There's no way you can let that E30 go you'll get such a following with that car! Should sell all the others to fund the E30 and do what you said full strip and rebuild but document every step, you'll get a huge following with all that content!
It's been a real hard decision not to buy this. It's a great base for a rebuild but it needs a lot of time to make perfect. It's the time that's the real issue as it does really need a nut and bolt strip but I agree it would make brilliant content and finished it would be epic!!
The e30 sport is one of my favorite cars of all time, I prefer it over the M3 because of the lovely 6 cylinder engine sound and I also prefer the subtle looks and they look lovely when they are wearing Alpina rims.

We had this conversation the other day regarding driver aids and much we all now think we are such good drivers when really it’s the car doing 90% of the driving for us. It is a very cool car! Another cracking video 👌
We did indeed. As I say for motoring enjoyment we need to go back to the days when the cars were more engaging at slower speeds. I love modern cars but they are so phenomenally fast and the amount of safety equipment makes them very heavy. I'm not sure I have as much fun in them as I do older performance stuff.
CHECK Seat cloth was a TRIUMPH TR7 Standard Fit From 1976. GM ,OPEL / VAUXHALL Used CHECK Seat Trim all Through the 1980's as Did FORD. It Still Looks Great Today.
I think ultimately the car looked better on film then it did on close inspection. I guess that's why I would have wanted to do a full restoration. But yes I would prefer original paint however this car definitely had paint in parts before.
Fully understand that. They are rare and hard to come by now ... But at this moment it's not the right thing for me to buy. I'd have to literally strip it and make it perfect and that's time consuming
@@AllTorque im sure usher will keep it for you should you change your mind 👍 "survivor condition" is a tricky one isn't it, you want to do the car justice which as you say means stripping it and doing a full resto, otherwise a car like this is at risk of being described as a 10 yard car (like mine! 😂) a bit shabby. I personally like seeing tidy but un restored cars, a few battlescars can add character, a look often endorsed by magnus walker the 911 expert/collector. I can't remember the last time i saw or heard an e30 325i sport on the road, such a wonderful machine, for me the epitome of bmw, class. Do you rate the e36 m3 higher than the e30 325i? i imagine its a close call, but the e30 is beautifully proportioned, aggressive, germanic and just right from any angle as you say. 👍 please keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you. It was close .. and I do regret it now a little BUT I was right at the time and knew it would have been another big project and I'd have wanted to go OTT. Just too much work with everything else I've got going on. Full but and bolt resto is what these deserve.
Got two 88 mod E34 sedans, a little less noisy inside, slightly better put together and a bit more comfortable and a little slower with a couple houndred kg more, adore most the 50s t0 80s BMW, but particularly late 80s BMWs are extremely well made!
@@AllTorque They do sound absolutely amazing! Was close to getting a E36 once, but when I saw it, it just didn't click for me, looked a bit odd, prefer older chassies I found :D
Looks amazing, my e30 325i sport is white, have owned it the last 12 years mtec 2 1990 hounds tooth seats and rear blind. Actually thinking of parting with it now. Will probably regret it.
barn find my arse.. pulled a few 30's out of barns myself, this one has had paint and a front end, deffo not original mtech 2 kit, too twisted and gappy.. not questioning that its a tech 2 but its not original, interior looks good, been pulled apart but what 30 hasn't? gotta be soo carful when buying these cars, sure they can be flipped to unsuspected buyers but for anyone making an investment, they need to know their stuff. or get burned :/ still a good project car tho xD. for the right price :P
Well it was definitely found in a barn on the northeast coast along with another very dusty E28 528i. Yes the car has been pulled apart a few times and that was the issue. For me I would have wanted to have spent a fair amount of time putting every right on it. The car ended up selling for £18,000 (Though I was offered it for less)
The Whole e30 Model was Designed around the TRIUMPH DOLOMITE & Dolly Sprint. Park them Side by Side & ask a NON Car Person to Spot the Differences. They Will SAY. SAME CAR , With a VERY SLIGHT Update.
wat a car i had one 325 sport in black , was stolen , but the ultimate is a sport in red with black leather , i would have bought this dolphin grey no hesitation
Used to have one of these in the UK ( 1990 dolphin Grey ) . Sold it when I moved to the USA in 1996. Have fond memories of driving this on the UK roads. Was disappointed that the 325 sport was never sold in the USA and bought a 325is when I moved to the USA.
It's difficult as I genuinely prefer the E36 .. but the 325i Sport is special. I've just got too much on and it would have been a bad decision as I'd want to buy and bolt resto it. I'm being sensible lol
I’m actually very undecided between buying an E36 M3 Evo or E30 325 sport. What would you go for? I prefer the looks of the E30 but I feel the drive of the M3 would be better. What would hold or rise in value more. My budget is £30k so hopefully can get a good one for that.
IF it's an e30 2 dr i /Say /BUY it at whatever Price / Condition. Every e30 is worth Restoring Back to Factory Original.

replacing the old parts is good but that paint is still fine, and the original paint is always better than a respray, isn't it?
I think ultimately the car looked better on film then it did on close inspection. I guess that's why I would have wanted to do a full restoration. But yes I would prefer original paint however this car definitely had paint in parts before.
I don't think i could walk away from that!
Beautiful car, i will probably never get to experience one of these Sadly.
take it easy 👍👍

Drop me a line through Instagram @alltorquemedia I'm always interested in buying older BMWs!
The way the prices are going if ur getting it for decent money buy it up better than putting it in the bank
Beautiful looking car. Greetings from South Africa.
Greetings my friend! Thank you for the kind words.
@@AllTorque My pleasure. God bless

It was very tempting to be honest but just have too many projects on the go and it was a step too far in terms of getting things done.

I love the e30.
Get it bought, wish I'd never sold mine

Cool cars ... if he wants to sell any let me know lol
In South Africa we have a 325is evolution 1 and evolution 2 very special car.
Aren't they nicknamed "panty droppers" over there?
No gusheshe
This looks like a car from SA SOUTH AFRICA
How much did you pay for it
The car sold for around 18k ... I didn't buy it in the end as just felt I had too many projects on the go.
no sorry E38 E39 MOST popular for sure .318is is the best E30 all day ,
