AFAIK, there's nothing other than primer under the majority of the polyurethane underseal used on E30s. Any seams and joints will have seam sealer brushed into them, which could be described as a white rubbery substance. Seam sealer is readily available from any motor or paint factors.

The product your looking for is 3M 08800, its a 2 part sealer that needs a special gun to spray on.
I purchased mine from: www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk
To cover total underbody of e30 took 17 bags (250ml), and not cheap.
It took a month of weekends to remove old sealer with a heat gun.
3m sealer looks and feels like original, when set, paint same colour as car. Bobs your uncle

That's the black (or grey) coat. OP was asking about a white substance underneath.
