The BMW 3 Series E30 is a compact executive car that was produced by BMW from 1982 to 1994. It was the third generation of the BMW 3 Series, and marked a significant departure from its predecessors, introducing a more modern and aerodynamic design language. The E30 was available in a variety of body styles, including a 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, and 5-door touring wagon. It was also available with a wide range of engine options, from the base 1.6-liter four-cylinder to the powerful 3.5-liter six-cylinder. The E30 was praised for its handling, performance, and build quality, and it quickly became a popular choice for both enthusiasts and everyday drivers.

The E30's success was further cemented by its inclusion in several motorsport disciplines, particularly touring car racing. The car's light weight and powerful engines made it a competitive force in championships like the German Touring Car Championship (DTM). The legendary BMW Motorsport division developed several high-performance variants of the E30, including the M3, which became a revered icon for its exceptional performance and handling capabilities. The E30 M3, with its wider body, larger engine, and numerous other modifications, dominated the touring car racing scene during the late 80s and early 90s. These victories further solidified the E30's reputation as a well-rounded and capable performance car. Today, the E30 is considered a classic car that continues to be highly sought after by enthusiasts, while its legacy continues to influence the design and performance of BMW's current models.
