ive owned a ton of E30s, since 1992, and a shitload of other BMWs in the meantime...

two E36 M3s, one E21 320iS, one E46 M3, one E46 325iT, one E46 325xi, one E46 323i, one E34 540i, and a few other randoms, and nothing has come close to the handling and style of the always faithful E30 325is.

ive had the urge, recently, to pick up an E28, just for the sake of practicality, but thats really the only thing that attracts me to them... they look like a giant E21 with 4 doors.

i have two kids, so it seems logical that i should own one... but, unless you're a parent, or a big fat dude, i really see no point in owning one, when there's lighter, faster and arguably cooler looking options for the same money.

+1. The E30 325is was a high water mark for BMW. I even like mine better than my old E30 M3 2.5. Great all around car.

What about the E28 M5? There is arguably no cooler or more raw sport sedan in existence.

The M5 is a whole different ballgame in my eyes, but they're 5x more money than most e28s around here. I looked at e28s when in the process of buying my e30, they are cheap and readily available around here but for me they're too big and squishy. note: I did not drive any 'is' or 'm' models.

i agree.. the e28 M5 (especially the euro version) is one of the coolest cars ever made.


a long time ago, when i was having an E30 serviced at a dealership, they loaned me an E28 for a couple of days. i really really liked it, but i couldnt wait to get my car back!
