Unique footage! A film used by BMW Europe to promote their 3-series with beautiful footage from the 325i convertible, 325i coupé and sedan, 325e, M3 and 325iX.
What many people does not realize is that an ordinary well made car can be driven on rough roads often better than a "offroad car" if the driver has skills. If you look away from the situations where only ground clearance matters.
Dripping with the 80's. The music the artistic videos, simply everything. The winter street bashing video is something you would never see in a modern day promo. Today, cars disallow fun, they have to be more intelligent than you, consume no fuel and look like a piece of well used soap. I want one, really bad. M3's prices have gone through the roof and 325i's are following soon.
What a lovely time piece this is, from back when owning a BMW was something a bit special. Contrast with today where 45% of their sales are SUVs and small diesel hatchbacks like that ghastly new 1-Series.... the appeal is just not the same. I will always love cars of the E-xx generation but the current crop have definitely lost that special feeling of their elders.
@@OffGridInvestor I actually prefer the Astra! At least it doesn't have that ugly oversize grille that makes the 1-Series look so pig nosed. Also I've sat in the 1-Series and the interior is really nothing to shout about. Only just on a par with Vauxhall tbh, arguably inferior in some areas. Very disappointing car! As a long-time BMW fan it really hurts to see what they've been reduced to these past 5 years or so.
Back in the days before they started using low quality plastics for all their parts and weren't haunted by bad Vanos systems that never seem to run right.
I have a 1988 E30 325i Touring model. I acquired it 5 months ago. I am its 10th owner. It is now 32 years old with 245,000 miles on the mileometer. It is still driving perfectly. An absolutely brilliant car.
My father was easily in his early 30s when this video came out and back then most people around his age knew what a BMW stood for: power, luxury, wealth, and prestige. It was something people strived to get and it was fun to own. Nowadays people complain about the cost of owning a BMW, but in his day it was all about owning it rather than worrying about it. P.S. Love the new F series BMWs. Own one myself and it has been nothing but a great experience.
My dad would have been in his 40's when this ad came out and was driving Cadillacs at that time. Unfortunately he has moved on to being a Hyundai fan boy and pokes fun at me for owning e30's and s30's... "Why would you want to own those little old cars that you have to constantly maintain? I've got a 10 year warranty on my Hyundai and never have to open the hood."
Thank you so much for this, I've been looking for official factory videos for YEARS, literally. Could you please upload some more E30 and E34 stuff? Thanks again :)
The e30's have high and low beams with the same size and shape while the e28 have smaller size high beams. E30's dont have that soft spoiler on the trunk and exsaust in almost in the middle. They look alike like most of the BMW's from that era but they are a few differences. Plus the e30 have sportier seats unlike the car in the video which have luxurious leather seats from that era. Know the difference. Idk how nobody notice this by the time i write this comment. I know alot about bimmers and grew up around people who owned at least one of them just like me.
After saying that, source is I own an 88 ix. Best snow car we've ever owned with Blizzaks, excellent mechanical awd with really capable transfer case (up to 90% torque to either axle), outperforms the modern MB 4matic and E46 330xi we have hands down.
