#BMW #mercedes #dtm
Each generation of BMW M3 is unique, fast and fantastic.
All borne from that initial idea. Make a race car for the road.
The BMW M3 launched a middling German car brand from stuffy luxury brand, to where you go when you blood burns with 91 octane. When you need the world’s finest cars, that hold no punches, and leave no witnesses.
This is THE SQUIDD, a channel devoted to telling boring stories BOLDLY. Automotive icons, car company calamities, supercar legends and underdog heroes. All told through the lens of The Squidd, automotive content creator famous for being a dude with bad hair.

  • My dad bought an E30 M3 in Tucson Arizona in 1987. I was born in 1993, and brought home from the hospital in the same car. I learned how to drive manual in it at the age of 11. My first autocross at 15 was in the same car, on the same clutch no less. The car now sits in my garage after my dad passed it down to me. It will never be sold, always cherished for the amazing vehicle it is. My hope is my (future) children will have a chance to experience this car some day.

  • My dad raced e30 m3s when they first came out (late 80s, I think 89 was when he was first introduced). Went through about 2-3 of them, and currently had one when his friend blew the motor in his. The car was absolutely gorgeous, a true street example. My dad had the engine swapped with the sport evo motor, and every single sport evo part was installed. It IS a true sport evo, just not badged so (this is when you could get the parts from Germany directly). Now, with his passing in November, I’m a 19 year old with not one but two e30m3s (he also kept his last personal racecar fitted with a group a close ratio gearbox and massive weight reduction. They are among a few cars in the collection that will never see another owner, besides hopefully my son one day. These cars are more than hunks of metal, they’re emotional beings that need love and care and affection just like the rest of us. I’m beyond grateful that he left me these gorgeous examples of automotive history, but to me it’s more than JUST a car, it’s a time machine to happy memories and moments with my dad. I miss you pops, and I’ll take care of your babies forever.

    • I owned in Alpine White '89 E30 M3 which I paid $13,750 for in 2001. To this day, I fully regret selling it three years later, but I needed some extra money for college. Today, those beauties sell for 75K+, while some go above six figures. Your dad would be so proud that you're holding on to those beauties considering (a) the time/energy/care he put into them is staying in the family (b) the value has shot up tremendously in the last decade. I've owned several rather 'nice' cars since then, and nothing compares to the driving experience of an E30 M3. I'd take a 1991 225hp Evo over a 500hp M4 any day. I fear that BMW's motorsport division has taken much of the driving experience out of the more modern M cars with all the new driving assisted features (paddle shifting, traction control, driver assistance, launch control, etc.) There's nothing like the driving experience of an E30 M3.

As someone who makes automotive media for a living, this really is one of the best pieces ive ever seen. This kept me on the edge of my seat the entire length of the video, regardless of the fact that I know this story through and through. Hell, i have an e30 M3 tattooed on me. Yet somehow, I was so amped up, like this was the first time I'd heard this story. Multi-million dollar production companies cant emulate what this channel does, let alone compare.

  • 9 years ago I bought my first car at age 16, an E30 325is. At the time I didn't realize the motorsports history behind the E30 and the M3. After learning about it, I appreciated my car that much more. Although not an M3, it is now a heavily modified car, now with an LS engine and completely redone suspension and brakes. It is my first car and I will never sell it. I've learned so much about driving and building a car through my E30. Having such a legendary car and having lots of sentimental value to me, I don't have the heart to ever get rid of it.

  • Manufacturers knew that people wanted to see a car win at the track and be able to go buy it long before the E30 M3. As much as I pains me to say, NASCAR was doing this for American manufacturers decades before the E30 was dreamed of. “What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday” used to be the saying. Awesome episode though. I do love some vintage German cars.
