What is the best year/model for e30 3-series

[einstein57]

airbags cars = no map light, no projectors, pain in the ass to remove cluster, and 50/50 if it has pop outs

I also have a theory that the paint recipe may have changed in 89 or 90 as from my personal experience they seem more prone to rust.

Source? I didn't know this.

I'm not sure what he's talking about, all 325iS were fully optioned from the factory.

1987 325is.

The arches are where they always should have stayed. The taillights are the proper size. And I <3 my 3.73 LSD, even with a slushbox in the tunnel. A set of basic lowering springs, and it'll handle for days over my E36 328is, and it still has the stock struts and shocks from the factory as far as I know.

um, well....that isn't exactly a stock factory car. i think everyone realizes this is beyond the scope of the thread. notice that no one has mentioned m3? but since you are playing that card, you really need to google b6 3.5s.

now....Boom!

Yea I'm confused... Why's everyone calling out air bagged cars? Is there something I'm missing?

the steering wheel looks horrible, more complicated, no added bonus.

'88 325is, as they were fully optioned

87 325is or es. Sport trim packages with small taillights and non-lowered rear arches.

Best bodystyle, especially when facelifted, like mine.

100% this^ lowered arches look like a loaded diaper.

I love how everybody is like "no airbag".

It was BMW's first generation airbag, and it's aged quite a bit.

'88 325is, as they were fully optioned, but '89 325is and '87 325is are close seconds. Say no to airbag cars, IMHO.
