I purchased an e30M3 in 1993. I had my original pristine 40k mile street 91 model for a decade and then sold it in favor of a track rat when it was at 160k miles. I had my 88 track machine for another six years until I went to drive the 1M in Germany and my e30m3 was in the midst of a motor rebuild. I parted my car for 18k and jumped to the 1M, which BMW " finally got right" according to one of the bozos on a couch.

I watched the e36, e46, and the e90 come out and none of them made me want to get rid of my e30M3. I have driven all four on track and the e30m3 is simply sublime while the other cars vary from great to awesome.

I am absolutely thrilled with the 1M, and looking forward to the M2. I don't believe that BMWs best days are in the past.

That said, while an e30 m3 can be daily driven, it's much better suited as a weekend tourer and canyon. carver. Fans of the bmw six cylinder would Leave it in the garage and take a plebeian e36 or e46 or e90 instead. But then again, those same "BMW fans" don't even know that BMW has ever made fantastic four cylinder motors.


The e30 m3 is absolutely not overhyped. It's absolute magic.
