4.6 Overall rating(64 reviews)

Performance - braking, handling all very good, acceleration good but not great.
Build Quality - Some parts needed replaced, but it is a 1991
Appearance - BMW e30's look great
Cost of Ownership - gas mileage- 24-35 (93), maintenance- got the car for ~ 1700 spent 1500 on tires brakes and bushings to make it drive like new.
Fun Factor - this is a very fun car to drive on curvy roads, but not in a drag race

The 140bhp 1.9 318iS Coupe is often called the 'Baby M3' and for good reason. It's not too easy to find a good one but when you do it's worth it, trust me!

Overall the e30 is an excellent machine, mine has an upgraded e36 Vader interior from the M3 edition. the oem sport seats are lacking and the normal seats that come in the base are even worse. The car also has upgraded suspension that really gives this old car a great feel. It has been fitted with a custom 4 piston front bbk from the rx7 fc and the stereo from factory is pretty bad, so when installing a new system you need to replace all the speaker wires. the oem system has a common ground and you will not get good performance from a system using the oem wires.
This is one of my favorite cars i have owned out of the 31 in the last 15 years.

Car is amazing to drive. There's really no comparison to driving an E30, there are no blindspots, the car is compact and nimble and has exceptionally responsive steering. Dubbed the baby M3, the 318is was the somewhat affordable alternative to the M-series car. The M42 engine has a strong pick-up and a powerband between ~3800-->4500 RPM. The car turns on a dime too, amazing turning radius.

It is extremely reliable and it still gives great performance for the size of the 1.8 L engine. It is really fun to drive, and all the work on it can be done yourself. Gas miligage could be better, it gives about 20 city 30 highway. Extremely well built and a life long automobile.
