About this generation
An eighties cultural icon that introduced four-door sedans, the Touring wagon, all-wheel drive, and timeless boxy style.
Launching in 1982, the E30 expanded the 3 Series into a global phenomenon. It introduced four-door sedan, factory convertible, and Touring estate variants, alongside the all-wheel drive 325iX. Its twin round headlights and clean profile represent eighties design perfection.
Powered by smooth M20 six-cylinder engines or frugal four-cylinders, the E30 earned universal acclaim for its tactile steering feel, light curb weight, and durable engineering. It remains one of the most beloved BMW models ever built in enthusiast circles.
