This next feature seems too good of a deal to be true – not when you consider how hot the market for the E30 M3 has been in the past year. It is either the case of someone who is simply behind the times in how much people want and are willing to pay for […]
The E30 M3 is one of those cars that has recently made the jump to collector status, and basic running/drive examples in good shape trade in the $30k range. While you might not really want an example that has been sitting in a garage and covered in dust, you are gonna think twice about this […]
This next feature could be a good deal for someone looking for a project, or it could be a total waste of time from a seller who thinks he has some kind of rare artifacts for sale. The problem is that the seller doesn’t list a price, but the collection of cars certainly look cool […]
What do you do when a small rodent dies in your car’s ventilation system and starts emanating the rotten funk of decaying flesh? As anaerobic organisms begin to consume the poor little whiskered fellow’s remains, they produce a variety of noxious compounds including methane, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. Your minty fresh BMW M3 suddenly becomes […]
If you love the screaming S14 four banger in the E30 M3 but shy away from its boy racer box flares and 2-door only configuration, then perhaps a trip to Italy is in order. In order to avoid VAT and higher vehicle taxes for engines exceeding 2.0 liters, BMW created a de-stroked version of the […]
The BMW E30 323i was not exported to North America, so we yanks never got the L-jetronic fuel injected M20B23 inline-6. After 25 years of age, foreign-market cars can be legally imported into the US and this one has reportedly been through the rigorous California BAR certification process and has been 50-state legal for the […]
Regular tipper and SF Bay Area car aficionado Kaibeezy sent us a tip on a nice looking E30 BMW 3-series with a later M3 engine swapped into the front…but then he sent us two similar cars and we were presented with a dilemma. Which S50/S52 swapped E30 do we feature…and logically the answer is all […]
Sometime in the last decade the BMW E30 M3 market took a huge leap from what you’d expect to pay for a 200 horsepower ’80s BMW drift machine to insane air conditioned garage queen prices. There is nothing wrong with a classic car finding its market audience and appreciating, but it seemed to leave behind […]

It is no secret that the Daily Turismo staff are fans of both wagons and E30 BMWs, but the combination is indeed a rare sight on this side of the Atlantic Ocean. The BMW E30 Touring was never sold new in the US Market, but BMW sold a number over in the continent as late […]
The BMW 325e was an E30 variant created to offer greater fuel economy from the small six cylinder engine, the e was an abbreviation for the greek letter eta, or “engineering speak” for efficiency. The eta version was slower than a standard 325, but its low compression engine offers supple off idle torque and is […]
