Very cool. Had a 5 speed e30 that I sold. Regretted it.

I used to own a red 1985 318i ��

Very cool.
It is the absolute base model of the line, a 316 without the 'i'. It's the carburator version with about 90 horses and it even doesn't have a rev counter. I think this really is a gem, with it's steel wheels and completely unmolested state.

Rarely do you see someone that young appreciate an old car these days. I'd take any clean e30 like that with 3 pedals.

But looks like he owns alot of cars so this is just one of his collection...or am I wrong?

Of all the cars I previously owned, my E30 318is 5MT is the one I miss the most. 22 years ago I totalled that car in a rollover accident, and walked away without even a scratch. That car saved my life.

I love these Petrolicous videos!

Thanks for posting....my enthusiasm for BMWs started many years ago with a series of E30s as well

They do have some fantastic content. I particularly liked their video on the ferrari 330 p4.

In the middle of restomoding a 325is now.

Petrolicious videos and the music they pick. The feels!

This video makes me want to go out to my garage and hug my E30.
