Few luxury cars of the era could match the 3-series when it came to overall value, so much was packed into this relatively small package. It was by no stretch of the imagination the most affordable car on the market, but it offered so much more than the rivals could at this price point, fit and finish were unrivalled, performance was exemplary, and all the materials they used were of the highest quality. All these cars came with a stiff chassis and relatively light tail, so it was important to learn the car's limits if you want to drive it fast.
It is a car that will reward every type of driver, except a bad one. If you are not able to understand its limitations, it will bite back hard. BMW aims to offer the best in luxury, in-car tech, and driver satisfaction, here are the 10 best models currently available.

M3 was considered to be a perfectly engineered car, for its time, of course. Even today, it's respected, praised, and it's a dream car for many automotive enthusiasts. The love for the BMW E30 and the following behind it also comes from the badass, yet simplistic style of the car.
The fact that you can do whatever you wish to an E30 doesn't deteriorate its respect and value. These almost perfectly engineered machines can take substantial amounts of abuse, You can transform them into straight-line berserkers, or you could toss them around a track all day long with a huge smile on your face. If the BMW E30 is such an extraordinary car, well then why isn't everyone driving one, there has to be something wrong with it, right?
Of course, they're 40 years old. Although I consider the engines found under the hoods of E30s to be very well built and reliable, many would completely disagree with me. We would actually both be correct, simply because many E30s have taken such heavy abuse, with only a couple of E30s that were taken care of left, so you never entirely know what you're getting. And we once again have to take into consideration that these engines are 40 years old; That's a very long time. Before going out and purchasing an E30, a lot of research must be done, you will definitely need to know how to prevent and eliminate rust, you will have to understand that it may or may not come with a couple of problems, and most of all, plans for an engine swap cannot be taken out of the question.
Understanding the responsibility that comes with an E30 is necessary, still, you should try your best to look for a stock, completely unmodified E There isn't much to dislike about the E30, it's fast, it turns on a dime, and the design is timeless; The E30 was, and still is, the ultimate driving machine.
Give the E30 a little love, a little bit of time, and of course, your wallet, and it will make you happy. Not only that, but you will also officially become a member of an exceptional community of people, that is, the E30 community. I strongly believe E30 has not aged a bit. I also think M2 is what E30 M3 started, i. All the following M3's and current M4 completely lost its heritage.
Go M2!. Tim Rodie. A major reason why these cars are so popular aside from their fantastic engines, is that they can be modified into just about anything. Any time the name BMW is mentioned, people love to talk about a friend of a friends cousins uncle who owned one and had all sorts of issues with it costing him thousands of dollars. That however, is not the case at all. I own one, and so does my dad. I purchased my current daily driver, a BMW i Sedan, last year in New York City sight unseen, and drove it the entire way home to Chicago without any issues.
When I bought it, I could only afford one car, so I drove it all winter long including those cold mornings where it was negative fifteen degrees outside, and the car never skipped a beat. As long as these cars are maintained properly with basic care they have the potential to last well past , miles.
Buying an E30 is quickly becoming expensive. Prices are steadily rising as these cars are on the cusp of becoming a classic. Buy one and enjoy it for what it is: a simple and smooth straight 6 engine with sublime handling that makes you grin from ear to ear. Buying a car as an investment is like buying fine wine, letting it age for years and never taking a sip.
Otherwise sell it to someone who will. Noah Krauter is a junior at York this year. He is super interested in fast cars and reading quality books. He spends most of his time trying to fix his
