Being an owner of almost 15 years of my own late model sedan, I love watching this. Mtech 1 is one of my favorite kits offered next to the BBS ones. Nice to see such a clean low mile example to bring you back to the hayday of the 80s.
Wow! That’s is a rare find. I have a 2003 E46 330 with 18000 miles fully maintained and garage kept since new. I thought I had a low mileage BMW but your E30 is a rare gem!
just got mine , sold one and regretted a lot. finally able to find a pure 1988 325iS bought it from a gentleman (35 years lawyer.) who bought it new from showroom and owned from day one til it was sold to me. hopefully nothing would force me to sell, i want to pass it to my son.
Wow, just wow! Beautiful E30. I would definitely stare if I'd see that on the road. Salute to you sir and to the one with the white E36 M3 for the passion in keeping these cars.
Really beautiful. I have a black e30 sedan with 30k miles, feels and looks like brand new. So proud of it, thought it's just a 316i, but still lovely to drive.
My first car was a 1990 BMW 325i sedan in red. I got it for cheap back in 1998 and it already had 182k kilometers on it. It was a pretty common sight back in those days, but these days it's always a head-turner.
My mom gave me her hand me down '84 325i when I was in high school, and I came to love everything about that car. It was old at the time, but still put newer cars to shame. I lost it in a pretty spectacular wreck some years later. I bought a newer 2015 model a few years ago figuring I loved the old one so much, the newer one must be even better. It's not. The feel of the new car doesn't even come close to the old one. It's faster, stronger, and handles better, but the feel is dulled. I'd pay a "steep price" (within my budget) to get my hands on a E30 project car if I could.
Hope you were not injured during your spectacular wreck! Glad to hear you got yourself back in a BMW though! But yes, the new just don't feel like the old anymore.
E30 is the most beautiful car at this time, and now its kult. You can be proud, I have the Convertible version. 325i engine is great. Cool sound and great power.
@@SharkBlueMedia you must be careful BMW E30 gets stolen alot my mother had a nice BMW E30 318i M40 in 2013 they stole my mother's BMW E30 my mother and my father was always crying for that BMW E30
Gorgeous automobile. Great to see these beauties preserved. I have a '90 325iX. No where near the New Old Stock level of this M Technic 325i but she still turns heads.
Wow isn’t this every man dream. Buying a car you always dreamed of. Congratulations on this purchase. I drove one in the 90’s while in Germany…however Mercedes 190e that age is amazing as well
The E30 and The Alfa 155 V6 TI were my dream cars in the late 90s. There's a documentary on bmw if you guys wanna watch it. Adrenalin: The BMW Car Story. Worth a watch.
Wow this is the most beautiful post I''ve ever seen. And I agree the Pagoda and the e30 are the most beautifull cars ever, offcouse we'd have to include the alfa as somebody mentioned it. I think these 3 design got it out of the park. For me the e30 holds an special place in my heart as I have owned a 1992 318I cabriolet removeable hard top that I sold and there is not a day I stop regreting it, good thing I kept my 1987 325I, but it has US bumpers. Can I ask where can I find those wheels. I can guess they are panasport?. Thanks for sharing your beautifull cars. Greetings, Edgar
Minilites, thank you I've been looking for those wheels for ever, all I could find was panasport, but they come to small. I was refering to the Alfa gtv 2000 another dream car of mine.
@@kingamir5094 They really don't make them like they used to at all! May the car gods always give you good and smooth roads to drive your classic beauty of an E30 on! Stay happy and healthy my friend!
@@SharkBlueMedia I bought it second for my gf while in collage. Sometimes, I'd have used it for my part-time pizza delivery job and guess what? I got way more tips especially from male customers LoL
I rev counter was unfortunately not working. It may be a low mileage car but it's still sadly a 20+ year old car that hasn't seen much use in its life.

Ticked all the boxes, yet doesn’t have electric windows, sunroof or leather interior! Stunning car though, I had a fully loaded, 4 door 325i SE with factory M-Tech pack in dolphin grey. These reach shocking money now in the UK. Another car I regret selling!!
Superb but it deserves OEM 15’’ wheels, these Mini whelks are out of place. I bought an E30 with 17’’ wheels on it, swapped them for OEM 15’’ BBS, the ride was transformed.
This is my favorite body style. I haven't purchased a BMW since they moved away from it. I hate the new rounded shark looking body styles that BMW has gone with today. If they ever bring this back I will buy.
I honestly prefer my sedan...won't have to ever get rid of it for more room if I get cursed with children and the overall "stance" looks better than the stretched side windows. Finally(and I didn't know this till after so it had NO bearing on my purchase decision)the sedans (at least on the e36)actually weighed less than the coupes...something about the extra glass in the coupe was heavier than the extra steel used in the coupe
Agreed! The upside to this is that with anything mechanical, I prefer that it was used frequently. Any machine left idle for decades might as well be a museum piece or a candidate for expensive overhauls. Fantastic machine and video. Thanks for sharing.@@SharkBlueMedia

Beautiful design on the E30 M style.
Simple and elegant, completely purposeful.
Bred on the Autobahn for cruising at Höchstgeschwindigkeit. 🇩🇪🏁
I had two MTECH 2 Sports over the years. The latter was a concours winner back in the day. No expense spared. Gorgeous car.

Congrats. Sounds like an amazing find.
Beautiful car!!! I’m happy everyone enjoyed true video 🥹
Grazie mille!
The most pure and elegant BMW E30 325i for sure.
It's the perfect modern collectors car.
Brings me back to my 1988 E-30 M3. What a wonderful car. Expensive to maintain but what a driver.❤️❤️❤️
Worth every penny!
Wow, just wow! Beautiful E30. I would definitely stare if I'd see that on the road. Salute to you sir and to the one with the white E36 M3 for the passion in keeping these cars.
Right on!
Excellent curator of an art museum.

Drive a Bmw smell like teen spirit. In my eyes E30 is answer of untimely driving machine. ❤❤❤
I have been in love with these e30's since 2014 and this is the ultimate driving machine I rather have then any other. ❤❤❤❤
Beautiful 325i M3 ❤
I learned to drive in a white 1987 325i BMW coupe. I now own a 1999 E36 M3 convertible and love it.
That's quite a car to learn to drive with!
No m3 here(do have the same HP now tho) but love it just the same.
Time capsule indeed, and what a beautiful one. Love those cars!
They don't make them like they used to!
The sounds of the engine make me 23 again. i had a 323 1983 that was similar. smiles

Thank you very much for watching!
This guy is awesome 🤜🏻🤛🏻 and so is this E30
Richie is a great guy! He really loves his cars of all kinds.
Awesome car! My dad had one when I was in High School. He would let me borrow it sometimes and I just dreamed of owning one someday. Nice video!

Go for it! Good luck with your restoration!

Thanks for the tip! We will watch it!
Use to be the ultimate driving machine , I have a 2022 Bmw and it doesn’t feel that any more
BMW no longer uses "the ultimate driving machine" tagline for a reason now!
I often wonder if anyone longs for my car like i do other cars. 86’ 325es. And such a beautifully flat power band
You are not alone my friend!
so much beauty man

Cool car. I wish it had the original wheels though. Is the rev counter broken at 2:16?
Yes, the rev counter unfortunately was. 35 year old car problems, sadly.
Got mtec1 cab dolphin grey 80k miles love it beautiful car people take pics of it everytime i drive😍

Back in the days when bmw used to make goodlooking cars. Damn! 👌
It's really too bad they don't make them like they used to!
That E30 is about as good as an E30 can get, glad he's keeping it original.
This is BMW at its finest. Not the crap they ar making today...
The stuff they make today is definitely questionable!
Please explain what extras came with the mtech version, nice car.
Old BMWs used to be emotional, classy and beautiful, but now …
Beautiful Classic
Totally agree!
amazing story telling
Thank you very much!
Very cool and beautiful car.bmw .it is a classic good 👍
Yes, definitely a classic!
When BMW was still BMW and not the crap they try to push on us today and for the last 15 years .

Timeless M Series
Timeless indeed!
I know the previous owner.. he drove that car everyday for 30 year... He did did a switcheroo with that dash cluster
The rest of the car sure doesn't look like it's been used everyday. It's still fresh!
Agreed! The upside to this is that with anything mechanical, I prefer that it was used frequently. Any machine left idle for decades might as well be a museum piece or a candidate for expensive overhauls. Fantastic machine and video. Thanks for sharing.@@SharkBlueMedia

They didn't have stickers but they had badges placed on certain trims.
