General BMW Mechanical Help sponsored by RM European Auto Parts. BMW Models. Hello everyone. I am about to own my first BMW ever. It's a 87 325IS with about 200k miles, 5pd. E30 is something I've always drooled on since high school. I did search for common problems, but all I notice is some idling problem that seems to be common in this car.
It wouldn't work, I'm afraid. The design of modern cars follow trends, trends set by focus groups and polls, included in these are 'throwback' designs. You'd also lose a lot of modern benefits against your modern models. Something E30 shaped today would get terrible economy.
