What owners say
"Owners of the 1983 BMW 3 Series generally rave about its performance, handling, and classic build quality. Many appreciate the sporty design and enjoyable driving experience, particularly highlighting its quick acceleration and unique sound. However, some drivers mention issues with fuel consumption and general upkeep due to its age."
Performance was very good, the build quality was exceptional. Didn´t had any repairs in all of the years. The cost of ownership (gas) was acceptable, while the funf factor was really very good. So overall the car was worth all the money
July 17, 2009Classic BMW build quality, fantastic handling (as long as there's no snow) and the sports suspension gives a fantastic feel to an already pokey engine. Great boot size and the compartment is a dream to sit in, nice touch with the electric bucket seats that adjust to grip you snuggly in position.
January 8, 201012/1987 Bmw e30 318i M40B18 G240 Quite simply its a classic. Well, an M3 of that era is a *real* classic, but this is more realistic for a first car. its lightweight and modified with aftermarket shocks, springs, sticky tyres and lightweight racing wheels (boring the non technical people by now) to out-handle most cars half its age (its 21, two years my elder) and is a real driver's car. You cant make others understand the passion until they've given it a thrash down a twisty road. Its fantastic.

July 17, 2008Interior: Basic Exterior Styling: Box type design. Looks sporty with the M3 sports Kit Performance: Quick acceleration with the 'S' more on. Can outrun most of the cars on the Highway Overall Impression: It's a great car. However needs some attention under the hood especially with the engine cooling system under the hot desert sun.
June 13, 2008Performance: nice after 2 Beetles, handling - great Build Quality: great, problems - none Appearance: slim 2 door, angry looking Cost of Ownesship: low gas mileage, little repair costs Fun Factor: this was nice vehicle after 2 Beetles, fine 1.6 ltr engine with 75 bhp
February 25, 2010good car, fast engine. really light, kush interior, lots a back seat space good gas millage if you replace your spark plugs every weekend jokes well not really, has saved my life more than once its defs a transformer p
September 14, 2009Performance is not the best, but the straight six one of the best sounding. Solidly built, heavy &strong. Looks wise its untouchable, havnt seen another that gets as much attention. Puts a massive smile on your face, even though it drinks like an alcoholic.
April 1, 2010its retro and well built and well good to drive alto a bit juicy. its 20 years old and its it better condition than most new cars. and its not made out of plastic, crumple zones what are they this car could last another 20 years.
