The BMW Three Series has long been regarded as the best compact sports saloon on the market, a reputation founded in the mid-1970s with the E21 series and further enhanced through the 1980s and early 1990s with the second generation E30 series.
Combining high quality engineering and superb build quality with plenty of performance from a wide range of four and six cylinder engines, the E30 Three Series saw a significant expansion of body styles, including two and four door saloons, touring estate and full convertible models.
In 318i guise, the BMW was powered by an 1800cc in-line four cylinder engine and was available with either a 5 speed manual or four speed automatic gearbox. Being rear wheel drive the handling and braking were exemplary and this combination provided a great mix between being a spirited driving car with the added benefit of being very economical.
