The BMW E30 is a compact executive car that was produced by BMW from 1982 to 1994. It was the second generation of the BMW 3 Series, which was introduced in 1975. The E30 was a popular and successful model, with a range of engines and body styles, including a two-door convertible, four-door sedan, and five-door station wagon. It was also the first 3 Series to be available with a diesel engine, and the first to offer an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The E30 was praised for its handling, ride comfort, and build quality, and is still considered one of the best BMWs ever made. It is also a popular choice for enthusiasts, with many aftermarket parts available to customize the car.
