Launched in July 1975, the first series of cars to bear this name were so enormously successful that they provided the financial bedrock on which the company was able to build throughout the 1980s. Tuning firms soon began to offer improved performance, which BMW later followed up with the 6-cylinder cars. The second generation announced in 1982 had subtle changes to bring them up to date but the major change was the introduction of four-door models in 1983. This book includes road tests, model introductory articles, comparison tests, buying secondhand, long term reports, specification and technical data. Models covered include: 316, 318, 320, 320i, Alpina 320i, 318i, 320iS, 318i Turbo, 323i, 318i 4-door, 316 4-door, M3, M3 Evo, M3 Cabrio, 318i Touring, 318iS.

It is amazing to think that time has passed by and that the second BMW "3 Series" has achieved such status that it warrants this special book on its 21st anniversary. Maybe it is due to the sheer longevity of its design, its ability to satisfy the keen driver or its iconic status - but, whatever it is, there is no doubt that the E30 is one car from the past that will stay with us into the future. It is a pending classic and prices for well kept models have started to escalate; furthermore, there is a core of well cared for cars out there requiring basic attention by their dedicated owners. As a result, there has never been a better time for a book of this sort. By focusing on the common faults which crop up repeatedly and by giving detailed, simple instructions regarding repairs, this book will be uniquely invaluable for owners who wish to try their hand at their own maintenance, especially those who may previously have been prevented from doing so by a lack of technical know-how or specific knowledge.
