1985 BMW 3 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 1985 BMW 3 Series for its classic style, comfortable interior, and engaging driving experience. Many appreciate its powerful engine and rear-wheel drive performance. However, a common concern is its tendency to rust due to age, and some mention that it requires regular maintenance. Despite its quirks, many would recommend it to enthusiasts."
The first AWD made by BMW. First series, special edition with Blue Leather interiors and Climate control. 5 Speed Manual
February 29, 2008Great car while I was in high school. Perfect daily driver. As any older car, was a nickel and dimer... had to stay on top of the minor things. Most work done was on normal wear items. I was sad to let this car go, but I couldn't drive it every day while in college. It began to rust in the typical E30 spots, under the tailgate, and on the rocker panels. I would definitely recommend an E30 to any BMW enthusiast,... though if I were to get one again, I would definitely go for a 325is or 318is...
July 26, 2008This car had been sitting in a garage for 7 years when i bought it. They never started it never moved it. I changed the gas and purged the lines put a battery in it stated right up and have been driving it with out a problem. It has and inline 6 engine automatic trans. It is a little slow off the line but has one great top end acceleration. It rides really well. takes corner like you wouldn't believe possible from a rear wheel drive. fully loaded and only has 108,*** miles

December 8, 2009Very low milage car (57,000 km as of today), wow Acceleration is OK, braking could be better, but the looks is awsome. Recaro seats, M looks, BBS wheels (15 inch) All original!! Hope to race a vintage race soon!!! In the mean time, very fun to drve around....
December 30, 2008I bought it from a neighbor whose husband passed away in 1998 and the car sat for 10 years. The body is cherry and the engine is great. Excellent acceleration, even for an e-class. Engine is quiet. It handles better than my friends Porsche 911 and is almost as quick. I have to thank the good people at BMW for creating The Ultimte Driving Machine. I will never drive anything but BMW's ever again.
December 17, 2008car pays for itself...has lasted 25 years, and does fine with gas consumption, drives like its the 1980s. The car is a little old and needs TLC every now and again, but overall, the car drives great, everything works and is an enjoyable ride.
