Cars that compare to the E30

[E30_Pare]

Cause they never driven an e30 ;)

[Herr Faust Schinken]

Have to disagree. Driven a few Corrado's and while I love them. They (IMO) share very little of the driving dynamics of an E30. Nose heavy FWD behaves drastically different than a well balanced RWD car. Also the curb weight was equal or more depending on the model. The only cars it was lighter than are iX's or iC's. It was close to 300lbs heavier than a 318is.

then why do people always say that they some of the best handling cars ever built?

some of these fit the topic

^ good point on the weight, I was speaking in terms of all the E30 models combined. in terms of power though, the potential is there to possibly make up for that weight but I can't argue your RWD/FWD point either as I've driven them as well

[Nick_S]

although I've never owned one, years ago I was in the VW scene, and saw personally some pretty powerful VR6'. Plus I still want one and curb weight is less than an E30.

The only 2 cars that stick out in my mind are and

[Q5Quint]

haha giggity

under powered, boxy, rwd....

What was the american version of the e30?



awwww yissss 3.8liter supercharged with 210ft-lbs of torques

I could never own one of those bad-boys due to fear of getting blowjayed to death.



Hell yeah~ those special feels!

Apparently these were all the same car along with the firenza:
Buick Skyhawk
Cadillac Cimarron
Chevrolet Cavalier
Pontiac Sunbird

boxy econoboxes. Was the e30 really an econobox though?

A mustang gt was like 13k (17k for the ragtop) in 89, and a e30 was 29k.... holy shit.

yuppie econo box? Maybe. A corvette was 31k back then and I guess a 'better' comparison?

Of course it had a v-8 with 240hp, 335 torque, and apparently tipped the scales at around 3200lbs as well (from the wiki). More of the 'sports car' along with the m3.

You can find them at higher e30 prices~ 3500 or so. Neat and probably faster than a rx7 or fiero.

:p

Side note, I had a 85 4x4 just like this one lol.

[Herr Faust Schinken]

thats a turbo. cheating. They always looked heavy to me, but pretty much the same/a little less than an e30

Turbos are pretty quick and I think they were a little cheaper than an m3, they are supposed to be one of the best handling cars ever built

I know it's already been said but the FC RX7 is a good look especially the turbo version, a lot of the interior bits have same ergonomics as E30s too (Recaro('s), bespoke fabric, driver design etc. too
