Model history

The BMW E30 was introduced in November 1982 as the successor to the first 3 Series (E21) and further developed under design chief Claus Luthe. Unlike its predecessor, the E30 was offered in significantly more variants, including two- and four-door sedans, a convertible, and later the Touring. Thanks to its diverse body styles and the characteristic inline-six engines, the E30 became one of the most influential and successful generations of the BMW 3 Series.
