welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods and here's this week's winner, so this isn't BMW 3-series 218i
yes it's old, but it's my Sunday car and I have this car for nearly one
year now, I just love it to the bits, I mean just just look at it, front of this car I
think it just looks amazing especially those headlights Wow, and the
famous kidney grille of course looks brilliant, I've also changed the number
plate so you can see that's the press plate, I'm a big fan of this press plate don't
ask me why but I just love the look of this press plate
ever since I got this car I didn't I didn't really do much with this car
apart from regular servicing, I have serviced the car I've done full service
including rocker cover gaskets, which you can find the video in my channel and
also I have replaced this badge, replaced the wiper and that's about it, I haven't
done any other major work, this is old car of course and you're not gonna get it
perfect I guess, so let's walk around and let me show you guys this car, a little
scratch on the side, bodywork I would say it's good it's not excellent, and rust
wise it's okay I would say, it's building up its not too bad cause normally with e30s
when you go and buy it you would expect a lot of rust in these cars
but this one is in pretty good shape, three owners from new so that's not a
lot and the mileage in this car, it's a 130,000 it's not bad for this age, so when
it comes to interior it's a very nice and simple place to be
every controls are there what you need, and what annoyed me a lot is this car
doesn't really come with aircon, I have actually added a cup holder, so I guess
this adds some few brake horsepowers, so this is pretty handy I got this off from
ebay, so all you got to do is just slide it next to your seat and there you
go there, you have a cup holder comes with a cloth seat, what I've done
is I have put an extra seat cover on this cuz I don't know if you guys
do know it this specific BMWs they're pretty known for ripped seats, they
normally rip round this side of the drivers seat, it's a very common fault to
have and another common fault which I should also mention is they do suffer
from cracking on the dash, so apart from a few
little thing for instance the electric window it don't work and crack on the dash
that's all I have to complain about for this car, it's got an automatic gearbox
it drives very good at decent speed, there's no issue with the gear as well
there's no dash lights everything works in here, this is one thing I love about this
BMW, the way the hood opens I mean just check this out I think it just looks
pretty this way I mean just look at it, this is what I love about those 80s or
90s design there's simply beautiful, here's the
engine of course as I mentioned it's a 2 litre petrol engine, it doesn't really
have any oil leak whatsoever, which you'd normally expect on a BMW and I be honest
with you there was a slight of oil leaked from the rocker cover gasket but
of course I got that replaced, now it's all nice and dry, I have changed the
battery by the way I like the way how it's designed as well
it's nice and simple lines, I've owned quite few BMW in past, I've owned the e46, e90,
F30 and this e30, one of the reason why I do love this car is because
the way it makes you feel when you drive this car and especially this one, this
is where BMW got everything right, I'm a huge fan of the e30 m3 the best thing is
when you have a car like this, you can look back and just think yourself that
you do have some element of an m3 behind you, so about this car and how it drives,
well it's not gonna drive like a new car but when you're driving a classic car like this
there's a different feeling that you get it's amazing, unless you drive one of
these old cars your not going to get it I like the
whole driving experience that's what bmws are known for
the ultimate driving machine, it does pretty good in corners I'll be honest with you some
people might complain that it might roll like a london bus, and of course this
is an old car and being an old car you have to keep that in mind that you don't
have modern technology in this car doesn't have any air bags or abs
so when you're breaking gotta be careful, it doesn't really have a traction
control as well, this means that when you're driving this car it's you who is
driving this car, it's not driven by a computer or anything, it doesn't have
abs, and that's what I like about this cars, cause I
always wanted to own a classic car and this was my opportunity to own one
I have to say it's really nice, cars like this put a smile on your face
I can imagine myself doing thousands of miles in this car and not get bored
you don't really get this car to go fast in corners or to show off your friends
and check this car out it's not what this car is about, this car
is more about having the characteristics that's why I like this car and
that's why maybe there's so many guys out there that enjoy the e30s, I did enjoy
driving around Scottish roads and I have to say they do
have one of the best driving roads, I've been here before but it's just somewhere
where I just want to come again and again and just drive, and for the e30
well I don't know how long I'm gonna keep the e30 for, but until then I just
want to enjoy it, I hope that you guys have enjoyed this video if you have just
