The BMW E30 3 Series, produced from 1982 to 1994, marked a significant shift in the brand's direction. It was the first generation of the 3 Series to utilize a unibody structure, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame construction of its predecessors. This new design enabled the E30 to offer a more refined driving experience with improved handling and ride quality. The car's success stemmed from its lightweight construction, excellent handling, and a range of powerful engines. From the sporty 325i with its 2.5-liter inline-six engine, to the fuel-efficient 318i, the E30 offered a diverse selection to meet a variety of needs. The iconic M3 variant, born from the desire for a homologation special for the Group A touring car racing series, further solidified the E30's position as a benchmark for driving enthusiasts.

The 325i, 325e, and 325es models featured a 2.5-liter inline-six engine, a hallmark of BMW engineering at the time. The 325i, with its 170 hp and 168 lb-ft of torque, provided a smooth and powerful driving experience. The 325e, with its focus on fuel efficiency, employed an electronic engine management system and a slightly lower output, but still delivered a satisfying driving experience. The 325es, aimed at the luxury market, featured additional comfort and convenience features. The E30 325 models were offered in various body styles, including the iconic two-door coupe, the practical four-door sedan, and the spacious four-door wagon. The introduction of the E30 3 Series marked the beginning of a long and illustrious legacy for the 3 Series, establishing it as a global icon and a benchmark for performance, handling, and driving enjoyment.
