The Full Banana Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 If my count is correct, it was over 10 years ago that I sold my previous e30 to @visian , so it was time to pick up another. It’s a 1987 325i 5 speed in schwarz over cardinal. My friend’s parents owned it for the last 10 years but only put 3,000 miles on it during that time, and it’s been stored out of the elements. We’ll see if this gets a thread or not. I’m not planning on going crazy with this car. This will be the simple, carefree summer cruiser to serve as a counterpart to the angry, money pit Volvo.

SteelBlue Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Been doing a lot of homework throughout the work day the past couple of days. Probably 10-15 races down over different time periods. Mostly 90s to early 00s. The FW17 and the B195 are probably my favorite F1 cars. Murray Walker for F1 and Paul Page for Indy are such iconic voices.

gilber33 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Anyone track how many miles they get on a tank of gas in their e30 (with an m20)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 When I was keeping track: at Blackhawk Farms Raceway 11-13 mpg, at Road America 8-10 mpg. Your street mileage will likely be higher. 😁 Jdesign, m42b32 and B C 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to track it based upon odometer mileage and actual fuel put in, but the OBC generally reads anywhere from 18-19 mpg in mostly city or hard driving all the way up to 24ish on the highway. This is an auto vert with a 4.10 rear end, so keep that in mind. As far as range, I don't remember exactly what I normally get off the top of my head, but something around 300-325 miles I think is about right (per OBC).

straight6pwr Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 i've heard these grandiose tales of 27-30mpgs from 325i e30s. i believe them all to calculated with bad math and/or for the owners to be driving unreasonably boring, hypermiling like a prius owner. i tracked fuel consumption in my M50 (more efficient than an m20) e30, on an all-highway road trip to Colorado. with a 3.25 rear end, I was getting 26mpg. granted, the car had lots of gear in it and i was doing 80mph for most my m20 e30 that I had for 10 years had an average of around 21mpg, mixed driving.

m42b32 Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 MPG talk makes me miss my e36 318is, I averaged 33mpg no problem. Definitely don't get over 20 on the e30 now, but that's my fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 29, 2020 Report Share Posted May 29, 2020 Commuting my 325i I was always pretty stoked to get anywhere north of 20 mpg. The e30 318is was consistently getting 28+ hwy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
