to do the cassette dirty like that 😭
Nice 👍 car. Where you find it?
Thanks man! I love the car. I found it off an ad on mudah. It belonged to a classic BMW restorer who owned 3 BMWs at that time, one E30 316, this one I bought and an E28.
Became friends with him and he just bought 1 more classic BMW after selling this to me. Haha
I have my mum’s 1985 320i E30 which needs to be restored/refurbished etc. can anyone tell me where I can get it done in Malaysia?
Hey man. That’s awesome! Where do you stay? KL?
@@ThomasYap yes in PJ it's a 2 door btw
@@irwaniz oh a coupe
@@nickryan6787 yezzzaaaa
What is the price 318 sedan in malaysia

I dyno-ed it. The Video was very crappy in it's quality so I discarded the video. However, you gave me a good idea. I'll post a picture on my UA-cam Community Tab. Thanks Carlos.
