All props to jack, humble as can be. Cars an absolute diamond inside and out, and the noise is beautiful. Would love to see this at a few shows in the future. Big ups
Ah god in my area I've been hearing people revving their engines late night (around 12am to 2am)on some Saturdays or Sundays. Honestly really annoys but thankfully I haven't heard anything for a few weeks now.
Heard this In person no video will ever do it justice. The sound is another world. Great car owner is a legend. Could have gone big power but chose to be different
Hands down the best engine soundtrack I love the fact the car has been built with such care and that noise is soooooo much better than any turbo or super charger cracking build Jack and congratulations Toby the best car channel ever for smashing 200k Subs 😍😍😍😍👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Don't agree with you on the sound Don't like the crackling sound at all. If I was him I would supercharge it. Then it sounds way better and way way more power and more drivable then it is now
I completely agree. That straight 6 tone is addictive. Here in South Africa this car has a cult following. Even some special one-off builds specifically for the SA market. One of the greatest models ever
Then why build it then I know people build cars for different reasons but to me you build it to abuse it my opinion may change when I get my licence and start building my own car
@@alexcantlow2920 there is a big difference in a build that takes a few months and one that takes five years, You will understand the difference one day.
Big thanks to Jack for bring down his awesome E30, top guy! Hope you guys enjoy this one put quite a bit into it! Any E30 fans in the house? Let me know below yo! More goodness inbound this week stay tuned! Cheers ML
Awesome e30👍👍👍. I had one almost identical but sold it a while back and was built on a 318is chassis. Same color and interior the only cosmetic difference were the door handles, wheels and rear spoiler. I had the mtech II rear spoiler and I had a different front lip. My motor was the m20 bored out with forged internals, arp hardware, 10.1-1 compression ratio. Same gearing. I custom made my short shifter. Also the displacement was 2.8l. Made 242 at the wheels. I was lucky enough to get a set of itb for the car. Also I used the fuel injection from a m50 without vanos. The first m50s. With that I had custom programmable dme, knock sensors, individual coils and I used a miller war chip to tune it. The redline was set to 7800 rpm. It was a sweet sounding car. Haven’t heard anything like it until I got my 04 M3. And The wheels were TSW evo -r they look a lot different and better than the standard evo. They are nla like most e30 stuff. I just happen to fix BMWs and have for over 25 years. I had more time in the car than cash if I added my hours multiple by my shop rate. All in I had $5700 in the car. Most was the motor. Which I built myself. I learned to build motors by building nascar cup motors. 8000 rpm pushrod with 358cid 800+ hp on a 850cfm carburetor. Those e30 parts are ridiculous what they cost and I painted it myself. I traded it outright for my 04 M3 with 55k miles on it. The e30 had about 30 on it after the build. Everything was replaced and or upgraded. I don’t remember what breaks you had but I had a wheelwood setup. Awesome e30. I’m glad to see my doppelgänger on the other side of the pond. Absolutely beautiful car with great attention to detail. Just like mine. My goals with cars are to make it better than new or at the least when I do a job it’s right. Thanks for the video Monkey 🐒!!!
Congrats 242whp is a very nice strong for a stroker setup specially a 2.8 with a relatively lowish compression like 10:1. Most of the higher hp M20 builds are around about 10.5-11.1. I'm assuming you used the 885 head? What sort of head work did you undergo these can be very finicky with porting especially on the intake side or so I've heard
@@DR-ld4jn hahahaha he forgot to tell you that after he woked up he was sweting like a pig,brutal imagination he has,242whp ahahaha,come on dude start writing a faretails.
@@DR-ld4jn He definitely didn't make 242 at the wheels, my 11.8:1, 2.85L with fully forged lightweight internals, proper CNC head work by the man Rama (The creator of RHD) himself, oversized valves and fully rebuilt head, ITB's, 288 cam, RHD's lightest flywheel, also on sequential injection etc etc just made around 240 at the wheels. 240 is near impossible stretch for anything under 11:1. It also DEFINITELY was not revving to 7800. My engine is peaky as hell with a massive camshaft and it stopped making power almost dead on 7000, we revved it to 7600 for extra revs (Longer gears, also puts you higher in the rev range for the next gear) but there certainly wasn't any power benefit.

What a car!! I live in oxshott and that slip lane at 11:05 onto the A3 is the best !!! You should try out the road from leatherhead up to headly court and the roads around box hill, if you go at night you can see if cars are coming and when you know the roads it'll be some of the best driving you'll have in that car!
So so hard to squeeze out hp/tq out of a naturally aspirated block, but with 207hp it looks really handy . I have to say you’re one dedicated builder. Nice job finding him Monky.
Well done mate!!! One of the best E30s I have ever seen in my life!!! Super clean, very nice work on it, a gem!!! The only thing that I didn't like is the extension in the back lights, but that's personal opinion and it doesn't spoil the SO GREAT end result!!! Congratulations and enjoy it every day (we did through the video)!!!
Beautiful car and I do love the sound of an NA M20 on ITB's, it's a treat to hear and very rare. Do NOT rev your M20 if you have stock rockers to 8000 rpm. The make some ridiculously expensive $1000 billet one's but it's just too much money to spend on an M20 in my opinion. I set my rev limiter to 6800-7000 rpm fuel/ignition cut. with a 288 Schrick cam, 2.7 super eta bottom, 2.5is head(fully rebuilt in my kitchen)intake. No distributer and running wasted spark, GM corvette coils, mustang injectors(oh the irony), Home made MegaSquirt setup that has an adapter board I soldered inside the stock ecu shell which also has the upgraded bosch ignition drivers with a huge heat sink, it's very nice that it plugs into the stock harness. (I have full write up on how I made my stand alone engine management on RvLimited and E30Tech) It took some time to get the idle right in all Washington weather with a cam that aggressive, but I got it to pass emissions without doing a dyno day or even getting the dang wideband 02 sensor to work. Lots of fun to learn how to tune the car with live datalogging on the laptop while driving to work, :). Running MSIIExtraBeta firmare. Massively lightened single mass flywheel, fresh sacs clutch, 3.73 LSD rear end. EiBach springs, Bilstein dampers, Ansa cat back exhaust. Ski pass through seat, single 12" alpine type R in a ported box I designed that passes through the rear shelf, I cracked my windshield... (It's the problem with being an engineer) Car weighs a lot in my configuration, but it's a blast to drive, and the homies at the bus stops always give me the thumbs up if I drop some Project Pat on them. It's a four door, it's fun, E30's are amazing chassis. It's also now emissions exempt and eligible for collector car plates with no tabs in my state. Here is a video of my E30, sorry for the radar detector noise, it was filmed in front of the court house when I was much younger...rofl th-cam.com/video/P3M6W1Qzqvc/w-d-xo.html
Worked at bmw for a few years, and never heard a bimmer sound so sweet 👌 top effort to him, went for driving experience over big power got my respect 👊
Probably one of my favourite reviews you’ve down that’s such a beautiful car the interior and engine look perfect and the body work once give a full repeat or paint touch up would be perfect as well
Feelings mutual haha, different experience with head phones / decent stereo so much sound experience lost on phones. Maybe should put a disclaimer before these videos 😅
@@reeslodge24 Fuck, even the toy cars are cheaper in the UK... lol But yeah, the E30 prices in Norway are pretty crazy these days, a semi decent 316 can go for as much as 5kgbp (norwegian currency is a bit different, taxes and all that jazz), and good standard 325i E30's can go for as much as 20kgbp, and way beyond (there's currently a 320iS m-tec2 for sale for 37kgbp). Not to mention the E30 M3's! There's a road legal Rally E30 that is being sold for 55000gbp atm.. What kind of cars can you get for that kind of money in the UK?
If you want so.ething that will get waaaay more respect from old bmw and the E30 communities, GET AN E24!! They are stunning and can sounds just as good!
I'd take it over M2 any day. No electric throttle, no electric steering, NA screamer instead of turbo. But the nerves required to deal with restoration are immense, subpar workmanship, paint shop damaging my expensive Recaro's... it can drive you absolutely crazy. I know I can never have one of these, because I'm never dealing with those guys again.
Sensational! I'm swapping an m30b35 engine/trans into an e30.I love Jack's I.T.B.'s.Love & respect from Brisbane, Australia.I had an eargasm listening to this!
Nice one indeed, Jack! I did similar things in my days, drove the E30 for 16 years, sold Europe a thousand E30 cruise controls to enthusiasts like us and miss the little BMW a lot esp. when I see yours! Congrats! :)
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts It's not. It's a M20B25 with an Alpina head. Alpina only ever done a 2.7l in the C1 E30. You can tell it's an M20 from the metal valve cover, the SOHC and the lack of a VANOS solenoid. The M52 Alpina used was bored out to 2.8 in the B6 E36, the B3 E36 was 3.0l , and the B3 E36 3.2 was bored out to 3.2l. :) But the obviously if you had listened to the video, you would have heard him say it's a M20 at 2:45 🤷
A nice M20 on full song is properly nice! I had a 1981 323i E21 with some kind of aftermarket exhaust and that M20 rasp when the cam comes on song is just pure straight-six bliss!
Just finished rebuilding my e30 325is this summer and Its my favorite car by far. I also own a e92335i which is loads of fun but nothing beats the nimble and precise e30 chasis.
@@imnota not if you drive on normal roads, Imagine all the dirt and dust, sand ecc i would save such a good engine with a good filter. I Indeed Hope the owner usually drive with filter
@@tommasofossati5123 I'm sure you would be surprised. That's all I have to say, I'm not trying to argue, but you would be surprised by how many people never had problems.
I'm not into BMW's except E30s, and it's the best E30 i've seen yet. This is a truly awesome build. I totally agree on the fact you don't need 700hp to have fun, especially if your car sings and pops like that. Better have a slow car you can fully exploit than a racecar you can't blast with on the road.
Naturally aspirated engines sound amazing and that car is a stunner
Especially when they have individual throttle bodies 👌😎
All props to jack, humble as can be. Cars an absolute diamond inside and out, and the noise is beautiful. Would love to see this at a few shows in the future. Big ups

Worked at bmw for a few years, and never heard a bimmer sound so sweet 👌 top effort to him, went for driving experience over big power got my respect 👊
1:30 George Orwell was right about London at least.
he was right about lot of things in that book
He was spot on, this covid is all about control, the people saying stay at home are saying 2+2=5 the brain washing is real
I love how the car is a little more subdued regarding power. That engine bay is BEAUTIFUL
Opens Google searches E30 BMW for sale. Great review 🙉
*looks att e30 prices* OH FUCK THATS EXPENSIVE!
@@rampage3337 Pretty much all 90's cars have gone up in price. Should have bought a few while they were cheap and dry stored them.
rampage the sneaky lil bitch the M3 is the regular pedestrian ones are cheap
Buy mine
@@giancarlosalads7205 pedestrians walk
Probably one of my favourite reviews you’ve down that’s such a beautiful car the interior and engine look perfect and the body work once give a full repeat or paint touch up would be perfect as well
That car is an absolute snack😍😍😍

The amount of time he must of spent on this is amazing! He has such an attention to detail. It does not need more POWER the noise is enough
***No necks were snapped in the filming of this video***
Absolute bonkers! Your vid aswell as Jack for his fabulous bimmer deserve thumbs up and many, many credits for such a great work! Just love it!
Just sitting here listening with my earbuds and all of my body is tingling i mean ALL of my body
Feelings mutual haha, different experience with head phones / decent stereo so much sound experience lost on phones. Maybe should put a disclaimer before these videos 😅
@@monkylondon Never realised how much it's better with headphones.
Smashing out quality content so far this year, love it.
Sick E30! And the combo of the exhaust & ATB’s! 😍
I would drive it everywhere in bang bang mode!!
I would bang bang wallop Bing bang bong me lady in it 😂😂😂😂😂 😉😉 😎😎
I NEED some BBS Turbo fans in my life once I buy an E30! I love the period look. Too sick.
Such a gem of a car, it shows that he's been working on it for 5 years!
How are the E30 prices in the UK currently?
Pretty solid tbf, clean ones all over the place deffo started to appreciate
yep defo going up. you can still get a fairly solid one for under £4k but the m sport ones are £8k+
I got a toy e30 from a car boot for 55p so not sure what you lot are on about
@@reeslodge24 Fuck, even the toy cars are cheaper in the UK... lol
But yeah, the E30 prices in Norway are pretty crazy these days, a semi decent 316 can go for as much as 5kgbp (norwegian currency is a bit different, taxes and all that jazz), and good standard 325i E30's can go for as much as 20kgbp, and way beyond (there's currently a 320iS m-tec2 for sale for 37kgbp). Not to mention the E30 M3's! There's a road legal Rally E30 that is being sold for 55000gbp atm..
What kind of cars can you get for that kind of money in the UK?
@@Berserkir79 could get a pretty decent porsche for 55k, or like 3 e46 m3's
Awesome build. That exhaust sound is crazy !!
aaaaand E30s just went up in price
Pff like all the attainable old cars i loved forever..
If you want so.ething that will get waaaay more respect from old bmw and the E30 communities, GET AN E24!! They are stunning and can sounds just as good!
@@killersof10 ive got manual e60 530i twin disa intake
@@killersof10 and i say get an e23 if you can't afford a nice e24
I'd take it over M2 any day. No electric throttle, no electric steering, NA screamer instead of turbo. But the nerves required to deal with restoration are immense, subpar workmanship, paint shop damaging my expensive Recaro's... it can drive you absolutely crazy. I know I can never have one of these, because I'm never dealing with those guys again.
This is the absolute best e30 I've seen
Yup I agree
its amazing! and the interior freshens is just super cool! i love the clean look of m2 Technic ,for this car is like art !
"The trumpets they go"
"Bwaaaaah!"
Sensational! I'm swapping an m30b35 engine/trans into an e30.I love Jack's I.T.B.'s.Love & respect from Brisbane, Australia.I had an eargasm listening to this!
the best sounding e30 wow !!
That security guard yelling at you was ridiculous. Car is sick!
ML killing it with the content in 2019!!
Nice one indeed, Jack! I did similar things in my days, drove the E30 for 16 years, sold Europe a thousand E30 cruise controls to enthusiasts like us and miss the little BMW a lot esp. when I see yours! Congrats! :)
What a lovely car and a perfect owner to honour it aswell, Great video as always mate.
Dream car. Clean, original look, attention to small details, just a good driver. Thats perfect.
Beautifuly Built , amazing sound track , jetttttttt-A-sonic
This is my favourite car out of everything you've featured😭😍that sound!
Listen to the sound of that! M20 Poweeeer!
BkS Media it’s an m52
@@connoisseuroftigolbitts It's not. It's a M20B25 with an Alpina head. Alpina only ever done a 2.7l in the C1 E30. You can tell it's an M20 from the metal valve cover, the SOHC and the lack of a VANOS solenoid. The M52 Alpina used was bored out to 2.8 in the B6 E36, the B3 E36 was 3.0l , and the B3 E36 3.2 was bored out to 3.2l. :)
But the obviously if you had listened to the video, you would have heard him say it's a M20 at 2:45 🤷
All that work and he keep it so small. Should of gone s50 or s52 crank.
Awesome vid and awesome car, dude put a lot of time and effort into that car. The smiles that come with the sound of ITB's Is incredible !
Amazing, best I’ve seen !!!
That induction sound and "bang bang mode". This is a treat to hear.
I've got a soft spot for E30s as I own one as a project car myself. This one is beautiful 💜🎺
ML with the 🔥 edits
A nice M20 on full song is properly nice! I had a 1981 323i E21 with some kind of aftermarket exhaust and that M20 rasp when the cam comes on song is just pure straight-six bliss!
10:55 that's pretty similar to the raspiness from the M20B23 in the E21 323i!
This is naughty!!! Much Nom Nom, loving these vids dude keep em coming!
Great build! Sounds amazing! Nice work!
Just found your channel. I'd love to hear you rev match and downshift more. It's one of the best engine noises possible.
That rev matching at 4:15 was absolutely beautiful
Im sad because a decent E30 cost 17k£ where i live
Just finished rebuilding my e30 325is this summer and Its my favorite car by far. I also own a e92335i which is loads of fun but nothing beats the nimble and precise e30 chasis.
Sick !
I soooo wish I still had my E30's 😭😭😭
Same here had 2 1991 318i 2 318ic. Edit:oh and had a 1990 325ic also ..depressing I know
Lovely car mate. A true passion wagon. Well done Jack and John 👍🏻
nom nom nom nom nom
That's how you do an E30. The Turbofans are the icing on the cake. Beautiful
E30 things, well you have attention.
He can be really proud about this build, great color and well balanced.
How long does your engine last without air filter? #nofilter Is Just an Instagram thing man hahah
You'd be surprised how little it affects the engine.
@@imnota not if you drive on normal roads, Imagine all the dirt and dust, sand ecc i would save such a good engine with a good filter. I Indeed Hope the owner usually drive with filter
@@tommasofossati5123 I'm sure you would be surprised. That's all I have to say, I'm not trying to argue, but you would be surprised by how many people never had problems.
WOW that sound!
Love it! 18 dislikes!! Must all be gay.
I'm not into BMW's except E30s, and it's the best E30 i've seen yet. This is a truly awesome build.
I totally agree on the fact you don't need 700hp to have fun, especially if your car sings and pops like that. Better have a slow car you can fully exploit than a racecar you can't blast with on the road.
Keeping busy 🐒, nice! Fancy reviewing my Garage Mak S15😎
Yes I do bud, wondered who bought that nice. Can you message me on Facebook page bro? facebook.com/MONKYLONDON
MONKY LONDON 😎
Kreation PAYD Gotta wait for the sunstrip to be fitted first 😂😂 (Nathan @ SaitoWorks)
Wow nice... did you know the South African E30 325is variant uses a 2.7 motor and pushed out a neat 155KW.. its highly sort after and rare..
Yess!! The 2.7 325Is just made in SA..thought this one was a real import or something..
Only thing wrong with it is the steering wheel is on the wrong side
Firstly I love the car, ITB's mostly. But I just friggin love hove humble this guy is. Good job and keep on!
"OMG, this car is awesome"
*sees the steering wheel on the right side*
"Oh, no, it's retarded"
good to see my man Jack getting the recognition he deserves top car and top bloke
SEXUAL...
Never been a massive BMW fan to be honest, but this video has changed my mind lol. Thats one gorgeous car, sounds amazing! Keep up the good work ML 👌
Gay music
YES jack! so nice to see it done. top work mate, you should be proud 👍
Cool but too loud for my taste
Absolutely beautiful car! So tastefully done. I'm glad you did a review on this beauty.
💯 best car review you have done this year man ..... keep this style dude 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
honestly one of the best cars you've on ML. thing looks just so nice to drive
Lovely work I hope you keep it always...it doesn't get any better than this
Editing on point, the car is beautiful, what a lovely sound it makes
i love this car, oem plus with some tasteful mods and tuning, not to low, lsd... building a e30 now will be m42 but this is inspirational
I was never a big E30 fan but I do like this one, nicely done!
What a beautiful E30! Lovely Review, best BMW have seen so far! Great video!
OMG the color combo, the turbos, the ITB's... what a sick build!
turbos? naturally aspirated engine
