This baby is my daily driver, and a damn fun one at that! Absolutely phenomenal handling ability, being only 1100kg, RWD and having a close-to- 50:50 split for weigh distribution, it really is fantastic Fuel consumption is low too but that is expected of a twin-cam 1.8 4-cylinder - If I'm honest I wish the fuel consumption were a little better but then again I do rev the engine out a lot so I am being a bit unrealistic. Performance in a straight line is not amazing but it definitely feels brisk, the engine absolutely loves to rev and this along with the car's nimble handling makes the car addictive to drive. The powerchip helped a lot in the car's performance - pulls stronger. I do a lot of maintenance work on the car myself too and it is very simple to work on. Parts for this car are cheap and the engine responds well to basic modifications such as chip, exhaust and intake. If I were to complain, its that the engine is more fragile than the M10 powered 318i I used to have before this - I therefore change the oil very regularly, about every 4-5000km. Overall though, amazing car for the age, price and spec.

Performance - acceleration, braking, handling = all perfect. the twin cam engine was a gem. it liked to rev and it sounded like a real engine when screaming at 7000 rpm. the brakes were perfect for the weight of the car. very cheap on petrol and other running costs.

Performance â acceleration is outstanding for a 4 cylinder BMW - the M42 4 cylinder inline DOHC engine is reliable and revs up to 8k rpm with minor tweaks Build Quality is ex cellent as you would expect from a BMW Appearance is beauttifull in BMWs brilliant red and complete with the M Technics 2 aerodynamics package Fun Factor â there is no better fun ride than a e30!
