E30 325i Retro Magazines :-)

[87mtech27]

No Probs, my magazine collection is huge before the days of the internet this is what got me by at the cost of doing my school homework

Thanks for this really good content

[jimbom30cab]

I'd love to have a collection of old e30 magazines from the day

Wish i'd kept my stack of "revs" and "maxpower"s now

[pony]

Do you have any more magazine reviews specially of E30 325i Sport ?

A Pisyonheads link I posted earlier yesterday had link to Tech2 Sport review

[87mtech27]

This one is for Pony

No unfortunately I don't have any more specifically on E30 325i Sport... I do have a few buying guides on E30 M3 Sport Evo.

One of my first BMW magazines and how I came to know of 02s and CSLs... needless to say I absolutely love them.

Quality content on this thread!
Love the E21!

Have another magazine with the silver B6 2.8 feature that I will scan when I get the chance.

Bedtime reading

[jimbom30cab]

thanks for that

[87mtech27]

No prob Jim.... I really like the C2 2.5 (2554cc) vs 325i Sport (2494cc) feature. Surprised no one has ever done a B6 2.8 vs C2 2.7/ H28 vs H27 comparison... I would hazard a guess the 2.8s to be more of a cruiser and 2.7s to be more revvy and lively.

Anyone got any more ?

Sport has weight distribution not quite as good as M3
Steering rack not quite as tight asM3
Not much slower than M3 too

[Mitchen]

Good read those!! Although they just love to slate a 320

[87mtech27]

I went on ebay to replace my 3.0 CSL vs 2002 Turbo magazine as mine was in bad condition and ended up buying £50 worth of BMW magazines last week

I will upload some of the E30 related articles when I get the chance including 325iS (SA 2.7) vs Alpina C2 2.7

[jimbom30cab]

^^ cool, looking forward to that. I'd love some mags with e30s in.

[pony]

Also the articles on this page say buy the ones with the latest reg plate
I would have thought should be by condition ?

The white H28 is BMWsports on here and lives opposite me

Making me realise how many features on my Sport which were standard or options which I am grateful for and are common in most modern cars
LSD, M-Technic suspension, PAS, ABS, electric mirrors, rev counter, SI lights, check control, OBC, Central locking, torch, toolkit, fog lights, 2x reverse lights, 2x exterior mirrors, 5 speed gearbox, NA 6 cylinders. Such a great fun car for the money and so much fun learning how to drive RWD !

C41 PTO is currently in my garage...
