The BMW E30 M3 is one of the most worshiped cars in the history of cars and it totally deserves the attention it gets. But on the other side, this leaves the other hidden gem of the E30 family in the dark shadow of its big brother.
We are talking about the 325i version, which is the most potent version of the E30 this side of the homologation special M3.
Using a straight six 2.5-litre with around 170hp, the 325i was never meant to stand out, but rather offered all the necessary bits to help the driver in exploring the brilliance of the chassis and enjoy one throaty engine.
Jason Cammisa of Motor Trend shows us why the BMW E30 325i is the car to go after finishing the eulogy of the E30 M3. He even brings his own gorgeous wagon for a thrash on the track against its modern successor in the form of a 340i.
Cheap, reliable and an absolute delight to drive, the E30 325i deserves more attention than it gets and this video gives you the answer to the why, in case you needed more evidence.
