What do you have?

....we also had the insane 333i, with the engine out of a 730i..

Hope you still have it 🙏🇿🇦

Anyone know what exhaust it is? The one I bought my 325e with sounds disgusting.

+Fernde09 That's what we're doing. Each of us is wearing a lav, and the levels are balanced between us. The car is so loud though, that there was nothing we could do.

+TheSmokingTire If you apply more attenuation to the lavs you can cancel out more surrounding sounds

+TheSmokingTire Have you tried knocking down the sub 100hz frequencies in the mix, that would help a lot with the audio, it's the bass drone that kills the vocal track, I turned off my subwoofer that handles everything below 100hz and it was much clearer.

+Jackson La Mar I don't even know what that means.

+TheSmokingTire He's saying that on a graphic equalizer (audio EQ) to turn down the bass around 100hz (150 would be better), to get rid of that engine's boominess in the audio.

Blake's Garage 😂😂😂 Just got one for $100

Hey Blake, I dream of an E30 as my first car but the cars are getting more pricey at an exponential rate. How do you find one for so cheap?

Blake's Garage e30 m3 20000$

I know right!? And I thought I _stole_ a rust free manual IX coupe at $900. For $50, he basically bought a pair of the American bumpers and the rest of the car just happened to get thrown in with them.

Riley Bousfield Washington Oregon area has some cheap e30s

+Chris Sorred Okay. Great.

+Boni Hollóssy Excellent

shiconia Fantastic.

+Chris Sorreda I think it's acceptable with classics, which this counts as. But like shitty loud hot hatches or modded normal cars, yeah...

+Chris Sorreda Who cares about what you're thinking? What the hell?!

+Ze Germanz ehm... not really

+Gravstein A fart pipe on a slow car...kinda the definition of rice.

+Ze Germanz At least it doesn't sound like a honda.

*****​ Care to elloborate? I wasn't bashing his car I love the E30 and like that he has done some tasteful mods, was just pointing out like he did in the video that the car is very loud. Since it is not got a high output (in terms of WHP) there is no real reason for it to be loud other than the kid wanted a loud exhaust, nothing wrong with that at 16-17 I did the same thing then quickly realised it only really appeals to young girls and everybody else thinks your an asshole. A fart pipe/cannon/can whatever you want to call it is a bit of a ricer thing and its a little sad to see it on an E30.

TrickTube wholly shit 😲

Madam I'm Adam. Too hot to hoot. A Toyota's a Toyota. Never Odd or Even. If I had a hi-fi. Was it a car or a cat I saw?

A palindrome

his engine is not built its mofe like assembled, he has stock 25+ year internals..consider that the engine design and computer are very old so in order to achieve any power safely and reliably is to fork up the cash for aftermarket ecu which is as much as the s5x engines. I wont get into powerbands and driver feels of turbo vs N/A with this type of car. also traction is an issue with these cars under power, rear trailing armlife.. you dont need big power with these cars. 250-300 is more then enough. cheers

+zombiecheef true. I wouldn't suggest more than 300 to the wheels with these lol. they're stupid light. but built in the sense that he has heads cams mad injectors etc. I'm sure they did studs n stuff, so I mean it would be fun to boost and keep light weight. I personally can't wait for my e30. most likely gonna put an m50/52 in there though

+im Schwaggy just gotta "Finnish" my e36.

+im Schwaggy www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=233682 An M20 is not that much lighter than an M5X/S5X

+im Schwaggy Why not go whit S54 or S38 :)

75hp Golf IV here, saving up for something sporty.If I really kick it I can get it to move comparetively well, but it's a fight and not the fun kind.

+daniel0663 Understandable, but I imagine you could at least improve the rotors and pads from stock which is all you really need on a 2500lb car. It's a common theme in the one-take videos I've seen, most people add power and leave their brakes stock.

+trbsu most people don't go to track days, most people don't even really drive the canyons that much. My quick drives in many of these cars is the hardest they are ever driven. Following that knowledge, these owners never even push their stock brakes to the limits, and will get more pleasure out of 50 extra HP than they would from bigger brakes.

+TheSmokingTire Fair enough, since it sounds like most of the one takes are DDs that see occasional spirited driving. I ask since my personal mods list usually begins with brakes and ends with power, but I guess I'm a bit strange. Although, spending money and adding power to a DD that's rarely driven hard seems strange too.

The latest issue of super street went over this. Like Matt said, most people want an extra 50-100hp when compared to spending money on brakes. Nice pads and vented rotors are All most ppl want

+trbsu Whether you have 100hp or 500hp, it takes the same amount of braking to stop from whatever speed. Most of the cars on this show are just modified to satisfy some addiction and not for tracking. Tires are a better place to spend money for better braking than the brakes for most uses. Unless you are running up and down public mountain roads at 10/10ths (which would make you a moron) Anything more than upgrading the pads and fluid is a waste for street driven cars.

+Kameron Baker I second this notion

+Kameron Baker The man the myth the legend with the e30 from reno. I follow you on IG bro. Welcome back to m20.

+Kameron Baker is a legend. Kid knows what he's doing.

+Kameron Baker right! caught that too.. lol but i think he meant with regards to the stiffness of suspension. More power will just compound the all the effects that the car currently exhibits. Not that theres anything wrongw ith a daily turbo driver

+Charles Doyle unless you go all out there are quite a few weak links that high hp exposes. Snapping the rear axle bolts halfway back from bimmerfest 4hrs from home can ruin your day;)

Might be slow in a straight line, but a good driver can put these around a track faster than your avg track day driver. Also these cars don't need upgraded brakes. Stock holds up just fine and is what the SpecE30 race cars use.

+mvpatrone So a good driver will be faster than an average driver... very novel information there...

All I'm saying is that they are fast in the corners. With a good driver, the lack of power doesn't make a difference, because it's the handling that makes this car. Appreciate the sass.

mvpatrone Yeah, only reason I said brakes next is because I am assuming he wants to build more power!

+Tyler Dowd i own an e30 all its all about the driving experience and really feeling the turns hahah

Some are saying it's too loud, others saying too quiet. The levels are the same as always for us.

+TheSmokingTire All the whiners about the audio quality and how many fps on your channel really grinds my gears... There's fuck all wrong with the quality of your one takes, Matt. I can always see and hear you (and the cars) just fine!

+Iain Murray You need to get your ears checked.

+Randoom i see other ramdom videos and the volume its just fine but the thesmokingtire ones i have to put much effort to ear anything... :(

+TheSmokingTire yeah I have to up my volume to a 100% and sometimes I want more volume.Weird.

That's too bad but doesn't mean I won't say it.

+TheSmokingTire ...hey Matt, good morning ! just a quick thank you from a proud dad. your continued involvement in motorsports and enthusiast cars is exactly what is needed to keep the youngest generation interested in building and tinkering on cars built with their own sweat, labor and funds, keep up the great work ! "ryans dad"

+jb jeb thanks for coming down and sharing with us!

+BurnDuration Lol, is kind of shitty to say, but there isn't much to the car.

+pravesh lollman Better call the whaambulance

+pravesh lollman Audio is totally inverted R/L and F/R. I pay for Drive+. I'm done supporting them if this is the material they produce.

+Jacob Summers This isn't drive + dummy

Jacob Summers This is TST ... not drive+

+detaart +Matt Close No, duh. Regardless, I would expect to see at least a moderate improvement in basic audio quality/recording equipment. It's been months of apologizing for poor audio quality. But on a side note; I strongly advise against paying for +Drive +. They haven't released a video in forever. $4/mon. is a waist of money. I regret subscribing to that.

+Patrick Carta 150whp. factory quotes bhp

+Patrick Carta That depends which norm are they using wheels horse power or crank horse power Some of them were restricted, cause of California emission limits, but with this mods He has about 200HP. He has 150HP @WHEELS.

+Patrick Carta The 325e uses the low-revving "eta" engine which was built for "efficiency". Only 120 something bhp @ about 4000rpm. It was available in both the US and Europe. You can put a regular 325i head on it and get a nice stroker with the low down torque of the "e" and the power of the "i".

Valentin Nadolu I never heard of the 325e models, I guess they never sold them here.

+Patrick Carta E30's run at about 25% drivetrain loss so he would be running 200hp at the flywheel, add to that, the year of his car is a LOT lighter than the E30 M3 and he would be able to paste one in the straight line

No one has offered an E30 M3 for a review. I think they are cool but, like a lot of old 911's, not worth the money they are commanding

Commented too soon..he did indeed drive from SD
