I remember as a child growing up in Soweto there's was a gangster who had this, he actually hid this car from the community because he knew one day its value would be crazy.
@@mohaumokhethi8625 that guy wasn't hiding it from the community because it's value would rise, homie was hiding it because he didn't want the owner to find his ride. Lol, only kidding fam, these cars are special as hell.
I've been telling people for years that in the 333i you had to choose between the aircon and powersteering because of the engine size and that was because I was told that and never really got down to checking up that fact lol. Thanks top video
Can confirm - I’ve got the slightly bigger 3.5L version of the M30 engine in my E30. Had to give up air con in favour of power steering. The engine doesn’t really ‘fit’ ha- barely 5mm gap from the bulk head and 5mm gap from the radiator. You have to shoe horn it in
Very Nice. I still have my 1990 BMW e30 318i , Much to my wife's dismay, I refuse to sell it. She still runs and is in pretty good condition. I cannot go anywhere in it without getting a guy walking up to me. You can tell right away what they want. I give them the same line - it is not for sale. I have had it 22 years now (I'm now 43 ) So basically half my life. I park her right next to my 2001 BMW E46 325 I 😃
I had the privilege to see one in the flesh in 1987 when I was 20, since a friend at the time took me to his dad's BMW Dealership. They had one on order which arrived the previous day. I thought it was awesome and fast, but did not cherish the moment since we never realised what it would become. Good to see one in this pristine condition as collector's item.
I had the pleasure of driving one of these beauties back in the 90's. It was henna red in colour. Ill never forget the dog leg first gear and infinite ability to spin its rear wheels at a moments notice.This is a real BMW... they dont make them like this anymore. One needed to have skill and balls to drive this analogue beast @ 10/10ths.
A family friend had a red with tan interior 333i from new and I remember having drives in it. Was awesome. Eventually they sold it about 12 years ago. Was a great car
My 1st job after school in 2002 in Joburg, My Boss let me take his red 333i for a drive on my own. stopped at the robots. got ready to let rip. slammed it into "1st" and dropped the clutch... it was in reverse... just got my foot on the break to stop an inch before slamming into the car behind me. Drove slowly back to the office.
I remember that time well.At that time I lived in South Africa. In 1986 a new 333 i cost around R 55 000.Which was incredible value. Car Magazine did a road test for the January 1986 issue. 0-100 km/h in 7,2 seconds. Top end true 231 km/h.
@@Dogmandziddy yes, of the old box shape (BMW). The new ones are nice but I'm not sure about them. Maybe if I can afford the new BMW car, and drive it, I might make up my mind.
i know someone who had one standing cause he needed a clutch. It stood for a few years and when i asked about the car he said he had sold it for 40k !!! He regrets that sale to this day.
Everything about this video has made me feel like I want to get my own BMW Gusheshe and tune it to be a complete work of art in future. I feel so, inspired... In the most nostalgic way.
Fantastic car, you’re very luck to have driven it. Very well presented. Love the editing\production of this video as well. It was on point, I could feel the emotion.
I always heard about the 333i this is the first time seing one even on RU-vid still looks magnificent 👌 thanks for the info as well never knew there were only a few made 👍
The 325is was actually quicker than the 333i...I suppose the 333i was more aimed at grand touring, rather than racing per sé...I personally think the 2.7L sounds better than the 3.2L used in this car.
Hi there, sorry to hear you're not having a great experience. How would you suggest we improve it? We're always happy for feedback. Thank you for supporting us
They don't make them like this anymore, such a shame that to most South African's that only 210 where built plus these where the last real makoya beamers. All time favorite 3 series fan, box shape masters the 325is Evo and 333i
