Hey Nick! I’m a huge fan! I took over my mom’s (1 owner) 1986 325e. I’ve actually been driving it since brand new when I was a teenager. If I shoot a vid, will you watch and comment? It’s all stock with the exception of the upgraded BBS wheels (I have the original bottle cap wheels), 4 doors, and automatic 😞. 128k original miles.

Holy cow! I'm watching this video and think..."that looks like Blair TN!', and then you turn at Blair and start down the road toward what used to be the K25 plant, paralleling the railroad line I've ridden many times in the past. You should shoot a second video on White Wing Road. Awesome curvy BMW road if ever there was one! Like I tell my friends, you can't understand the attraction of the E30 until you drive one, and then you're hooked. I've got two of them. A 1985 325e and a 1987 324is.LOVE EM!

I’m the 2nd owner of a1985? BMW 325 e. Same car 🚘 as this except mine is red and unfortunately automatic. Hugs the road perfectly and fun to drive and be seen driving. Only complaint is breaking takes effort and maintenance is very very expensive and In 2021 they do require a moderate amount of maintenance. Mine is cherry 🍒 ! I’m very proud.

Great content, made me nostalgic for my old 1988 528e, same engine and same driving dynamics except in a lager saloon. My very first time driving a BMW was as a 16 year old valet, parking high end German iron at summer resort hotel. Never forget my first Bavaria sedan, with its strange unadorned dashboard and amazing engine and clutch, all working in this fantastic harmony of driver and machine. I was like, holy shit, who designed this?

@Wasabi9111 2 жыл бұрын

Growing up, my dad had a 1985 528e. He loved that car. It was so fuel efficient, even compared to the other fuel efficient Japanese cars we had in the 80s. Even tho I was about 10, my dad would me drive it out of our long driveway and I remember the clutch was so stiff compared to the other Japanese cars we had. The onboard computer was so futuristic compared to everything else at the time.

A dealership that I work at has a 325e coupe ( they're not selling it though, it needs a new gas line and a couple other MINOR things and they'd just prefer not to mess with it ). The inside it decent and the exterior is good. I'm tempted in taking it and modifying the hell out of it. Ha

Hi, I just saw your video of your driving DoctaM3's Huracan Performante and I'm sorry that this comment is off topic but i'm curious what's it like to drive a low to the ground supercar like a Huracan or another one on a road with bumps, potholes, and huge holes in road where when you accidentally ride over it, you feel the car slumping and the wheels makes this loud thump sound. How would driving low supercars feel like in a place like NYC, that's pothole and bad roads central?

@TedwardDrives 6 жыл бұрын

For me its pretty annoying. Both his Performante and Spyder have the nose lift which is great and allows you to deal with the scary bumps...But I've driven both cars on really rough roads and psychologically it can be tricky because a wrong move could be pretty expensive. That being said, the Huracan is as daily drive-able a supercar as they come (excepting the R8 and maybe some Mclarens with the hydraulic suspension). The gearbox and powertrain are great for putting along, blasting onto the highway, and not too bad in traffic. They are stiff but if you are willing to be cautious its definitely doable. NYC is asking quite a bit. Even my M3 on the parkway is gamble with the big bumps.
